  1. Being agricultural wizards.

  1. Knowing that shrimp and grits should be its own food group.

  1. Understanding exactly where the heck Brunsick Stew originated.

Flickr BEV Norton There’s always a huge debate on where this stew originated. While some believe it was Virginia, others are adamant it was Georgia. If ever you want to see a fight, tell a Georgian you’ve had the best Brunswick Stew in the state of Virginia.

  1. Recognizing that frying foods should be an Olympic Sport.

  1. Keeping things as natural as possible.

  1. The first few flakes of snow.

  1. Never letting a few mosquitoes get them down.

  1. The fact that Georgia will always be a beach state.
