Geri is from Alabama and her Southern roots are smeared all over the menu of her laid-back Renton eatery, Geri's Casual Dining & Catering. Down-home fare runs deep, with collard greens and chopped cabbage braised until they're soft and buttery, thick oxtail stew, catfish, and fried okraâ"dishes that are low on the glam factor, but cooked with love (and typically a hunk of pork). Because that's what soul food is, people: humble, inexpensive ingredients generously seasoned and served alongside a chunk of cornbread. Praise the lard and pass the peach cobbler!
