I can see picking up a t***** or murdering a hobo or something, but NASCAR?
Edit: I would like to apologize for using this word. It was inappropriate and a terrible word. I should not have done so.

Grits are amazing. Especially with shrimp and bacon.
You can get a good pizza anywhere in Florida. Not sure about Mississippi or other places. I wouldn't try to eat pizza there.

I hate grits and that's one item. NY pizza is greasy as hell and as limp as a 85 year old man. I just had good pizza in Washington DC. I can't remember the name of the place, but it was delicious. You can get good and bad pizza anywhere. The secret to good pizza is the crust and the sauce. All the rest of the toppings are about the same anywhere. I love southern cooking, such as fried chicken, ham (both country and sweet), barbecue, brisket, greens, crawfish, corn bread, pecan pie, you can't get good biscuits and gravy anywhere but in the south, catfish, hush puppies, fried okra, cobbler, red beans and rice, chicken fried steak, Jambalaya, fried green tomatoes, bread pudding, gumbo, banana pudding, sweet tea, bourbon (wink), chicken and dumplings, Ky Hot Brown, Burgoo, just to name a few.

Exactly. And you can't disagree with Stevens because if you do it means you hate black people #history

Seriously thinking about it.

You can get all that stuff just about anywhere in the country that has a sizeable population; particularly African American. There are very few regional specialties that are solely regional anymore.

You can get pizza in Mississippi, too, but it isn't as good as in NY or Chicago. The versions of those that you get outside of the south arent even close to as good.

Yeah, you Ny'ers like to leave the hoses at home and just shoot them 41 times or sodomize them with broom handles.

Probably not. I'm having dinner with people who were born on five different continents tonight. Lots of diversity at your table this evening?

Also, one of them is a Nigerian politician. I will let you know if I need a bank account number to save his uncle's fortune.

Yep. I remember when we were forced (at near rifle point) to desegregate our public schools in the 1950s and 1960s. Oh wait...
And it's pretty embarrassing that we have a school and theater named after our own Roger Taney.
Check that. I mean Earl Warren.

Pro tip: everywhere sucks if you just want to point out faults about it in an FFA rant style. Anyone who can't look at a thread like this (be it anti-south, anti-california, anti Jersey, whatever) and just laugh about it is on some very srsd business.
The south is generally pretty nice as long as you stay within 25 miles of major cities.

Meh....I don't buy that wholeheartedly. Yes...the overall average consistency is probably higher as there's a higher concentration of people who cook like minded.....but I'm not buying that there's no way people can't learn to cook Southern or Southerners can't transplant and set up shop elsewhere.

I've lived on the West Coast, in the Northeast, the Midwest and the South. All have their pros and cons. If I was independently wealthy and didn't have to work or worry about cost of living and taxes, I'd have a place in Manhattan and a place on the water in Orange County, CA. But as a normal stiff who has to commute to a regular job and raise a family, I'm happy with my decision to do that in Texas.

That idea is overrated...and believe me, I hear it all the time from the Philly jabronis who swear that you can't get a good Cheesesteak South of Pattison Ave. in Philadelphia.

Kids raised in Manhattan are some of the most screwed up kids on the planet. If I were single, no question. Otherwise, hell no.

I would choose most of those states over mine if it was a real possibility. Frankly I could love in the Carolinas and be perfectly content in a heartbeat.
