“I am a man of the South and a lover of all that is Southern. This is my space to share with you my musings, rants, opinions, travel tales, restaurant experiences, stories of people and places (some real, many imagined) and a few of my favorite recipes. I hope you enjoy visiting them as much as I have enjoyed living them!”

– Tom
