Recipes from Tennessee

Recipes from Tennessee

Tennessee is most known for their hogs and cattle, but they also have large poultry and dairy farms.

Tennessee is also known for their country ham which is made from corn-fed pigs. One of the popular ways it's served is with red-eye gravy, made from coffee.

Since pork is a big industry for the state, it makes sense that BBQ is one of their top foods that they are famous for. Memphis style barbecue is pork that typically has a dry rub on it. Barbecue pork sandwiches are (of course) also popular and in Tennessee they top them with coleslaw.
