As in Soul Food Home Cooking Yes......
Problem with your Judgment of you believing Maryland not being southern is that you have not Traveled to Most parts of Maryland and your judging based on Urbanism of DC and Baltimore....
Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, and Houston are Very Urban Just like the Baltimore-Washington area..........

There are Waffle House's in Pennsylvania more than Maryland actually
Waffle House Restaurant Locator (http://www.wafflehouse.com/welcome/component/content/article/38/79-waffle-house-restaurant-locator - broken link)
I actually find many parts of PA outside of Philly metro, more similart to Virginia than MD...Amish country and much of central PA has much more of a country laid back feel, which people in this threads continue to confuse with southern.
I've never seen a confederate flag in 26 years of living in MD unless it's someone riding up 95 with Alabama plates on the way to New York for sightseeing, so we can throw that thought away.

And to add to what you're saying, you can find Soul Food in Brooklyn NYC.

When you say MOST PARTS OF MARYLAND what parts exactly to you mean?
Technically the Mason-Dixon line was a property dispute between MD and PA. Also, if u extend the mason-dixon line further east & west, 25% of NJ would be in south, and part of W.VA would be northern.
I didnt say anything about Soul Food cooking, that's a black thing. Where ever there is black people, there is soul food....so your soul food statement is pointless.
As far as accents go, visit the Baltimore area, Philly area & south NJ....same accent. DC's accent, thought different from Baltimore's, is Not southern. Western MD = central western PA. I cant really speak about the eastern shore.
People in Chicago have some southern accents but it doesn't make it southern. Accents, soul food and sweet tea are a stupid way to determine if a city is southern. Steve Harvey sounds like he just stepped off a cotton truck in Alabama but he is from Cleveland. Dave Chapelle has a little southern twang going on but Martin Lawrence doesn't. They both are from DC. The DC accent is more mid atlantic with some northeast influences and a small southern twang. I never heard anyone say Wale had a southern accent.

Only when he says "Murrlyn"
