  I'd say false. Atlanta has a sizeable black population and I can't find any soul food restaurants with JJ in the name. Here are 15.

  Proly all the JJs went out of business.

  In any case, it doesn't seem like the term "soul food" is used in the Southeast. It's just called Southern cooking, and both black and white people eat it.

  When I lived in Dallas I had an AA dancer take me to a soul-food place in the hood in Dallas called "Sweet Georgia Brown" - I loved it - the place was a bit far from where I lived (place was in south Dallas and I lived in a suburb just north of Dallas) - it was about 20-miles away from where I lived so I would go about 2x/month usually on a Sunday afternoon - there would always be a line on Sundays of people coming from church - I was usually the only white-person in the place waiting-in-line to-order (and in the area overall) and I would often get looks as if I had two-heads LOL.
  
  Being Hispanic I often find typical American food bland but this food was def tasty and closer in flavor to the kinda food I grew-up with - and they would serve huge-portions to where I at times ate 3-times from just one portion (I always got it to go).

  It sounds like someone shared a joke not a pop quiz. If people don't use the term Soul Food in the Southeast, then where would it get used? Have you considered in 2022 there may be other words more fashionable now for the same cuisine?

  I don't know of any soul food restaurants around Detroit called JJs. All the soul food/BBQ restaurants here are good.
