Southern Foodways Alliance - Greenwood Restaurants
The Mississippi Delta has inspired writers, artists, and musicians. And cooks. Don’t forget the cooks. Spend time winding along the back roads and you’ll uncover culinary jewels: roadside hot tamale stands, Greek-owned cafés that specialize in fried quail, barbecue joints that stake their reputation on ribs, and filling stations that sell slices of sweet potato pie baked by somebody’s grandmother.
