I wonder what they did with "Dixie Cafe". I mean, that's a chain. Do they have those outside of the South?

I don't know about Dixie Cafes, but are there Dixie Cups everywhere?

Save your Dixie Cups - the South shall rise again!

I was three and on the wrong side of the palm of her hand before I realized my mama wasn't named after a paper cup!

About grits. I love them, but have long realized that they're not worth the calories. I remain secure in my Southern heritage. But those cheesy grits casseroles - really, really hard to turn down!

And the Dixie map? Many, many expats are alive and well in places they hate!

Oh, if they're made right, they're totally worth the calories.

And reading IrishLake's post has made me hungry for some Brunswick Stew.

Very much agree. My high school caf was open all day and I would come in early in the morning (a big deal for teenage me) just to get the cheese grits. It's the ultimate comfort food for me.
