#1b: Foodoir: Your Story of Tasting Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Old South is a place where people use food to tell themselves who they are, to tell others who they are, and to tell stories about where they\u2019ve been (xii).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old South is a place where food tells me where I am.  The Old South is a place where food tells me who I am. The Old South is where food tells me where we have been. The Old South is where the story of our food might just tell America where it\u2019s going (xvii).
\u2019We need a blueprint as individual and as a people\u2019 (11).
\u2018What\u2019s the best thing you ever cooked?\u2019 I asked my mother.
\u2018A little black boy named Michael; I cooked him long and slow,\u2019 she replied (13).
George Washington Carver once said, \u2018If you love something enough it will give up its secrets to you\u2019 (17).
