Soul Daddy himself -- that would be Jamawn Woods -- will be at the Mall of America site all day Wednesday to check out the Minnesota version of his new restaurant, one of three (the others in Hollywood and in New York City) that he won in the NBC reality competition "America's Next Great Restaurant." He'll be around all day, we're told.

Soul Daddy (the restaurant) opens at 11 a.m. and is located on Third Floor South (#344), between Tony Roma's and Noodles.

For more behind-the-scenes, the Denver Post reports on the company that made the signs (Colorado is home base for Chipotle).
