Local, Fresh, Sustainable – South City Kitchen

This month we were lucky enough to sit down and talk with Executive Chef Chip Ulbrich of South City Kitchen. We discussed everything from the challenges of running “Twin” restaurants in the Atlanta metro area, to local sourcing of ingredients, his suppliers, his Yankee past and his own personal Thanksgiving traditions. Chef Ulbrich also talked about why he thinks Southern food has become so popular and how place like South City Kitchen has survived in Atlanta to become local culinary institution. So enjoy part two of our culinary discovery with Chef Chip Ulbrich. Stay Hungry Y’all.

Southern Kitchen – Bourbon Pecan Pie

After getting this recipe correct I seriously considered renaming this website to Bourbon, Bacon & Butter : A Southerner’s Journey, but I digress. It’s recipes like these that Southerners should live and breath for. The spirit of the South is alive in these ingredients, from the soil presence in the pecans, to the sweet Kentucky water in the Bourbon. There is nothing like the unique texture and flavor and sweet Southern reminders of a Pecan Pie. A Thanksgiving tradition that we Southerners should all share a slice of. Here is our recipe for Bourbon Pecan Pie.

It seems to me everyone these days has turned around and published a cookbook, most of those books being just down right awful.
