Much is made over the banality and sometimes outright weirdness of the food we enjoy here in the Ozarks. High brow East Coast folk cast aspersions on our penchant for Jell-O and Ranch dressing. And while I’m not about to start making the case for Tomato Aspic, some of our regional cuisine is downright tasty.
I’m an ardent foodie and I delight in a well-plated meal, but I also appreciate real simple food. Not just anyone can fry chicken right and pie crust is an art. Macaroni and cheese? The real stuff doesn’t come from a blue box.
The beauty of our country is the diverse tapestry of people and experiences. From dialect to diet each region of the U.S. has loads of things to celebrate … and occasionally make fun of. The hope of this here little site is to show to the good side of the casserole and the gelatin dessert and to show off some of our lesser known delicacies.
Welcome to the Hillbilly Gourmet. Y’all come back and tell a friend while you’re at it.
