I was surprised to see so many southern cities on the list.
I actually wasn't. Ever watch Paula Deen? I enjoy her show, but honestly, everything has lots of butter and mayo and is fried. I don't know if all southerners eat that way, I'm pretty sure they don't!, but apparently enough do! I've been to Florida and had many lovely meals that weren't like that. But who can pass up collards and cornbread and barbecue? Mmmmm, just can't find good collards and barbecue where I am without driving a couple hours. Maybe that's a good thing? ;-)
See #25 :)
Also she uses lots of cream.
