“In a South that no longer seems to remember its heart, our food may be the best part left. It is the opposite of the bloody past, the doomed ideals, and our still-divisive, modern-day culture; it is a thing that binds us more than it shoves us apart, from each other and the rest of the world. It is the one place in our culture where living in the past makes a lovely sense, not an antidote for all the rest of it, but a balm.”
