The song "Soul Kitchen" is a track from The Doors' self-titled debut album. The band's lead singer, Jim Morrison, wrote the song's lyrics as a tribute to Olivia's, a soul food restaurant located in Venice Beach, California. Morrison often spent long periods of time there, prompting the staff to kick him out after long stays. This experience is evoked in the lyrics: "Let me sleep all night, in your soul kitchen".
