The food scene in the American South is having a moment, and it's one we're celebrating. If a trip isn't on the docket, the best of their table is more than happy to come to you. (You know what they say about irresistible Southern charm.) From flaky Charleston buttermilk biscuits and seasoned cast-iron skillets to chef Sean Brock's ingredient-driven recipes and sweet tea cocktail syrup, these Southern goods and foods will be a welcome addition to any table.

Authentic North Carolina barbecue sandwiches can be yours without the hassle of roasting a whole hog. Each kit comes with traditional Eastern North Carolina whole-hog barbecue, chopped cabbage (for Carolina slaw), buns, and Elizabeth Karmel's signature Carolina Cue vinegar sauce.
