New Soul Kitchen Remix: Here’s How To Make Chef Jernard Wells’ Chicken Fried Steak Smothered In Creamy Gravy.

Wells kicks things off with one of his all-time comfort food favorites, chicken fried steak. Tender cube steaks are seasoned, coated in a perfectly seasoned flour mixture, dipped in buttermilk, and fried until they’re beautifully golden and irresistibly crispy. But no chicken fried steak is complete without gravy, and Chef Wells doesn’t disappoint. He finishes the dish with a rich, creamy homemade gravy made from the flavorful pan drippings, creating the ultimate Southern classic that’s perfect for spooning over every bite.

Green Beans 

Next up is a side dish that deserves just as much attention. Wells prepares a batch of savory Southern green beans featuring fresh green beans simmered with crispy hickory-smoked bacon, garlic, shallots, and chicken stock. Finished with a touch of Cajun seasoning, these green beans deliver the perfect balance of smoky, savory, and fresh flavors, proving that vegetables can easily steal the spotlight.

Classic Vanilla Old Fashioned

No Southern-inspired meal is complete without something special to sip, and Wells delivers with a sophisticated smoked classic vanilla Old Fashioned. Crafted with a smooth, high-quality bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, and just a hint of vanilla, this timeless cocktail is elevated with a smoky finish using cherrywood, oak, or pecan smoke. Garnished with an expressed orange peel and a maraschino cherry, it’s a drink that looks as impressive as it tastes and pairs beautifully with the hearty flavors of the meal.
