Jerome and his brother Samuel took the time to get to know the community in the neighborhood where they planned on establishing their business to better understand their needs, and Detroit Soul was born. A farm-to-table Soul food restaurant with healthy food options made available to folks who often lack access to these choices.

There's nothing like digging into a delicious meal, and soul food is often a good way to go. Luckily, you won't have to travel far to find it. Love Food, the publisher that hails itself "the tastiest guide on the web," spotlighted the best soul food restaurants in the U.S. Its report states:
