feeding my soul

on my second, wait, third trip. on my third trip down to eugene, oregon. i FINALLY got to eat at papa's soul food!! i had been waiting impatiently to eat here for 3 weeks!! i had heard it was the best southern food place to eat in eugene, and seeing as i have never eaten southern food before my excitement to try it was at an all time high!

let me tell you this first off, the one thing i like most about eugene is that it is very much a college town, which also means it is very eclectic. it definitely has a lot of different eateries to offer the many different palates out there. i love the little shops and the homey atmosphere the town has. papa's soul food restaurant only added to the eclectic aspect of this town...

i love the smoker in the back^_^

the house, turned restaurant, also has a deck for when the weather is warm. unfortunately, if you can't already tell by the picture, the weather wasn't very nice at all. so i took my food back to my hotel. i wanted to enjoy it while i watched the playoffs...when got there i couldn't wait to dig in!


pork bbq ribs, macaroni and cheese, red beans and rice, and corn bread...i was in heaven. if you ever make it to eugene, oregon you would be crazy not to make a stop at papa's soul food.
