We have Cracker Barrel’s out here. That’s southern style food right? Hate all you want but I love that place. Grits? Not so much.

How weird is it that the Waffle House talk makes me want to do a road trip as much as all the gorgeous Arizona pics in this thread?

I’ve seen enough of your threads with the food porn shots to know that’s not weird at all! I’d love to go back to Arkansas but that drive across northern Texas and that other state (I can’t remember which one right now) was brutal. F it brownski, I’ll meet ya in New Mexico for chili

Local medicine men have been known to use the chairlift for ceremonial purposes up top.

The ski area doesn’t hinder their practices or beliefs in any way and it benefits this town massively.

Apaches ski fast.

Skiers can experience this stunning part of the state from 11,500 feet, with enough terrain to entice beginner skiers and experts alike. New Mexico...

Kinda suprised the Native NY folks haven’t got into running ski areas in The UpState.
The Oneidas have an amazing setup for golfing+gambling and are now developing an area on their namesake lake.
They crossed over the land bridge when it was frozen so snow travel is part of their nature.

I lived in the south for 8 years. There's no such thing as good grits.

There is good polenta, though, with the core ingredient being corn meal.

Polenta & grits are starch related foods.
Paired with nice tasty fats and/or gravies then y’all have some good eats.

Haven't made any polenta in a while. Thanks for the reminder.

There’s a Tyrol Club in Solvay NY serving monthly polenta dinners (except in the warmer months).

Polenta Dinner: How a grand Tyrolean tradition lives on in Solvay (video)

Polenta is simple cornmeal, water and salt, but it's the staple of Italy's northern provinces.

Polenta was considered as peasant food by some.
Now folks figure it’s gourmet.
