Crave Southern Palate: Black-owned eatery in NC.

Heeey Besties! Today we’re pulling up in Pfafftown, NC to put you on to the newest black-owned gem right here in the city—Crave Southern Palate! This family-friendly spot is bringing comfort food with an upscale twist, and trust me, it’s a whole experience.

They’ve literally got a little something for everyone—beer (including my fave from @foothillsbrewing), wine, and a menu packed with favorites like hotdogs, burgers, and crispy chicken tenders. But it’s honestly the wings for me—Sweet Thai Chili, Lemon Pepper Hot, and y’all… Jerk Lamb Chops that will have you in foodie heaven!

Now, come a little closer, friends, and let’s talk sides—because babyyy, the mac and cheese, collard greens, fried okra, yams, and onion rings were seasoned to perfection!

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with the fam, Crave Southern Palate is where you need to be.

Be on the lookout for future events and karaoke on Thursdays. | #cravesouthernpalate

... Read moreMy recent visit to Crave Southern Palate in Pfafftown, NC was such a treat! I’d heard whispers about this black-owned gem, and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment you walk in, it's clear this isn't just a meal; it's an experience. The vibe is so incredibly welcoming and family-friendly, making you feel right at home. The staff were super attentive and genuinely happy to help, which always makes a dining experience so much better. While the original post touched on a few favorites, I wanted to really rave about their soul food selection. Beyond the incredible mac and cheese (seriously, it's creamy perfection with that perfect golden-brown crust!), the collard greens were seasoned just right, with that perfect tang and savory depth that only true Southern cooking can achieve. And those fried okra? Crispy, not greasy, and absolutely addictive – I could have eaten a whole basket by myself! If you're looking for authentic, high-quality comfort food in Pfafftown, NC, this is absolutely your spot. They don't just do the classics well; they elevate them, offering dishes that taste like they came straight from grandma’s kitchen, but with a modern, upscale presentation that makes every dish feel special. Let's talk menu specifics for a minute. While the hotdogs and burgers are great for a quick bite or for the kids, you absolutely must explore their more unique offerings. The Jerk Lamb Chops are a revelation – tender, perfectly spiced, and literally fall-off-the-bone delicious. I'm still dreaming about them! And for wing lovers, the Sweet Thai Chili and Lemon Pepper Hot are fantastic, but don't sleep on any daily specials they might have; their chefs are clearly creative. I also noticed they have a fantastic selection of beverages, including local craft brews from places like Foothills Brewing, which is a big plus for adults looking to pair their meal with something regional. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into curating a menu that offers something truly special for every palate and occasion. For anyone in the wider Winston-Salem area looking for a fantastic dining experience, Crave Southern Palate is absolutely worth the short, scenic drive to Pfafftown. It's quickly becoming a local favorite, and the positive reviews you hear are completely justified. It’s more than just good food; it’s about supporting a local black-owned business that brings so much flavor, warmth, and community spirit. Whether you're planning a family dinner, a casual lunch with friends, or even looking for a fun night out with their karaoke Thursdays, this place delivers on all fronts. I’ve already told all my friends to check it out, and I highly recommend you do too! You won't regret craving this Southern goodness!

Jowls are hard to fix, even with procedures. That’s why daily habits matter. Avoid overusing the DAO muscle, the muscle that pulls the face downward. This worsens jowls. Release tension with gentle massage, strengthen the upper lip and cheeks, and keep your mouth closed when not eating or talking.

Function follows shape. Shape follows function. Swallowing is one of those functions that quietly shapes the lower face. When swallowing is coordinated, the tongue lifts to the palate, the throat does the work, and the face stays relatively relaxed. When it’s not, the body compensates. Y

Are You Placing Your Tongue Wrong?
Pressing your tongue against your front teeth can cause them to move forward and affect your facial symmetry. Instead, train your tongue to stay on the upper palate about one-third back from the tip to support proper face posture and a lifted look. #KokoHayashi #KokoFaceYoga #FaceYoga

Don’t ever show your lower teeth; here’s why. When your tongue doesn’t lift to the back of the palate, it can cause a saggy chin and even make your nose look longer. With correct tongue and face posture (mewing), you can lift your jawline and support your nose naturally. Train your tongue toda

Even with a Narrow Palate, You Should Mew
Don’t worry if your palate shape makes full contact difficult. Focus on keeping your tongue lifted and flat against the roof of your mouth, avoiding too much pressure on the sides. Consistent tongue posture helps maintain better facial balance over time. #KokoFaceYoga #KokoHayashi #FaceYo
