    The Food
    Chef/owner Hoover Alexander offers daily specials, but try the Jamaican jerk ribs smothered in a blend of 15 spices that adds another dimension entirely to the meaty ribs; fried catfish dipped in a thick cornbread batter and deep-fried; or the "bella" muffaletta, a portobello version of the hallowed Louisiana sandwich. All entrees come with two sides, of which there is ample selection. Jalapeno-creamed spinach is justifiably famous for its blend of finely chopped spinach, cream, Swiss cheese and onions.

    Just East of I-35 on Manor.......it's 2002 Manor

    __________________________________________________________________________________
    Here's a local review....

    I could go through the entire menu -- the meat loaf, the pork ribs, the charbroiled catfish, the Jamaican jerk chicken, the ham steak with Jezebel sauce ... on and on and it's all sensational. You literally can't make a bad choice here if you enjoy food where flavor's at the premium. Oh, and the sides ... . Hoover now has a macaroni and cheese to absolutely die for. This could be a main course on its own. Or the seasoned green beans with bacon. Or the jalapeno creamed spinach. There's no place to wander off course.

    Finish it with one of Hoover's cobblers -- blackberry, or peach -- and you are one seriously happy camper. But it's on special days when Hoover shows you what happens when he gets really serious. Like the Cajun pork roast he concocted for Easter. Man, that dish is so deliciously lethal it should have a license. Well, I could go on, but I hope you get the picture. Hoovers, on 2002 Manor Road. Go once, you'll become a regular.

    3. As long as I can remember. I bought records with my first-ever paycheck,
    that was in 1983.

    4. Many think it's lame to answer "everything" but it's just the truth.
    I like good music, rare, common, rootsy, electronic, soulful, psychedelic, whatever.

    5. Motown67's reviews kept coming up when I would look up records,
    eventually I checked out the forums, lurked for a couple months,
    now I have a "soul strut problem"

    6. Shit, I don't know.
    Maybe the John Coltrane/Johnny Hartman LP that I bought for myself
    after listening to my Mom's for half of my life?
    Otherwise it changes from week to week.
    Last week it was Dave Cortez Soul Vibration this week it is Left Banke Too.

    7. I don't ever cook tofu, although I have made tofu pups at a BBQ before.
    This thai place I used to go to had these spongy tofu things with a citrus taste that were delicious, I miss them.

    3. Years Digging?
    collecting vinyl in some form since i started buying albums in '83. knowing what i was doing was called 'digging' - since about '97

    4. Specific type of music you are into?
    the type that feels heartfelt and deep.

    5. What brought you to Soulstrut?
    i actually cant remember, but i think it was a random google about some stupid sample question that got me to the breaks, and then seeing all the strut chatter there that clued me on over to here.

    6. Your most prized record and why?
    maybe the dopest overall (to me) is my US 'procrastination' 45 or maybe my little buck 'little boy blue' 45... but i think i most prize the records i had as a kid, like snoopy vs the red baron by royal guardsmen and shit like that. stuff that brings back the old memories of growing up.

    7. Whats the greatest tofu dish you know how to cook?
    dont really know how to cook anything good with tofu, but i do well with some tofu pups, a skillet, olive oil and a heap o spices and 'Siracha' hot sauce.
