Southern Kitchen Restaurant on 6th Avenue in Tacoma has been serving the Pacific Northwest’s hunger for genuine Southern food since it opened, building a reputation around fried chicken, collard greens, and the kind of soul food plates that make people drive from Seattle to Tacoma on a Sunday. It appeared in Season 6, Episode 8 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Homestyle,” which aired June 1, 2009. Guy Fieri found a kitchen doing the real thing far from the South — the same scratch-made, deeply seasoned, generously portioned soul food that earns homestyle as a genuine description rather than a marketing term.
