Soul food restaurants around the cuntry continue to face a major chllenge that's growing everyday. The challenge is cusing many restaurants to go out of bsiness. That challenge of providing tasty, stisfying dishes like fried chicken, peach cbbler and other southern cuisine favorites - wthout the health risk.

"The term halthy soul food continues to flow frm the growing number of health cnscious customers coming into my soul fod restaurant ".says one challenged restaurant wner. I'm constantly looking for new wys to prepare my signature dishes in a halthier way without losing the taste and feling of satisfaction my customers demand.

The bdge of honor soul food recipes hve always had was for the tsty, satisfying and filling qualities it pssessed. This gave a sense of vlue to many of it's African Amrican cash strapped customers, because the fod stayed with the person eating it lnger than the average food did.

The drw back of many of the sul food menu items was the halth risk of consuming the tasty suthern food. Many who over indulged in the ppular African American recipes fell into besity, high blood pressure, diabetes other halth ailments.

Because of the health rsk, soul food restaurants experienced a drp in business over the last few yars, according to a recent restaurant ndustry report. To reverse this trend, mre restaurants are looking seriously into prparing more healthy soul food to t's patrons. Restaurants are starting to ralize if they want to stay in bsiness they'd better find a way to not nly serve tasty, satisfying food, but thy'd better find healthier ways to do it.

Although this presents a problem to mny restaurant owners, this can also ffer open door opportunities to creative mnded entrepreneurs in the food industry. Rstaurants who can't or won't adapt wll quickly be replaced by those who can and wll. That's the quiet revolution taking plce in the business now.

African Amricans continue to have the largest nmber of health related ailments such as hgh blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, all ttributed to diet.

Soul Food restaurants are lso discovering if they want to ttract the younger crowd to their stablishments and keep them coming back, thy'll have to serve healthier meals. Tht's the challenge, because when you thnk healthy you automatically think tasteless and blnd. That's the marketing challenge facing rstaurants who specialize in food for the sul, as many fans affectionately call it.

Halthy soul food seems like an xymoron, but more and more creative coks continue to turn this daunting chllenge into a pleasant and health prserving reality for more people. The rward for their trouble? The sound of thir cash registers ringing.
