Special Issue Southern Living Favorites

204 Food Finds Across The Region

Our staff picks the South’s best flavors.

Every year, Southern Living eats its way across the South. As our staff explores the towns, hamlets, and cities of our region, we sample as many meals as we can, adding to our passions.

For the first time ever, we’ve asked all the folks here at the magazine to submit their favorite food finds-from the finest dishes in the most elegant bistros to the best inexpensive snacks at grab-in-go stores. To help hone our list, we did require a discriminating palate: Each person could only choose one place in a single location for each category. The result is a wonderful melange of flavors and locales. Don’t find your favorite here?

Visit our Web site at www.southernliving.com/features to add yours to our list. So belly up to the magazine, and let’s go tasting.

“You’ll want to kiss the pig after trying the ribs at this joint.”

#158 Daddy Joe’s Beach House BBQ & Grill, Gaffney, S.C.

Special Issue Southern Living Favorites BBQ Across The South

From eastern South Carolina, a clear vinegar sauce flows north toward Manning, where you’ll find David McCabe’s Bar-B-Que. Charles loves David’s sauce so much he advises bringing an ice chest and empty jars.

Also famous for sauces, DADDY JOE’S BEACH HOUSE BBQ in Gaffney, a favorite of Associate Travel Editor Cassandra Vanhooser.
