in the kitchen with: hugh acheson’s southern supper – Design*Sponge

After reader’s response to last week’s traditional Southern recipe with Top Chef favorite Kevin Gillespie, Grace and I could not resist offering a complete Southern meal to you.  This week’s menu comes from Athens, Georgia-based chef Hugh Acheson.  We were very lucky that photographer Rinne Allen reached out to us to offer to photograph the entire festivity so not only do you have three recipes (for fried chicken, cornbread, and Chess pies), but you have lovely photography to make you feel as though you were actually there.   Hugh transmits such familiarity and enthusiasm for his style of food and the pure enjoyment of eating, I so look forward to his book coming out next year   -Kristina
