    southern appetizers

    Appetizers are my favorite part of a meal- dips and spreads, small plates, finger foods… In my opinion, they are the best to cook and to eat! The appetizer you serve also sets the tone for the whole party or meal, so you want to be sure you pick one that compliments the other food being served.

    If your main dish is inspired by the South, this is the list for you… our collection of 20 different Southern appetizers are exactly what you need to get those appetites warmed up before a good ole Southern meal.

    And… if you love southern food you’ll want to read this.

      Sounds like the restaurant needs a little time,but is getting there. I find appetizers to be the best dish in a lot of restaurants. In fact, Mrs KR and I will often order just a couple of appetizers apiece (with cocktails; and a dessert we”ll split) and that”s enough. Good review – thanks. http://wasabimon.com/
