The Story of Grandma’s Pound Cake Recipe versus a Modern Macaron Recipe
This is the tale of two treats. What does a pound cake recipe and a macaron recipe have in common […]
Any other Southerners out there ever felt an odd mix of high brow AND down home at the same time? Like caviar on a deviled egg? Then you’re in the right place. Being Two-Sided Southern has a lot to do with food.
It means you are equally as comfortable at a five-star restaurant as Waffle House. Sometimes I feel like I’m trying to ride two horses with one ass. But instead of hiding one side of me from the other, I decided to embrace it all and start this site for people like me. Those Southerners who feel torn between two worlds, but also feel at home in both as well. If you like cheese grits or fried chicken with your Champagne, and don’t apologize for it, this is the place. From fine dining to casual joints, we explore food in the Southern culture.
If you ever feel Two-Sided Southern too, then pitch a woo, ‘cause you’ve come to the right place. A place where an affinity for both cheese grits and caviar mean you have great taste.

The South is filled with skilled artisans, crafty entrepreneurs and makers of all kinds. I love going into a boutique or hitting up an outdoor craft festival and discovering new creatives (usually with a thick drawl and impeccable manners) at work making incredible things. From candles to booze to prayer sticks (wha?), here are six things made by southerners I’m loving right now.
Maybe it’s my ADD. Or how we’re all trying to maximize every experience these days. But I can’t stay at one restaurant for more than an hour or so anymore. My new habit? I call it restaurant hopping or cluster dining. And I want to make it a thing. Instead of a two drink minimum, I’m a two drink maximum.
I took a road trip to Nashville and stayed in a hotel suite that had never been stayed in before.The Grand Hyatt Nashville debuted in October 2020, and my husband and I arrived only 10 days after the luxurious 591-room hotel opened its doors.
I have this odd habit of each time I choose a fancy restaurant for a nice evening out with my husband or friends, I go looking around for somewhere divey nearby to go to after. Do any other Southerners do this?
