“We Dined At Billie Black’s Last Night”

The ReadyWriter

And all I have to say is, Sylvia might be the Queen of soul food but Billie’s Black must be the King!

Located in one of my favorite neighborhoods, Harlem New York, this restaurant served up some serious soul food to satisfy our appetites.

To conclude and commemorate black history month, me and my staff started our weekend restaurant excursion, that we’re calling our “tour de-soul“, where we will patronize and dine at black owned restaurants from Thursday through Sunday.

Billie’s Black’s have a happy hour and the heifers on my staff had to be there for that, because of course you all know; blog queen don’t drink!!!!

Let me get right to our menu choices: for appetizers, we had fried chicken wings, catfish strips, salmon cakes and shrimp cocktail.

For dinner our choices were: BBQ salmon, chili red snapper, carolina stewed chicken, Billie’s grand BBQ ribs and the fried catfish, they kept calling it crack fish.

Our sides were: potato salad, lima beans, black-eye peas, collard greens, mac&cheese and mashed potatoes <-(what can I say, there’s a white girl in my crew).

Parking not the best however we had no issues.

So, whenever you’re in the mood for some soul food diversity check out Billie’s Black, there’s something for everyone and it’s well worth the trip.

      11. people, let’s RESPECT the blog administrator’s craft. she’s there to ‘assist’ Tracy and that’s all that matters and imo, she handles the small things, things that blog queen may not have time to deal with like ‘petty emails’ on a daily.

        besides, when i met her, she told me she does alot of other things within their company too.

        @bigbelly, that’s what i like about her that she’s a pitbull.

      15. Alot goes on behind the scenes with Carolyn and the business of being Tracy’s assistant. she takes alot of heat for just doing her job. the girl has tough skin and don’t care what you ‘think’ about her either. LOL.

        And ya’ll better know she’s probably reading what’s being said about her2. 🙂

        she likes being mysterious and she takes pleasure in her craft., oh and the woman makes a lot of money doing what she does. (not that that’s important) but I just thought I’de throw that out there.

      16. she likes being mysterious – yeah she does, because when I saw her at the HBF, she kind of stayed in the background. when somebody said her name, that’s how i knew it was her.

        @2THICK, I’m a para-professional for a law firm.

        Peace!!

      19. what’s the big damn deal about carolyn anyway. whenever you send Tracy anything you are sure to get a respond from this girl. that’s why it’s called an assistant, they are there to assist. she speaks on behalf of blog queen most of the time when you send an email anyways. but who cares.
