Lexington’s Soul Food Queen Beats the Odds

Lexington’s food scene isn’t just about barbecue anymore—JJ’s Mama’s Soul Food is stealing the spotlight! Tyleata Jones went from selling plates out of her kitchen to opening the city’s first Black-owned soul food spot, even after haters tried to shut her down. Now, people are lining up for her fried chicken, mac & cheese, and that viral Keith Lee Special. Every dish is made with love (and a little bit of defiance). If you want real comfort food, this is the place! #Food #SoulFood #LexingtonEats
