Southern Menu:
1. Our Best Southern Fried Chicken
2. Tee's Corn Pudding
3. Baby Blue Salad
4. Key Lime Pie

Most Southerners would agree that a plate of down-home meat and veggies satisfies any appetite. The secret to Our Best Southern Fried Chicken is in the oil--we add bacon drippings for a tasty crunch. For a dressed-up side, try Baby Blue Salad with spicy pecans and vinaigrette. Now all you'll need is an ice-cold glass of sweet tea.
