Brown Sugar Kitchen
One of my favorite Southen cuisine restaurants in Oakland is Brown Sugar Kitchen in West Oakland. It’s in an area that almost entirely industrial but the out of the way location is well worth seeking out.
For breakfast, everything is good but be sure to try the cornmeal waffles. They are light and airy and delicious and often served with apple cider syrup. And, of course, you can also get your waffle with a piece of fried chicken. For lunch, the pulled pork sandwich can’t be beat. It’s served with some vinegar based cole slaw that I love so much. One of these days I will have to invest in owner Tanya Holland’s cookbook so I can make these dishes at home too.
