The south has always been known for its distinct southern style cooking. Southern food was influenced by both the Native American and African American people. The Native Americans introduced the first Southerners to vegetables such as corn, pumpkin, and squash, while African Americans introduced Southerners to greens such as okra, field peas, and eggplant. Through the years, southern food has developed into recipes such as fried chicken, black eyed peas, fried green tomatoes, peach cobbler, collard greens, and biscuits and gravy. The south is also known for its sweet tea. However, each region has a different flare of southern style food. Lousiana is known for its hot sauces, while Virginia is famous for its Smithfield ham, apples, and peanuts, and Tennessee for its country ham. Most states have their own style of barbecue. Georgia is called the peach state and is also noted for its pecans, peanuts, and vidalia onions. Southerners can find a way to fry just about anything, making southern food not just the most fattening, but the most delicious cuisine.
In my opinion, Mary Mac's is the best place to get an old fashion homecooked meal. Their menu features all the best country food such as country fried steak, meatloaf, and fried chicken. They also have the best vegetables around, and there are so many options of sides to pick from such as cole slaw, fried okra, collard greens, mac and cheese, cream corn, dumplings, cornbread, sweet potato souffle, and steamed cabbage. You will never leave still hungry!

Kelly--see what I wrote for Hannah. Some great stuff here, but I want you to work on SUPPORTING your ideas--use links to find resources that support it, or draw on specific experiences that provide some evidence! The bit on Mary Mac's is a good start--be more specific next time.
