Hush Yo’ mouth! Man does this page make me hungry; here in SE Texas we eat this stuff all the time. Last Sunday we had fried Poke-Chops, butter beans, fried Okree, rice & gravy and corn pones! Yum Yum! I’m from Alabama, (a white boy) and never knew that I grew up on “Soul Food”? I was in New Orleans about 15 years ago and went to a small restaurant that had “Soul Food”. It was just the basic good old southern food served just like Yo’ Momma would do it, the food was in bowls on the table and you just got what you wanted. Man that was good stuff.
“Bout them grits, have you tried them with real butter or gravy? Were they instant or real? Regular or Hominy? My all time favorite breakfast is pan fried squirrel with biscuits and gravy.

Great book – yes.
Perhaps you should even give grits another try. Is polenta on your off list also?
Love the fish molds and the okra!!

I love Frank Stitt! I grew up in Birmingham and going to his restaurant, Highlands, was always such a treat. I am so excited to see that you got his cookbook and tried some of his recipes!

I’ve been agonizing over whether to buy that pan or not. I sort of envisioned doing all these variations on taiyaki (Japanese waffle fish traditionally stuffed with red bean paste). But I’m moving soon, it weighs a lot, how much will I use it, etc. But this post definitely makes it harder to say no! I really like your photography.

I’m looking forward to you getting even deeper into this book – gumbo, fried chicken, more cornbread, jambalaya, catfish – bring it on!!!

lol-even though I am from Atlanta and now live in California, I still enjoy all kinds of southern cooking especially anything deep fried. Of course, we only fry all of our stuff in rice oil-we even make fried lobster with a honey, mustard dip. Long live southern traditions ya’ll (I always go to the Varsity and Matthews when I am in Atlanta)
