Out of curiosity, did any of you actually read the NYT article? Because I did, and it's actually quite complimentary of Southern cuisine, and talks about the food-to-table movement, and the Southern revival.
Today, purists believe, Southern cooking is too often represented by its worst elements: feedlot hams, cheap fried chicken and chains like Cracker Barrel.
“My mother didn’t cook like that, and my grandmother didn’t cook like that,” Mr. DeFelice said. “And if you want to come down here and talk about shrimp and grits, well, we’re tired of that, too. Southern cooking is a lot more interesting than people think.”
In New York City, they eat boiled animal tongues. In the South we use our tongues for licking our fingers.
Southerners eat buttermilk biscuits and sip frosty glasses of sweet tea. New Yorkers nosh bagels and drink seltzer water.
New Yorkers eat fermented soy and tuna tartar – while folks in Tennessee eat fried catfish – with tarter sauce.
It would be nice if all southern states could place an embargo on New York. This would include Texas with oil, let them power their cars with solar panels.
There is no city in the south that can compare to New York on a food level. New York has everything, plain and simple. The southern food is pretty simplistic and kinda repetitive. You have BBQ and other related things. New York City has that and more. It has everything from all cultures around the world. You do not have such a city in the south.
This is the third thread that will result in a red vs blue state flame war regarding an issue and it was started by a southern.
Seriously southerners are you guys trying to compensate for something?
Perhaps you have never heard of New Orleans...lauded throughout the world for its restaurants and distinctive cuisine... my home town...and very firmly located deep in the South.
It's the place where many of your top chefs were born, raised and trained. Whatever would you do without us sending our talent up to you?
.
Yup, as the article says, the chef's food that no-one could stomach in the south moved north because they knew the hipsters would love it...
That's why it's called "New Southern Cuisine" - has that certain hipster appeal does it not?
I dunno, I've been to Paula Deen's restaurant in Georgia and I loved it.
I'm also smart enough to read a link and know that Fox news is a complete joke, this is another example that it's full of hacks and is geared towards readers who have the intellectual capacity of a trog.

Not to get off-topic but the next after New Orleans?
2 - St Louis
3 - Baltimore
4 - Detroit
5 - Newark
6 - Oakland
7 - Washington DC
8 - Kansas City
9 - Buffalo
10 - Cincinnati
Not to stay off topic, but there seems to be a common denominator here.
