Lindsey Williams: Taking Soul Food to a Whole ‘Nutha Level
The Banter
The Guys discuss their recent trip to the Bastianichs’ relatively new restaurant Del Posto in NYC. It manages to be opulent, friendly and “New York” all at once while serving delicious meals.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys connect with soul food royalty Lindsey Williams author of Neo Soul: Taking Soul Food to a Whole 'Nutha Level about his upbringing, rise, fall, and what it’s like being back on top. Lindsey has found a way to continue family tradition with healthy versions of the soul food he was raised on to keep body and soul together a little bit longer.

LINDSEY WILLIAMS
Lindsey Williams, is the grandson of Harlem's queen of soul food, Sylvia Woods. He grew up in the kitchen of his grandmother's legendary restaurant, Sylvia's Restaurant, where he learned the art of authentic soul food cooking. He became a successful music producer and Executive Vice President of Urban Music at EMI Records.
Realizing that he could not continue living well at over 400 pounds, he completely changed his lifestyle and his diet, lost more than half his weight, and created his own brand of healthy soul food cooking. He wrote a cookbook Neo Soul: Taking Soul Food to a Whole 'Nutha Level.
He is a student at The Natural Gourmet Cooking School in New York City, and the owner of Neo Soul Events and Catering.
THE INSIDE TRACK
The Guys were impressed by Lindsey’s success in food, music and now as a cookbook author and how he draws on all of his experiences for his most recent gig. He made a lot of connections while in the music industry and he’s now a caterer to the stars.
Lindsey: Doing catering, doing an event, it's like almost shooting a video. You come up with the concept of the theme of the party and you give them that atmosphere.
Francis: So not only do you have the food skills, you've also got LL Cool J's cell phone number, so that really helps.
