For breakfast I have grits, because I'm a Southern girl!

We could say that people who eat grits, listen to country music, follow stock-car racing, support corporal punishment in the schools, hunt 'possum, go to Baptist churches and prefer bourbon to Scotch are likely to be Southerners.

I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

I'm a southern gentleman.

I'm a Southern girl, and I like to put a good face on everything.

I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it.

Southern food certainly carries a stereotype, but I feel like that's turning around a little. There are great Southern chefs who are finding ways to showcase our traditional recipes in deliciously healthy ways. For me, the key is to use fresh fruits and vegetables and cut some of the butter and fat without sacrificing the yumminess of the dish.

When I eat biscuits, I also eat grits.

Westerns are cool, man. I'm big on Westerns. I just love the grittiness.

I'm a Southern girl.
