They're all Brown in the South!
“Brown in The South Supper Series” is a new series of collaborative dinners featuring chefs of Indian descent who have made the South their home. These dinners will showcase the culture, culinary heritage, and cooking styles of these celebrated chefs, while keeping the focus on southern ingredients and uniquely southern themes.
Vol. I: "Desi Diner" will place these chefs in the context of the Southern American Diner: masala meets "meat and three" in a blend of the soulful comfort foods of South Asia and the
Southeastern United States.
The Southern Foodways Alliance documents, studies, and explores the diverse food cultures of the changing American South. Their work sets a welcome table where all may consider our history and our future in a spirit of respect and reconciliation.
A member-supported organization based at the University of Mississippi’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture, the SFA collects oral histories, produces films and podcasts, publishes great writing, sponsors scholarships, mentors students, and stages events that serve as progressive and inclusive catalysts for the greater South.
