These all look so good!
Absolutely delicious looking…it’s making my mouth water! Funny, I was just telling my mom how much I loved the school cafeteria fried chicken when I was young. And all the old ladies loved it when I asked for seconds on vegetables. Ha! Good memories!
oh yeah…they all look so good! Particularly the chicken! 🙂
Your chicken looks so crunchy
All delicious!

Are there any old-style cafeterias left, or have they all turned into all-you-can-eat buffets?
They have them down here. Not many, but that’s where the idea came from. This would be a typical menu.
Love it when you do posts like this one! 😀
Greg, the buttermilk chicken link goes to the blackberry cobbler. May I have some chicken, please?
Fixed it! We’ve been having computer issues all weekend.
:). Brilliant!
Love it! Cornbread, greens, mac&cheese, cobbler . . . I would be a happy camper in that cafeteria.
Ha, my husband would think he died and went to heaven with this meal, you managed to hit all his favorites in one sitting!
My mom just told me last night her cheddar jalapeno cornbread muffins won first place in a local fair back in North Carolina. Now, this morning I wake up to read about yours. Some way, some how, I think the universe is trying to tell me something.
You can’t eat all that, you will never walk again! I need to learn about cornbread though, i know i know I have said that before, but i really do.. c
Oh with your buttermilk… Do it!
That chicken sure does look good. And so does the macaroni and cheese. I may have to fix all of these in one day. It will certainly be a glorious feast!
Oh my goodness, I’m gaining weight just looking at these pictures! That is some mighty fine crust on that fried chicken…you should be proud and feeling very southern. 🙂
Ah, Southern cooking…how I miss it so…
perfect Southern food. Just perfect.
Comfort all the way.
It doesn’t get much better than Southern comfort food. I wish they had cafeterias serving that sort of thing up here in Toronto – we were stuck with breaded chicken burgers and shoestring fries.
Mmmmm. I was drooling over that chicken until I saw the cobbler. I’ll just take all of those for dinner. 🙂
The chicken!
I want a giant plate of that mac and cheese. Topped with a piece of that fried chicken. With bits of that corn bread sprinkled on top.
Man, this is a great dinner! Those cobblers look fantastic, although I could have used those baking dishes.
I want everything in this post on one plate ! You know I have never had mac and cheese – I think I will have to try it, it looks so comforting. Then again, all the food in this post looks comforting 🙂
