Ah, Southern food. If it can be breaded and fried, it will be. If you can use massive amounts of butter, cream, mayo, and/or sugar, do it. Will it casserole? The answer usually is yes!
This list follows the extremely broad census definition of "the South." It includes items, brands, and chain restaurants that come from the South (grown, produced, invented, etc. there), as well dishes that started elsewhere but have been popularized, improved upon, or enthusiastically adopted by the South.
