If you didn’t know, UC Dining Days is from July 14th-28th this year. I had the pleasure to take my dining services to Elena’s Soul Lounge. No white T, no backwards hat. (They don’t allow that in the restaurant.)

So, if you are unfamiliar with UC Dining Days here is the website: HERE

The special is $15 for a 3 course meal. If you aren’t starving, I suggest you go with the “Crib” salad. I wasn’t starving, and this is “Eating with Eaze” so you know I had the “Set It Off” Sweet and Sour wings. They were a great way to start the meal. The Bruce Le’Roys Fried Mac & Cheese Sushi was different and very light. If you are looking to explore, try it, but you aren’t missing much if you don’t. It’s fried Mac and Cheese with shredded BBQ chicken on top.

The Second Course
There are five choices; I sampled two of the five, The Classic Soul, and The Soul. I clearly have Soul. The Classic Soul was four fried chicken wings, a ton of collard greens, and a mountain of Mac and Cheese. Everything on the plate was incredible. If you have people in the family with high blood pressure, they probably have had their fair share of plates like this.

The Soul was that southern classic plate of fried whiting and Grits. Don’t forget to throw in a side of fries! The fish was amazing, fried to perfection. The grits were some of the best I’ve had. And they didn’t even have to make them cheese grits. The fries were not really good, but after you devour the fish n’ grits the fries are an after thought.

Dessert
Dessert options were peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. The sweet potato pie was better than the cobbler, but at this point in the meal unless you hadn’t eaten all day, the dessert is really just a bonus.

This is a great sit down meal for $15 and the service isn't bad either. That’s always a plus.

It’s UC Dining Days, Go eat!

Thanks Elena’s Soul Lounge
