Personalities like Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler are "Gone with the Wind" in today's South. Yes, they are an infamous part of our history - but, that was then. This is now.

In growing Southern cities like Native South's hometown, Atlanta, the population mirrors the 50/50 ratio of the company's two original founders - one deep-dish Southerner and one damn Yankee. Consequently, the cuisine of fine restaurants and backyard barbeques alike often begins with a customary Southern recipe but ends with delicious touches of

improvisation from today's immigrants who arrive daily from such foreign places as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas. Whether natives or transplants, we Southerners are proud of our heritage and our good taste. I have tried my very best to combine both in every product wearing the Native South logo. Our line of "Uptown, Down Home Food" is exactly that: uptown and down home. Native South has grown slowly, to ensure that each product is as good as it can be. Because, frankly, I do give a damn.
