orinne Bradley-Powers’ Southern classics still deliver the goods after 36 years in Camden. Her fried chicken is a multisensory experience, with flavor that bursts and skin that crackles. But it’s the fall-off-the-bone Cajun turkey wings, exquisitely fried catfish, gravy-smothered pork chops, and home-run sides that remind you why Corinne’s Place won a 2022 James Beard Award for being a “timeless” American classic. (Pro tip on side selection from the chef herself: Get collards mixed with cabbage.) Corinne’s remains a popular takeout joint, but for a sui generis experience, bring a group to the cozy pink dining room, relish the complimentary cornbread, and admire the black-and-white photos that document Bradley-Powers’ journey from a small cast-iron kitchen to a community anchor. Timeless indeed. — Max Marin
