In the South, the food is outstanding. Down south, we eat to get full, and the people up north, they don't do that.

I'm from South Georgia, so my mom, she always cooked some dang good food when I was growing up.

I'm from the South - I love to eat, and that's why I have to exercise.

I had a restaurant in Georgia for a while, and I really miss feeding everybody.

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.

I'm a Southerner.

Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.

Any Southerner is spoiled when it comes to food.

I grew up partially around Stone Mountain, Georgia, and in that part of the country, there was always this aura of mythology and palpable sense of otherness about being a Southerner.
