If you live in the south and are Caucasian or If you came from a rural setting or blue collar background or just hang out with a healthy amount of salt-of-the-earth peeps, then there are probably a few things that automatically get on your list of stuff you like. You can’t help it. It’s part of your Cultural DNA.
Today’s participant observation-based blog will take a look at that southern-savvy . Here are a few things that fit the cultural sphere of the proud southern tradition:
Pickup Trucks
Tennessee / Alabama and Georgia College football teams
Monster Trucks
NASCAR
Hunting (Deer)
“Hair” Bands (80’s “heavy metal” rock bands)
Boiled Peanuts
Sweet Tea
And
Chili Cook-offs…
As it so happens, it was Chili Cookoff adventure day for my wife and I. We are on our way home and it will be a long drive home but we will certainly not be short on Gas. 😉
Here are some pictures from the Milller Lite Stone Mountain Chili Cook Off:

sounds like great fun and I love Chili
I went to a Chili cook off once. It was awesome. Never tasted so much awesome chili in my life.
