MUSKEGON, MI – For LaKisha Harris, no one makes food like people in Muskegon.
The growing soul food scene in Muskegon, home to the turkey knuckle, is a key part of that culinary landscape.
In the past five years, Muskegon’s soul food scene has grown with the launch of five restaurants or caterers starting to serve the traditionally southern cuisine that has deep roots in the Black community.
Harris opened Soul Filled Eatery last year, and she joins Corine’s Cakes & Catering, Lott & Big Weezy’s, The Hideout and Kuntry Cookin’. She believes the burgeoning soul food scene is a sign that persistent segregation in Muskegon is changing through food.
