BEST SOUL FOOD

Clay’s Popeye’s BBQ

1121 E. South Grand Ave. 522-0386 The sauce, made from a recipe more than 100 years old the proprietors say, is smoky and full of tang, just like it should be, The menu is simple and the prices ridiculously low. The lunch special costs about the same, or even less, than a fast-food meal. The rib tips are particularly good. Go early, because the place closes while most restaurants are still getting ready for the dinner rush. Runner-up: Carter’s Fish Market
