Minnesota: Wendy's House of Soul

Minneapolis has a vibrant soul food scene, and Wendy’s House of SOUL stands out as a beloved spot for fried chicken with a creative twist. This small eatery is, as the name suggests, all about soul – owner Wendy Puckett infuses love into classic whole fried wings, which come perched on a pile of fries and drizzled with her signature “Soul Sauce”. The wings are a go-to order for many, perfectly seasoned and fried to a satisfying crunch. But the truly unique creation here is the “SoulRoll”, a brainchild of Wendy’s that has become a signature item. Imagine an egg roll, but instead of cabbage it’s stuffed with mac ’n’ cheese, collard greens, smoked turkey, and other soul food staples – then deep fried until crispy. It’s an ingenious (and delicious) way to get your entire comfort meal in a single bite, and customers can’t get enough. Wendy’s House of SOUL has a warm, welcoming vibe, and the food is made to feed not just your hunger but also your spirit. For many Minnesotans, a stop at this beloved spot for some wings and a couple of SoulRolls is as comforting as a hug from family.
