There are few places you can go to get Okra, greens, pinto beans and fried apples. To each their own. I remember grandma being one heck of a cook.
Well, that's one of my big complaints with Cracker Barrel. They use margarine. Real southern cooking should be bacon grease and butter! that's what they used in the dining halls when I went to the University of Georgia, which greatly contributed to my Freshman 15.
