No Soul

Soul, the Creole BYOB on Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill, is gone after eight months.

Owners Angie Brown and her daughter Samantha Johnson opened shortly before their debut on the springtime NBC reality series The Chopping Block.

Brown says a producer approached her about doing a TV series. So she had a choice: A shot at fame or continuing in the restaurant business. (You can't have both, apparently.)

Brown will sell food (jambalaya, collard greens and/or crabcakes) through the Good Food Market, due to open in about two weeks on Willow Grove Avenue just off Germantown.
