Eating a proper diet can be difficult. After all, there are so many options, and conflicting advice is given all the time. The following couple has found a way to serve the right foods to others. 

Lisa and Freddie Thomas-McMillan own and operate Drexell & Honeybee's. This Brewton, Alabama restaurant serves soul food and is a donations-only establishment.

From the outside, Drexell & Honeybee's looks like a simple southern restaurant. The Brewton, Alabama eatery has its own building between an alley and a vacant lot. Plants line the windows, and a colorful sign announces its presence.

Once inside, smells of greens, beans with pork, and cornbread greet you at the door. A glance at the counter reveals even more soul food favorites. There is also blueberry cobbler and other desserts because you couldn't have a meal in the south without a sweet ending.

Another thing that permeates everything southern is hospitality. You can't go very far without a friendly smile or hello. Drexell & Honeybee's is no exception to that rule.

Lisa and Freddie Thomas-McMillan don't just serve food at their restaurant, they serve love, and they do so lavishly. This eatery is a donations-only establishment. This means that customers anonymously leave as much as they can afford to pay inside a private box after finishing their meal.

While you might not be able to cook like a southerner or extend such over-the-top hospitality to others, there is something you can do to make your world a better place. If you can, please take a moment to leave a comment here or at another social media community to encourage others or to tell them about this heart-healthy soul food restaurant.
