JACKSON, Miss. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA) and The Catfish Institute (TCI)
recently partnered for the seventh annual Southern Foodways Symposium in
Oxford, Miss., October 30–November 1, 2009. The Southern Foodways
Alliance, which is headquartered at the Center for the Study of Southern
Culture at The University of Mississippi, features U.S. Farm-Raised
Catfish in several events throughout the year as part of its efforts to
celebrate Southern food and its impact on the culture of the region.
TCI sponsored the Friday night activities at Taylor Grocery with a
celebration of Southern food and music. R.J. Cooper and Duane Nutter,
two nationally recognized chefs from Washington, D.C., and Atlanta,
respectively, provided Catfish Parfait and Catfish Fritters, while Lynn
Hewlett and his staff at Taylor Grocery provided their famous
Southern-fried catfish with hushpuppies, french fries and cole slaw.
"We are proud to partner with the Southern Foodways Alliance," said
Roger Barlow, president of TCI. "The Symposium is a great place for
people to come and learn about Southern food, and providing
them Southern-fried catfish is a way to introduce them to U.S.
Farm-Raised Catfish, a food that is at the heart of our culture."
The three-day Symposium was attended by approximately 800 culinary
writers, researchers, chefs and other food lovers from across the nation.
