Fixins Soul Kitchen

A soul food institution in the Crenshaw district serving baked mac and cheese that has earned it a spot on Yelp top-ten lists for both mac and cheese and baked mac and cheese in Los Angeles. The recipe uses a blend of sharp cheddar and Gruyere layered with elbow pasta and a buttery breadcrumb crust that bakes until the top is crispy and the interior is molten. The no-frills cafeteria-style setup moves quickly and keeps the focus entirely on the food. Order the baked mac and cheese with the smothered chicken.
