Garden & Gun - Oct/Nov 2011

[meatn3]

Yes, when this publication first came out the name put me off. It has turned into a wonderful chronicle of the South.

This edition is especially worth seeking out - its all about food. Articles range from The 50 Best Southern Foods to Pork-a-Palooza! John T. Edge contributes.

Guaranteed to make you daydream of an all you can eat road trip!

Very good issue. John T. Edge is a regular contributor.

i really like this mag, enough to haul around old issues when i move.

[BiscuitBoy]

no real firearms related content, online anyway...in print?

[Breezychow]

Yeah, there's always at least one article re: hunting.

Just to get y'all to see why this is a good place:

Excellent piece! Reading this, it is easy to see how it was that Southern literature inspired the Latin American magical realists. This has more than a dollop of the proverbial flying abuela.

In case anyone wants a peek.. I'm still getting through the articles.

I think the name is intended as an attention getter. I remember picking up my first copy in the grocery store, chuckling and curious as to what this was all about.

I like them too, though. The tone is very tuckahoe.

Per usual, you've sent me to google to understand a term unfamiliar to me.

I didn't know the term either, but thank you for making it easier on me Melanie!

To Naco - I guess the name of the publication does indicate a target audience - people that can afford to garden and shoot. They do have very good food writing amongst their other loves.

[Melanie Wong]

Now I'm waiting for Naco to tell us that the pronunciation rhymes with "Conetoe". :-)

"people that can afford to garden and shoot.".....thats what is great about The South ...you dont have to have money to either ;)

I started reading some of Garden & Gun before my epic trip to North Carolina last spring and have enjoyed it immensely.

Did you try Smokey's BBQ in Morrisville? it is down the street from my house. I eat there every Friday. I did not know they had een featured until I was behind a very sweet old couple that mentioned they were there since they had seen the article in G&G. The look on their faces when presented with pulled pork sandwiches for the first time was priceless.

[Melanie Wong]

Sorry to say that I did not make it to that spot. Please do post about it on the Southeast board if you haven't already.

I follow this magazine online through Facebook. Good writing on interesting topics on all things Southern. I especially love their food and drink articles. They have a fun outlook.
