make any kind of move that requires forethought and planning, is
pasta. A bowl of rotini, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of Kosher
salt, and some romano cheese--if I've got a block sitting around
and am up...

Jack Thompson
For much of the year, South Pittsburg, Tenn., is a quiet, close-knit community of just 3,300 people. But come the last weekend in April, a crowd of more than 40,000 descends upon the town. The big draw? The National Cornbread Festival, a weekend-long celebration complete with live music, a midway, farm animals, and the famous National Cornbread Cook-off, where 10 finalists compete for the top prize: $5,000 and a Brown FiveStar Range.
Jenny Flake of Gilbert, Ariz., won the 2007 Cook-off with Chicken Taco Cornbread wedges with Ranchero Cilantro Drizzle. Get her recipe for this delicious dish here. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog
