The Southern Foodways Alliance documents, studies, and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the American South.  A member-supported non-profit, based at the University of Mississippi, they stage symposia on food culture, produce documentary films, collect oral histories, and publish compendiums of great writing.  In the Atlantic Monthly, Corby Kummer dubbed the SFA “this country’s most intellectually engaged (and probably most engaging) food society.”
