I asked Murilee Johnson, the subject of this week's Omnivorous, if I could come into her kitchen at Turner's Family Soul Food in Auburn Gresham and film her cooking her magic chicken and dumplings. She responded by fixing a plate of nearly everything on the menu. It was too much for me to film, but it didn't go to waste--she'd also invited a crowd of friends and longtime customers to polish everything off.

Don't forget to check this week's listings, where we have reviews of the city's most legendary soul food restaurants-- and some of the young upstarts too.
