I have lived in the South 10 years and consider it to be pretty much a
culinary wasteland. I can't fathom the taste for grease, canned veggies
or overcooked veggies.

You lived in the South for 10 years and managed to not find ANY good food?
You obviously weren't even trying. There's plenty of good food in the
South, especially of the "country cooking" and barbeque variety.

I admit to actually enjoying a Cracker Barrel breakfast once in awhile, but
if you don't get out of the chain restaurants, you'll never find a really
great meal. "Grease, canned veggies or overcooked veggies" in no way
characterizes all of the restaurants in the South, nor the prevalent cuisine
there.
