It's a traditional Southern format -- one protein plus three sides at a fixed price -- that's more affordable than pricing each side individually, and it's a menu structure many soul food restaurants still follow today.
The pricing difference is minimal; the culinary difference is bigger -- Creole cooking (New Orleans, city-influenced) often uses tomatoes and cream, while Cajun (rural, Acadian-influenced) is typically heartier and more rustic.
Quick-service and take-out-focused spots often price by the piece for flexibility; sit-down soul food restaurants more commonly bundle chicken into a full plate with sides.
