Cook drops real Soul Food battered chicken into the deep fryer
One of the cooks at the Soapstone Church fish fry in South Carolina drops battered chicken into the deep fryer because you must have fried chicken to be soul food. Photographed as part of an editorial food story about a Black church that is trying to save itself by raising funds from church fish frys. The cemetery attached to it holds the graves of enslaved persons, making it especially important to the community. Photographed for Eating Well magazine.
