Alta – West Adams District

The vision of this Soul Food restaurant is from two chefs: Keith Corbin and Daniel Patterson. The menu is influenced by traditional West African food and California cuisine fused with Southern flavors. Every plate that is brought to the table is packed with a steep soulful taste of our ancestral roots. The goal of Alta is to celebrate the inclusivity of a new generation of rising culinary talent. Let’s start with the appetizers and then lead into the tasty main entrees.

Every bite was mouth-watering from the spicy herb sauce to the light sweet creamy texture of the Grits to the earthy broth of the Gumbo and finally, the smokey flavor of the collard greens more than satisfied our tummy’s. We even had the chance to chat with Chef Keith Corbin, about the splendid food he had prepared for us. I’m going back without a doubt, especially for the Black-Eyed Pea Fritters, and try the Pineapple-Coconut Upside Down Cake.

Alta – West Adams District Address: 5359 W. Adams Blvd Los Angeles, Ca 90016 | Hours: Wednesday – Sunday 11:30 am – 8:00 pm.

G.O.A.T

Chia Tea with Oat Milk

G.O.A.T (Avocado Toast): is a slice of toasted ciabatta with honey, goat cheese, avocado, lemon dressing, arugula, red pepper flakes & a fried egg. The choice of ciabatta bread makes this plate of food more filling for a foodie. The creamy texture of the goat cheese and honey cuts through the tanginess of the lemon dressing and the bite of the arugula. The addition of the red pepper flakes creates a hint of heat in the back of your throat. I had a difficult time deciding between G.O.A.T, Shrimp & Grits, and Southern Comfort. I will definitely visit this casual neighborhood cafe again to check out the other two dishes.

Georgia’s Restaurant Soul-Delicious!

SOUL FOOD is crunchy, smothered in sauce, deep-fried, creamy, sweet mixed with warm spices and cajun influence that lingers in the back of your mouth or on the tips of your fingers. Food links all ethnic cultures because brings community back to the table. The month of February celebrates Black History Month. African Americans have contributed to all industries in American history. During this pandemic, it is important to support local restaurants but also Black-Owned Restaurants whom are not always recognized. Yesterday, I had lunch at Georgia’s Restaurant in Long Beach, California, where they provide delicious plates of SOUL FOOD. They have an outdoor patio with tables spaced at appropriate distances. I even had the opportunity to meet the General Manager Samuel McKinney and ironically the waitress and I share the same birth name but are spelled differently.

Georgia’s Restaurant provides pick-up and delivery options. This restaurant has two locations: Long Beach and Anaheim.

The All seasoned Cajun French Fries had a crunchy exterior and coated thoroughly with the seasoning. Plus this dish offered a great portion in terms of sharing plates. The spread of honey butter across the inside layer of the cornbread added a softness to the bite. The choice of having the Shrimp Po’Boy served on a Ciabatta Roll, made the bite pleasurable for my sensitive teeth. The Cajun seasoning on the large shrimp with the garlic mayo tied in harmoniously after tasting the sandwich. The peach cobbler had a golden crust and plenty of large pieces of fruit. It was slightly dry in terms of the juice content of a cobbler, but overall it had the right amount of sweetness.

If you have the chance to check out Georgia’s Restaurant in either one of their locations, let them know HippieSrirachaGirl referred you. It was a pleasure to meet the respectful staff at Georgia’s Restaurant. Comment below on which dish you had the chance to eat. Next time, I’ll check out their Chicken & Waffle plate! Continue to support Black-Owned Restaurants. Every restaurant deserves a platform to be recognized.

Stay safe and viligant,
