Tell me about it, I just got back. You can't get a decent portion of fresh vegetables in most restaurants.
You get fried triggersish or flounder or oysters, with a giant side of fries and a little cup of coleslaw that tastes like sugar.
I went to the grocery to make a vegetable stir fry dinner and a lady asked me what to do with the ginger I purchased. She had no idea what to do with it.
You know how hard it is to locate a decent wok in the low country?
Basically you have to do a saturated fat detox, day for day, after you leave the place.
Having lived in 4 countries and visited 25 or so more, I can attest to the fact that the South has the best food in the world.
If you don’t like our food, don’t come here.

I have eaten at 4 star Michelin rated restaurants in Lyon France, and 10 course ones stateside and can attest that southern food is equivalent
to pig slop presentation in comparison to fine dining experiences with paired wines. But when I do feel like pigging out, yes, southern food has its greasy charm.
Still, more of an apples oranges thing. The French laundry (where I've dined several times) versus the Dixie Pig is not really a debate.
I'd rather drop 20 bucks on a meal than $2000, but there is no comparison to the fare, either.
what's a southerner? Damn near everyone down here is from somewhere else

That's why we rarely go out. And for people on a budget, it's a budget killer.
Much cheaper and healthier to eat at home. One can fix high protein, low fat meals very quickly and cook in advance for the week if you get busy.
I'll make large batches of burritos and freeze them. In a hurry? Pull them and pop them in a microwave. Instant meal.
