In the South, breakfast is more than just the first meal of the day—it’s a ritual that’s all about home-cooked style meals, good coffee and great conversations. “It’s often the most consistent meal, whether it’s a quick stop on the way to work, a regular weekend routine or a place families and friends have been going for years,” says Therese Buchanan, home chef, food blogger and recipe developer at Tessie’s Table, who is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
