Our Cracklin' Cornbread Achieves Literary Fame ~ Literally!
Some things are so wonderful we just have to share them with you. Imagine our delight to learn that our little cracklin' cornbread recipe has made it to a Top 100 List. John T. Edge, guru of Southern foods and acclaimed author extraordinaire from the University of Mississippi's Southern Foodways Alliance and Center for the Study of Southern Culture in Oxford, has named our cracklin' cornbread or "hoe cake" as one of the "Top 100 Southern Foods You Absolutely, Positively Must Try Before You Die". We are tickled pink and coming from John T., who has been called the "Faulkner of Southern Food", it's icing on the hoe cake. Read more about him at www.johntedge.com . The article is in the November issue of the award winning Southern lifestyle and hunt magazine called "Garden & Gun".

We started serving our cracklin' cornbread in the 1960's when our guests clamored for more good country cookin' from our little lunch counter in the antique museum we opened in 1965 as the Old Country Store. Our founder, Brooks C. Shaw, who was raised as a country boy himself in rural Madison County, asked his Mother, Sula or "BaBa" to her grandchildren, for suggestions on some items to add to the menu and thus the legend began. We have served literally millions of pones of cracklin' cornbread "hot off the griddle" to millions of people since much to the delight of our guests.

and many thanks John T.!
