Southern cuisine varies greatly by region, from the Cajun and creole dishes of Louisiana to the bags of granulated sugar served at Disney World. Sample the South with this Groupon.

Big Mama’s Rib Shack & Soul Food
Some chefs attend faraway schools or universities to learn how to cook, but for Emma Sue Miller McWhorter-the inspiration behind Big Mama’s Rib Shack & Soul Foods-it was natural. Though she’s gone to the big kitchen in the sky, a little bit of her soul can be seen today in the restaurant’s hot links, saucy ribs, and fried chicken, which the Los Angeles Times called “beautifully cooked; moist, flavorful.”
Bubbling pots of gumbo and jambalaya fill the eatery’s air with rich smells and fill mouths with equally rich flavors when paired with sides such as corn bread, fried okra, or mac ‘n’ cheese served in the southern tradition of adding dairy to everything. Guests can enjoy live music on Tuesday nights, which ranges in musical style from jazz and R&B to soul and rock ‘n’ roll.
