Can you explain "in the style of Dixie" for us folks who aren't familiar with that term? 

Absolutley. As far as cooking, "In the style of Dixie" can mean a few different things. First, the recipe or technique was invented in one of the true 11 southern states. It can also mean that the recipe and/or method is prevalent in the south. Southern examples- Sweet tea, cornbread with no sugar, deep fried instead of pan fried, the use of lard or suet instead of olive oil. For the most part, it means sticking to the old southern ways of cooking that have wained in popularity in favor of more healthy or vogue methods that have become common place. While there are certainly people outside of the south that deep fry or use lard, it's far more prevalent down here. Another great example of Dixie style is when it comes to browning meat. Most folks simply drop it in a pan and brown it. We almost always use a coating for flavoring. Even when just browning the meat. The heavy use of roux and dark gravy is certainly a southern tradition as well. For my part, "in the style of Dixie" means doing it the way my grandfather and great grandfather done it decades ago. A time honor tradition handed down generation after generation.
