A collard sandwich is not the typical attraction to
establish a regional reputation. But it is for Chef Kenneth Collins and his
UPro restaurant in Aberdeen, NC, where
he has developed an extensive following of appreciative customers.
The star attraction of his business begins with fresh, hand-cut collards. The
greens are cooked for an hour with a little fat and a special blend of
seasonings and then packed between two round fried pieces of cornbread. Strips
of bacon are added over the cut collards for additional flavor and sweetness.
