| Regardless of where they come from, most American have a deep-seated love for southern food. Be it fried chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese or a combination of all three, chefs in the South keep food hot at truck stops, roadside diners and cafeterias all year round. The pull of the greasy but delicious cuisine is so strong, that even the most powerful man in the world could not resist. On a recent trip to Georgia, President Obama stopped into Mrs Wilkes' Dining Room, a savannah eatery revered for its homestyle cooking, for a lunch meeting with the mayor of the town. Ignoring the warnings of his doctor, the president downed a massive plate of fried chicken and barbequed pulled pork with authentic southern sides like cornbread, collard greens and cream corn. "Don't tell Michelle," the president joked of the meal. The move may revitalize the cuisine's popularity, which has lagged in recent years as the nation focuses more centrally on health foods. Restaurants serving Southern food might consider investing in restaurant chafers that can keep large trays of creamed corn, mashed sweet potatoes or pulled pork hot, leaving stove tops, burners and ovens open for the next order. |
