The restaurant was started in 1971 by a group of church wives at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, who would cook BBQ for their husbands.
So many people would ask for a plate, they decided to open their own restaurant with a $50 donation from the church.
The restaurant has since been passed down generation to generation, and is now run by the pastor's daughter, Tameka Edison and her husband.
