Corinne's Place is a restaurant in Camden, New Jersey. In 2022 the restaurant was selected as an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation.
History
Corinne Bradley-Powers, a Camden native and lifelong resident and at the time a single mother, founded the restaurant on Haddon Avenue in Camden in 1989.[1][2][3][4] Before starting the business, she was a social worker.[5] She bought the property in 1985, but struggled to get a loan, and took on a catering job to fund the business.[6] At first, the restaurant was open only on weekends.[6] By 1995, it was open Wednesday through Saturday, with an all-day buffet on Sundays.[6] Bradley-Powers was often joined in the kitchen by her mother, Fannie Anderson, who had taught her how to cook, while her own daughter worked as a waitress.[6] At the time, she advertised the restaurant as "soul food with a touch of class".[6]
In 2008, Corinne's Place was featured in a Gannett New Jersey article, which called it "a treasured part of Camden's community", noting that regulars often called on Bradley-Powers for catering weddings and other events.[7]
When the James Beard foundation announced the 2022 America's Classics list, friends texted Bradley-Powers to congratulate her; she had never heard of the foundation or its namesake.[8][9]
Menu
The restaurant focuses on southern specialties such as fried chicken, pigs feet, smothered pork chops, turkey wings, fried catfish, black-eyed peas, greens, cornbread, and sweet potatoes.[1][2][3][5] Philadelphia Inquirer dining editor Craig LaBan called Bradley-Powers “the queen of soul food” the restaurant's fried chicken “unforgettable.”[8]
Recognition
In 2022 the restaurant was selected as an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation;[10] the foundation in their announcement called the restaurant "a pillar of community at the heart of one of America’s lowest-income cities".[1] NBC News in 2020 called the restaurant "acclaimed".[11] Local and regional media have called the restaurant "iconic"[3] and Bradley-Powers a pillar of her community.[12]
Ownership
Bradley-Powers sold the restaurant to Trevor Vaughan and Craig Sawyer in 2019 and maintains a consulting role.[3]
