I have a new favorite magazine. My brother bought my dad and I an annual subscription to Gun & Garden Magazine. This magazine is the definition of southern living. So far i've received three copies. The first contained an article on the best Oyster shacks in the south. The second an article on southern culture invading northern cities such as NYC. And the most recent, "An insiders guide to Pie shops, Barbecue joints, Beaches, Catfish Shacks, and other summer essentials." I mean honestly... Could you find better content for a magazine? I've read about southern architecture, where Willie Nelson buys boots, where I can find the best cufflinks, bourbon, and mother-of-pearl handled pocket knives. Even an article on Jimmy Buffet's love for shrimp and fried green tomatoes (I can't wait to cook these by the way...) Over all I give this magazine a 9 out of 10. Its only because I get a little jealous of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. Arkansas gets coverage, but not nearly as much as i'd like. What can i say, I'm a homer... I did see an article on why Eureka Springs is a hidden gem of the south. I agree.
