Rooted in a history and culture as rich and complex as the fertile alluvial soil of the Mississippi Delta, this region gave birth to the blues, America’s original musical art form, and is the final resting place of legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. It also inspired a culinary tradition that rose from humble beginnings to comfort the soul while delighting the most discerning palates. Today, it draws artists, musicians, filmmakers, craftsmen, chefs, writers, history buffs, outdoorsmen, and adventurers of every kind, all connected by a living, breathing expression of authentic Southern hospitality.
