Grab your TAP card and your appetite and head over to the Taste of Soul festival this Saturday. You’ll be joining more than 300,000 others so go early and eat often. And for a truly enjoyable experience you absolutely must take Metro. (Think about the traffic 300,000 diners will generate.)

For a taste of the Taste of Soul, check out the video above that drops by three participating restaurants: delicious Harold and Belle’s, Mel’s (melt in your mouth!) Fish Shack and lovely Chef Marilyn’s Soul Food. And hear how the Taste of Soul began, from founder Danny Bakewell Sr.

So hop on the Expo Line to the Expo/Crenshaw Station and walk and eat your way south. You’ll be happy for the exercise.
