You're nowhere near the mid-south. That's a tri-state area comprised
of west TN, northeast Mississppi, and eastern Arkansas.

The first time I heard about Frogmore Stew was right after my parents
moved down here and their mailing address was "Frogmore". They're not
the ones who told me. It was written up in Food & Wine magazine. One
of my brothers had a subscription. The first time I visited my folks
after they moved here they took me to a restaurant called 'Steamer'.
The tables have buckets in the middle for discarding the remnants of the
lowcountry boil. I've posted about Frogmore Stew before. In fact, I
think I may have mentioned it when Dave first posted about going on this
kayak trip to Tybee Island.
