Southern Cuisine
Southern Cuisine and Culture
One of the defining charms in the south is the food. Moreover, soul food, comfort food, iced tea, and barbecue are prepared with love and served with pride. Regardless of where you travel in the south, amazing southern cuisine is available. We give you the scoop on what to look for and expect when you try grits, fried green tomatoes or gumbo for the first (or hundredth) time.
We appreciate the incredible diversity of southern food that comes from the blending of so many amazing cultures. Farms dot the southern landscape and people head to the south with new flavor favorites all the time. This is leading to yummy new dishes being added to our regional cuisine all the time.
Naturally, we still love our tried and true fried green tomatoes and collard greens. Nevertheless, throw those two in a spring roll wrapper for a soul roll and we love them even more! Renowned for our “vegetables” in the south, which includes everything from sweet potato casserole to fried okra. Yes, you read that right, if you go to a southern restaurant, you’ll find casseroles, fruit, and even mac and cheese listed in the ”vegetables” section of the menu.
