With January as Culinary Month in Mississippi, MDA's Tourism Division is kicking off 2012 with a month-long celebration of Mississippi food, restaurants, chefs, recipes, specialty items and plenty of flavor along a Culinary Trail that will satisfy anyone's appetite to discover the authentic Mississippi.
The Mississippi Culinary Trail features an online, interactive map with background information, stories and details about eateries, restaurants and other food-related sites in every region of the state. The trail highlights those singular local attractions travelers want to find but often don't know where to search for them. Visitors – as well as state residents – can find local favorites in communities throughout Mississippi and enjoy the state's bounty of farm-fresh produce and fresh Gulf seafood as well as traditions like hot tamales, catfish, barbeque and other Mississippi favorites.
