Houston New Year's Day lucky lunch or dinner?
This is my and my husband's first New Year's day living in Houston. We have a tradition of eating lucky foods on New Year's day, including black eyed peas, collard greens and pork. Can anyone recommend a good restaurant where we can find these? We actually live in Katy, but will go wherever to get our lucky meal!

C'mon Jaymes, soul food in Katy. This should be in your wheelhouse...

Okay, this is the one I'm thinking of. Posted by rhiamon in the "I Kinda Like Living in Katy" thread:
"Another one of my favorite restaurants is Cornbread and Collins Greens ... it's a soul food restaurants on Fry, in the same strip center as Target. Have any of you been there? I don't have a lot of experience with soul food - just Cornbread's actually, but I really love the food there. I often get the chicken and waffles, which is a lot of work to pick apart the chicken, but is oh-so-tasty. And the service is awesome - all of the staff knows us now, and they always makes us feel welcome. If you go there around noon on Sunday, the place is usually filled with many black people who appear to have just come from church - I take that as a good indication of the authenticity. Being white, I will admit that I felt a little intimidated the first time we went there - I shouldn't have, but I did, plus it was my first trip to a soul food restaurant - but that was the only time. I took one bite of fried chicken, and I magically didn't care that we were the only white people there. At any rate, I'm rambling. If you haven't tried them, you should. The fried chicken is crispy, the waffle is fluffy and light. Hubby says the collard greens are damn good, though I didn't like them. They tasted very bitter to me, but hubby says that's how collard greens are and that they are an acquired taste. He's been to many soul food places, so I'll defer to his expertise on that one LOL. Let's see ... we've also had the ox tails (FYI, not actually ox tails, as it turns out), the smothered pork chops, the catfish, and the peach cobbler. I've never been disappointed there."
