Table of ContentsReviewsThis engaging contribution to the growing body of work in critical southern food studies takes readers on a tour of iconic southern eating establishments, offering vicarious tastes of regional foods alongside illuminating rhetorical analysis. The authors demonstrate that food can be used to tell powerful stories about who we are and who we wish we could be. This scholarly take on southern food and identity construction is served alongside hearty portions of optimism. The authors offer a compelling vision for regional progress, speculating that communion around the table might help heal past wounds and build a more equitable future.
