How long does it take to fix your grits? Or do you have "magic" grits?

They should go to Walnut Hills in Vicksburg, MS. It is set up in an old home from the 1880s and serves family style southern food. It's really pretty damn good.

Plus, they market it as World Famous
Southern Plantation Cuisine, so I'm sure Thompson will love that.

This show was one of my favorite watches, and this is exactly why I had to stop watching it.

I just wanted to see about some good food and meet some nice people, man.

I think HRV should host a "Wright Thompson White-Guilt Writing Contest" on the SECr.

I nominate the Tontitown Arkansas Grape Festival a couple miles west of Springdale


Tontitown was settled by Italians, and the festival has a world class spaghetti and/or general pasta competition



I buy my pasta local, and I choose the 100% whole wheat - my Mom was kind of a hippy

it's amazing and soaks in the marinara sauce

30A followed by Branson and eureka springs

I’d watch and I’m sure the advertising folks would approve

He's from Clarksdale. Pretty sure his parents went to Ole Miss. I know at least one of his cousins did.

Does Texas and Oklahoma count as true south now they’re SEC? Missouri?
