Soul food is typically most closely associated with the Southern United States. There’s certainly plenty of delicious cuisine in New England, but it’s usually more along the lines of hot lobster rolls or fried clams, not collard greens and fried chicken. You don’t have to head past the Mason-Dixon line to get a taste of hearty soul food, though. We’ve got plenty of options for comfort food in Connecticut, and one of the tastiest is Sandra’s Next Generation in New Haven.
