Food

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.

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.
