[WATCH] The Best Soul Food in NYC is on Staten Island

“I am historically the only restaurant on Staten Island to ever receive 2 stars in The New York Times, and then put on the 100 best restaurants 80 days later.” Today, Bon Appétit is spending a day on the line with Shaw-naé Dixon, founder of Shaw-naé’s House on Staten Island. Shaw-naé’s started as a local favorite serving soul food from the comfort of her own home, but now with a brick-and-mortar location and a shout-out from The New York Times, this restaurant is becoming an NYC sensation.
