"The inside of Army and Lou's is a jewel compared with the rough streets outside. The tables are covered with crimson and white cloths and crowned with flowers. African-American art adorns the walls and the fat and happy chef stood in the back chatting with patrons. The waitress told me I could sit anywhere I liked and I chose a single spot near the cash register.

The menu has all the basics: fried chicken, catfish, ribs, roast turkey, chicken and dumplings, chitterlings, etc. The waitress struggled to give me a recommendation, but finally admitted that the fried catfish is her favorite. So I ordered it."
