Mama San Soul Shack's menu is a beautiful mashup of Southern flavors and Asian tastes become deliciously strange dishes you'd never think of on your own—like curry mac 'n' cheese, Seoul burgers, and the excellent banana leaf pork rice bowl. Traditional classics, like fried catfish and housemade pork rinds, are plentiful. $.
