Popeyes Has Removed Both The Cajun Rice And Green Bean Sides From Its Menu

It started with a tip from a concerned citizen. Thrown by an experience her husband had at a Popeyes drive-thru, a woman named Julie turned to Allison Robicelli at The Takeout for help. Julie’s allegation was shocking: Popeyes had discontinued their Cajun Rice side! “At least that’s what they told him at the drive-thru,” she said of her husband’s fateful fast-food interaction. Could it be? Would they really have discontinued one of their most popular sides?...

We’ve all been there. It’s already been a long day, and all that’s left between you and your bed is finishing that last load of laundry.

Why You Should Swap Your Bedding With The Seasons According To An Expert

While Floridians and Texans are likely rising to another sunny day—not as blistering as in summer but still pleasantly hot, those up in Virginia or Missouri may have woken up shivering…again.

You Need To Try Grated Boiled Eggs

I’m a firm believer that no one does hard boiled eggs like the South. Just as with many other traditions in the region, our devotion to the hard-boiled egg – whether it’s turned into egg salad or a deviled egg – cannot be beat. So you can imagine my shock when I saw a creator on TikTok grating a hard-boiled egg onto avocado toast. Of course, after watching the video I had to try out this new method myself to see what all the fuss was about....

Experience The Charm Of Louisville Kentucky

I knew about the horses and the hats. I had heard about the bourbon. Baseball bats were mentioned, almost without fail, whenever plans for an autumn trip to Louisville, Kentucky, came up in conversation. But I’d also listened as friends with no interest in any of the above gushed about their love for the Bluegrass State’s largest city, and I wanted to see what all that fuss was about: the food scene that punches above its weight, the abundance of art and historic architecture, the Olmsted-designed parks and distinctive neighborhoods bursting with character, and the complex culture that’s difficult to sum up in a sound bite....

A pair of equally cute and comfortable sneakers is an essential part of every Southerner’s wardrobe (heels and sandals just don’t make the cut sometimes).

Here S Why Soda Tastes So Much Better In Glass Bottles

While the folks at Coca-Cola claim that their drink tastes the same whether it’s served in a can or a two-liter plastic bottle, most people swear it just tastes better when it comes in an icy cold glass bottle. (Ideally from a gas station cooler after a hot day of fishing on Lake Pontchartrain.) While the good people of Coca-Cola make a good point that their secret formula doesn’t change whether you are taking a refreshing sip from a can or a bottle, turns out that the packaging itself might affect the taste....
