Eeyore, I love the comment on her accent. Born and raised in southeastern Georgia about one and a half hours west of Savannah, it's a bit much for even me! It's like most of the "southern" accents you hear on tv, sounds fake to my ears. I haven't eaten at her restaurant and most likely never will. I have read some of her recipes and I'm sure she's a good cook. I choose to not eat at "southern" restaurants because I can cook the same things myself. All southern cooking is not equal. It varies from family to family, region to region, and state to state. What is good to my family isn't necessarily good to another. My parents were both raised in the same area within 30 miles of each other. Their mothers cook nothing alike! It's really strange!
Why pay so much for "southern" cooking when I do it almost every day of my life and with less butter and mayo? lol |
