N’Gina Guyton is an artist dressed up as a boss. She owns South, one of Sacramento’s most beloved restaurants, as well as The Quinn and The Good Saint, a shop for thoughtfully curated vintage and an event space, respectively. I am visiting N’Gina at the site of her newest project, Of Soil and Water Farm. This piece of heaven is right outside the city of Sacramento, and today N’Gina is dressed in teeny tiny shorts, tall rubber boots, and freshly cropped, bleached hair.
When I write that South is beloved, I am not being hyperbolic. Since they opened their doors in 2014, there have been lines of locals waiting patiently for N’Gina’s family recipes: fried catfish and chicken, kale so tender you want to write it a love song, and cornbread, as well as banana pudding parfait and fried green tomatoes. It’s hard to imagine the food scene in Sacramento before South, frankly.
