Regions at a Glance
The South
Biscuits & Barbecue
Slow-cooked barbecue, fried chicken and catfish, butter-smothered biscuits, corn bread,
grits and spicy Cajun-Creole dishes make the South a magnificent place to fill up a plate.
Country, Jazz & Blues
Nowhere on earth has a soundtrack as influential as the South. Head to music meccas for
the authentic experience: country in Nashville, blues in Memphis and big-band jazz in
New Orleans - with plenty of fusions and alternative sounds all across the region.
Southern Belles
Picture-book towns such as Charleston and Savannah have long captivated visitors with
their historic tree-lined streets, antebellum architecture and friendly down-home wel-
come. Other charmers include Chapel Hill, Oxford, Chattanooga and Natchez.
