South Your Mouth With Southern Food

Eating well In the South: From fine, white table cloth dining to backyard BBQs, the South knows how to do it! There are restaurants galore, and there are people who live in the South who can cook better than your Mama. I know; I took a chance saying that.

The South has a reputation of having a cuisine that will easily leave your palate with a wow factor. For my readers who live in the U.S. and countries outside of the U.S., the southern states include (by region):

South Atlantic States: Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. East South Central States: Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. West South Central States: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

I’m a foodie and love a good meal whether prepared by the “chefs” in my Family or the chefs at a reputable restaurant. The South has plenty to choose from. Every year, many cities host Restaurant Week. Several restaurants participate in a culinary celebration for customers to partake in enjoying a menu of palate-pleasing dishes, usually at a fixed price. Depending on the restaurant, a reservation may be required or there just may be open table service.

Here is a 2019 schedule for Restaurant Week by city that started in January. If you missed one this year, check it out next year. All participating cities may not be listed. Search your city of interest.
