And then there were four. Welcome back to the 2014 Southern Weddings Mason-Dixon Madness Tourney! We have whittled away from 64 and now have our top main, side, sweet and drink!
I have been lucky enough to visit the original Krispy Kreme location on a number of occasions, because my sweet daddy grew up in the Winston-Salem area. I admit that I am a sucker for that Hot’n Now sign, but never, ever did I think that peach cobbler would miss out on the title of best sweet in the South.
This cobbler/donut vote was the closest, and with only a handful–ahem, seven–votes separating these two delicacies, I am still in a bit of denial. We are also parting ways with Lisa’s beloved mac and cheese AND Nicole’s champion pick, sweet tea. Yes, the bubbly cherry beverage from Salisbury, NC is moving on to the Final Four!
Here’s how our bracket is looking now:
I guess your weekend meal is set: a big plate of BBQ with a biscuit, washed down with a cold glass of Cheerwine and finished with a Krispy Kreme donut. Then, place your bets and pick your favorites for the championship match-up.
Good luck! (RSS readers, click through to access the poll.)
P.S. I am counting down the days until peach season so I can make a big ol’ batch of homemade peach cobbler. Y’all are invited, just bring the sweet tea ;)
Now that all of our office brackets are pretty much shot, I can’t wait to see who’s named the surprise champ!
Well, I just won a bet against my sweetheart, BBQ for the win. He was sure the champ would be Fried Chicken, looks like I get to pick the movie next time :)
I can’t believe my beloved sweet tea didn’t make it into the final four! I’ll be rooting for biscuits or Krispy Kreme donuts from here on out, although I can’t possibly choose between them!!
CHEERWINE and Bisquits
Good Stuff
Nothing like Cheerwine while playing softball and then BBQ all night and more Cheerwine. It does not get any better.
