2016 Folklore Projects:
The SOOTs class of 2016 created a research project based off the difference between stereotypical and authentic southern food. The team studied the topic through an interview with Bridget Williams and shopping around King's Red and White Grocery Store in Durham, NC.

Fresh local produce go great in your American Southern dishes. The variety of produce and meat that King's offers not only look delicious, but in easy access to difficult foods, such as pig's feet. Along with the amazing variety, the Workers spray all the produce by hand to keep them fresh. This adds to the experience of American Southern cooking.
