A note about serious food allergies
We could throw out a bunch of gratuitous “y'alls” and “reckons,” but it’s the flavor of the South, not the words, that count here. And in this dish, we're giving you flavor aplenty: pork chops are breaded and fried, crispy and juicy. Green beans are given a nice kick with red pepper flakes, and creamy mac and cheese close out a meal that we think can be described with one classic Southern phrase: comfort food.
