Hannibal's Kitchen
Hannibal's rules the heart of the East Side soul food scene, just behind Trident Tech's Palmer campus, and while it may not be for the tourist crowd, it is true low-down modern soul. The atmosphere reflects life on the other side of the peninsula's proverbial tracks. From chicken wings and fried rice to a seafood salad that we would never touch, this is the epitome of soul food. It ain't pretty, but it's definitely real.
