From their website: "Southern Rail is a nostalgic gastronomical journey inspired by the “flavors from the American south”. Regional influences stretch from the coastal Carolinas of “low‐country” cooking through the soulful belt of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. A sense of place is unveiled by the famous New Orleans cuisine so driven by Cajun and Creole cultures. The Gulf coast bounty of seafood and the slow‐smoke barbeque of south Texas all find a home on our menus."
