Geographically it's close. Gastronomically it's another country. Can't get real buttermilk biscuits, can't get real sweet iced tea, can't get fried green tomatoes (and that stuff in a bag in the Wal-Mart freezer section is NOT real fried green tomatoes) can't get cornbread without sugar in it... I'm in TN and I'm STAYING in TN.
But howdy anyway Kel. Come on down to Tennessee some time and we'll feed you a good meal.
