Still investigating...
So Ms. HF & I went looking for the truth about Doris' and soup & soap. We found the new Doris'!!! It is indeed at 3606 N Williams, but it's not open yet. We were told it will be open starting this Wednesday, with a 'grand opening' celebration in about two weeks! ^

So then we went to try for Miss Ella's Soup & Soap. It was closed, with no explanation. The phone has been disconnected.

Now "so hungry we could almost eat at Arby's", we went to Yam Yam's. I had the beef ribs because I've had pork the last 10 or so times, so I wanted a change. The ribs were not as meaty as I might like, but that's what I get for ordering beef ribs! The sauce was sweet & tangy, Not much smoke or spice. Like what I've had around the Georgia/Tennessee region. I had red beans & rice, and collard greens on the side. Ms. HF had Catfish, with Mac & cheese and greens. We also split an order of DELICIOUS southern fried chicken wings. IMHO, the wings were the highlight of the meal.
YamYam's isn't much for atmosphere (see 'Southern Truck Stop' decor), but the food Is great! If you like southern style, this is it.
