We moved from the upper midwest and there are food-items there we can't find duplicates of here (unless we make it ourselves). I don't understand "food snobs" who come, can't find then complain because it's not like where they once lived.
It's not even decent "south." I haven't yet seen a smoker with a whole pig in it at any restaurant parking lot down here. Or Creole or Cajun - those are as "south" as it gets. I'm not a food snob. But when I want ethnic food, I want the real deal.
