Jump into the car with Boyce Upholt as he traverses the No Man’s Land between Louisiana and Texas, his dog in tow, or join Beth D’Addono as she eats her leisurely way along the coastline of Mississippi. Our associate editor, Hannah Lee Leidy, went in search of history and sustainable hospitality in coastal Virginia, while managing editor Emily Havener got to know some of Kentucky’s most exciting newcomers to the bourbon scene.
To say our team loved working on this issue is an understatement—yes, there was our time on the road, but we were also getting tips from nearly everyone (and their alumni friends) to create our guide to college tailgating. Meanwhile, our look at the South’s new and renovated hotels was wholeheartedly a team effort. More than anything, our editors and contributors loved striking out in search of adventurous eating and drinking and delivering their dispatches directly to you.
We hope you’ll dog-ear this issue along your own journey—and maybe even get a little lost along the way.
