You know, probably the best restaurant I've ever eaten in, and an extremely unconventional one, at that, is Warehouse #1 in Monroe, Louisiana. I wish I could write to Alton and tell him not to miss it. The hush puppies melt in your mouth. I ate a whole basket of them before the food came. I couldn't stop! Pop one of those babies in your mouth and you are in heaven! And the fried catfish was even better! Absolutely the most mind-meltingly wonderful Southern food ever! It's been years since I was there, but I will never forget it! Posts: 6246 | Registered: Aug 2004

Weird stuff. Jenni bought some once, but we never made it.
Sawmill gravy is the worst though.If you get it on your hand (cleaning up, for instance) you smell it all day long, even if you wash your hand.

Kwea, I like Cracker Barrel. Sawmill gravy is wonderful on fried chicken and also on mashed potatoes. As for sourthern food, I cried when I found out people in other parts of the country don't eat hush puppies. They are delicious. You guys are missing out! Also, fried okra is super fantastic. Also fried green tomatoes. Someone just introduced me to fried red tomatoes, and they're even better! Actually, pretty much anything tastes really good if you coat it in corn meal and deep fry it until it's crispy. Yay for southern food! =)

It just so happens that last year, at an amusement park, I met someone who I thought might be related to Alton Brown.
