Finding Southern food in northern California...

[ChrisL]

Gumbo and jambalaya are not "southern cooking".

I disagree. My family is from the south.

Gumbo - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

"Gumbo is a dish that originated in southern Louisiana from the Louisiana Creole people during the 18th century. "

Louisiana is in the south yes.. You got that part right.

People eat gumbo as much in Idaho and in Tennessee.

I don't know how you guys can eat grits. I've never had it but I've seen it, and it looks like a bowl full of mush.

Grits are so good with butter and fried eggs.

Shrimp and grits........cheese grits.....I love good grits......perfect with bacon and eggs.

I prefer home fries with bacon and eggs. Oh, I love me some homey home fries! Crispy on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside. I'm getting so hungry now!

There's a great BBQ spot in SF called Memphis Minnie's

Bob died..........apparently the way any good pitmaster should....from a heart attack.

I miss Flint's in Oakland. That was the VVBest BBQ spot in the BA.

That is just what we used to fry up to smother our browns beans and cornbread with, and the katsup with raw onions........

Cheese grits? I will have to give that a try. What kind of cheese? Grated Parmesan?

I use chedder- paremesan would make it a little too much like the italian dish- but jack would work nicely too.

I love Italian food so my mind is already thinking about the Parmesan.

[Asclepias]

You can't go wrong with parmesan- what I was thinking of was Polenta......more yummy food.

 

[strollingbones]

depends on how you make the cornbread...baked in the oven in cake pan...thats not cornbread...one needs an iron skillet

 

[strollingbones]

any dish needing okra has to be southern you can barely grow it outside the south needs hot ass weather

 

[Uncensored2008]

Can it even be done? All I want is some real tea and fried chicken and maybe some greens and cornbread on the side. It's been like three years. -.-

Real tea?

California has the best tea in the world.

At one point they did expand - I think the kids tried to run the places. It didn't work out.
