This website is devoted to the celebration of Southern Cooking. If you're a true Southern cook you already have a container of bacon grease on your stove. Git it ready - you'll need it to get started along with sweet ice tea, several iron skillets, lots o' gravy ('specially Red Eye) and hot Crisco for frying. You should also know how to cook grits! Grits, similar to polenta, is served up with cheese, onion, and garlic. Grits are great with shrimp, sausage, or just plain with butter. In Tennessee and at Waffle House, grits are "king".

Now, let's go fry up a grit!
