Share Discover Gullah-Geechee Cuisine on a Culinary Road Trip Through South Carolina and Georgia The area of the Southeast coast known as the Lowcountry is home to a unique food culture kept alive by the Gullah-Geechee community. Taste it for yourself on a leisurely roadtrip. By Michael W. Twitty February 01, 2021 For some visitors, it s the Spanish moss hanging from the trees. It s romantic, haunting even mystical, they say. Some travelers go to the Lowcountry, and to the neighboring Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia, for the historic sites the plantations and battlegrounds or to play a round on the golf courses that many have become. Others go for the food: shrimp and grits; red rice; crab boiled with corn; potatoes and sausage that form a concoction known as Frogmore stew. I went for the Gullah-Geechee people who created this food, for their stories and traditions.
