Just a Pinch of South

For those of us who grew up in the South but have moved elsewhere, we love our roots and all they have provided. There's a lot that I've come to appreciate about the South. But let's be honest, most of us don't want to go back to "full Southern." We're happy with just a pinch here and there to add flavor to the life we live now. If you are not a Southerner, perhaps you'll come to better appreciate the little gifts the American South has given and continues to give our culture. Photos are not mine unless specified. Email me at justapinchofsouth @ gmail dot com. I tweet at @apinchofsouth and my other tumblr is called "everythingthatdoesntfitelsewhere" which is just what it sounds like.

If you’re not from the South, then Bojangles probably won’t make sense to you. Or, I should say, our reliance upon it would not make sense to you. It lacks the cleanliness and class of a Chik-Fil-A. Nor does it have the national reputation of a KFC. There is no ambiance, or intense marketing campaigns. But here’s the thing. The biscuits are amazing. Just right. There when you need them. And they not only will sell you sweet tea in a cup (how could they not?), but you can by a gallon jug of the stuff. Freshly made. As dark as Coca-Cola. If you find yourself on a road trip through North Carolina, let me recommend that you make it your drive-through lunch stop and see what I’m talking about.
