      Southern living is all about good food! One article titled, "Travel and Culture: The Memphis Barbecue Bucket List" features a plethora of BBQ restaurants that are all located in Memphis. The pictures show the fronts of the restaurants, close up images of the food, and cooks at the restaurants. Another article features another southern state: Texas. The title is "A Texas-Size Thank-You." With a featured recipe of "Crispy Fried Turkey with Creole Spices." The article explains that this Thanksgiving meal was prepared to give thanks to local firefighters. There is an up close image the turkey and an image of the firefighters fixing a plate.
      The first article of this issue is for Chevy. A common theme is that car/truck ads are very prevalent in food magazines. The article is a two page spread which shows four different cars of theirs. This shows that not all my ads need to be food related. Another ad is for Karo Light Corn Syrup. The ad shows a large picture of a pecan pie and shows that what you need to make it is their product, describing it as a key ingredient. In large, swirly print it says "Moments made sweet" to draw your eyes to the pie.
