BRINGING YOU THE BEST OF THE SOUTH
Welcome to Southern Potluck…where the best stories begin around the table.
From the bustling kitchens of beloved mom-and-pop restaurants to the handwritten recipes tucked away in church cookbooks, the South is built on stories that deserve to be told. This is where food meets community, where small-town news finds its voice, and where the traditions that make our region special come to life.
You’ll find local and regional news from across the South, travel pieces that take you off the beaten path, and food stories that go deeper than just ingredients. Whether it’s a new barbecue joint opening in a small Georgia town, a century-old family recipe finally shared beyond Sunday dinner, or the history behind a dish that’s been bringing people together for generations, Southern Potluck celebrates the people, places, and flavors that make the South home. Here, every story connects back to what matters most: the tables where we gather, the communities we build, and the traditions we pass down.

SOUTHERNERS ARE STORYTELLERS
2025
If you’ve spent any time in the South, you know that folks around here like to talk. And specifically, we like to tell stories. These stories might be embellished — just a little — but they’re always entertaining.
The South is full of colorful characters in all walks of life who have lived through interesting times, difficult periods in history, painful episodes, and also wonderful, idyllic moments.
Their stories deserve to be told.
food is the love language of the south
From church cookbooks to grandma’s recipe box, there are gems everywhere. Great Aunt Mable made the best banana pudding, and Uncle George smoked the best barbecue.
Southern cooks have often had to make do with paltry ingredients or bare cupboards. From the simplest pairings, Southern cooks have created dishes that linger in the memories of generations to follow.
