“Evelyn's Food Love was my choice for my #Thanksgiving sides. I ordered quarter pans of her yams, garlic green beans, black eye peas & rice, and dressing because I knew everything would be delicious. And it was! Just mouth-watering, finger-licking goodness. I've eaten there before and will be back. This holiday season or just because, consider giving yourself a break and allow this #smallbusiness #chef to do the #cooking for you. #PayItForward #SupportBlackBusiness #BlackWomanExcellence”
