Zo and I were having a Hillbilly party and let me tell you... It is hard to actually figure out what a hillbilly was. We noticed that we wanted to group the classification of hillbillies, rednecks and white trash all together. But they are all very different once we really sat down and put some thought into it. We came to the conclusions that hillbilly's are just regular people that live in the middle of nowhere. I tried to think of what a hillbilly would use to cook with and it has to be easily accessible goods that can be picked up in most any convenience store or made at home with a garden and a little live stock. I mapped out an idea and went to it! Enjoy my take on Hillbilly Cuisine!
