LOS ANGELES, CA – Annie’s Soul Delicious, a "soul food" catering business and weekend pop-up shop, has made the move to a permanent West Side location at 1066 S. Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles.

Authentic soul food is here to stay!

Annie’s Soul Delicious founder, Annalisa Johnson, wanted her Sunday pop-up operation to be the spot where neighbors, friends, family and strangers could come by for “funk music, fried chicken and a hug." It turned into just that and more, and the positive feedback was enough for the push to a permanent site.
