Comfort from below
Southern food is the cuisine of the American South, characterized by dishes like fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, grits, biscuits and gravy, and barbecue.
It draws heavily on African American culinary traditions, reflecting the region's history.
The cooking emphasizes comfort, generous portions, and techniques like frying, braising, and slow-smoking: We stopped at a place famous for its southern food.
