Savannah Southern Dining

Southern Dining In searching for Southern Cuisine, one will come across items that are typically recognized as American, French, Cajun or a combination of all or some but there are those items on the Southern menu that are just plain southern and plain good! The types of food that can't properly be duplicated in a chain restaurant no matter how hard Popeye or the Colonel try, like batter fried, crispy and juicy fried chicken, or biscuits and gravy. And there are the less ubiquitous but no less tasty; fried ochre.

She Crab soup made with local fresh blue crab or an old favorite from the captive peoples during the plantation heyday, West African peanut soup. Of course, shrimp and grits, (stone ground and never instant!) Quintescential "southwatering" smoked pork barbeque of any cut but the ribs are especially succulent, hoppin' John collard greens, fried catfish and oh, the list goes on. While in Savannah, you must find yourself a down home southern restaurant and try at least one of these dishes. Bet you'll be back!
