Below-the-Mason-Dixon fare
Southern cooking is the culinary tradition of the American South, characterized by comfort foods, fried dishes, and slow-cooked preparations.
Core elements include fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, collard greens, cornbread, grits, and barbecue.
The cuisine reflects African American, Native American, and European influences shaped by the region's agricultural history.
Nothing beats my grandmother's southern cooking.
