I guess I need to try a hoppin John. Beignets over gumbo is just stupid. Dessert freaks suck.
There's a lot more bad cornbread out there than good, totally agree.
My final four would be Tomato Pie, Fried Chicken, Deviled Eggs and Pimento Cheese.
assuming we're not paying attention to how the brackets were actually laid out (tomato pie and pimento cheese are both "classics," so they couldn't both make the final 4), then i agree with you on fried chicken, deviled eggs, and pimento cheese. i'd probably replace tomato pie with mac and cheese though. i LOVE mac and cheese.
btw, for anybody who hasn't noticed, it's the final 2 now. cornbread and beignets.
It's hard to really take the contest seriously with those glaring omissions.So you're telling me that Texas Pete, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Camel Lights and Moravian Sugar Cake didnt make the Final Four? What a joke.
beignets have never really struck me as 'southern' food. new orleans, yes. but you don't go into atlanta/charleston/savannah/wilmington (cities chosen arbitrarily) etc looking for a beignet place. you look for fried chicken, the best bbq, and the best fixings (mac and cheese, slaw, pimento cheese) for these foods. what a screwed up contest.

This is stupid. I bought a damn subscription to G&G based on the promise of this tourney and its ended up sucking ass. I hope the mag is better then this turned out to be.
Beignets are not a southern food. And cornbread? Clearly yankees are voting in this poll or the french.
