Southern Hospitality

______________________________________________________________________

Southern hospitality is an age-old institution known around the globe. While the phrase is often used to refer to various values, southern hospitality can be defined in several ways. From being overly polite to making everyone feel welcome to serving massive plates of Southern comfort food, what makes southern hospitality so unique and special?

 

Unmatched Kindness 

The old saying goes, "There's no such thing as a stranger to us, just a new friend we haven't met yet!" 

Southerners are known for treating complete strangers as one of their own. Southern hospitality means holding a door open, picking up something someone else dropped, or helping someone find their way to their desired destination. Southern kindness takes little time and doesn't cost much, if anything, but it leaves a long-lasting impression on those touched by it.

Irresistible Charm  

When it comes to Southern hospitality, many think of a wink or a cute compliment from someone you pass on the street. However, Southerners have a knack for being witty and charming to everyone they meet. With a fondness for long conversations and company, you'll never feel rushed through a chat with a friend or a stranger in the south. So pull up a chair and settle in because, in the south, you never overstay your welcome.

 

Manners for Generations

Manners are taken very seriously in the south, so when it comes to southern hospitality, you will always be greeted with a friendly wave and sent on your way with a "thanks for coming!" Children are taught from a very young age to learn and use their magic words, which stick with them into adulthood.

 

Southern Comfort Food 

Southern comfort food means cooking huge, delicious meals for the masses. Southern hospitality is built on the principle that good food feeds the body and the soul. Therefore, one dish is never enough! There is no substitute for some warm cheddar biscuits, some tantalizing fried shrimp or chicken, and some gooey Mac & Cheese topped off with apple dumplings for dessert. Shared with a table of good friends, we promise you will quickly appreciate the warm and friendly feel of southern hospitality from the inside out.

 

So, when you are in the south, plan to stay while and enjoy some delicious, comforting Southern cuisine!
