Gary, we've talked about this before. I was laughing because it's very
hard to find hush puppies on a restaurant menu around here. It seems
odd to me, because hush puppies are ubiquitous to the South. I simply
don't see them on restaurant menus in this area. (I'd have to go to
Savannah to find a Long John Silver's.)

I could always make my own; BTDT. It's a simple cornmeal batter (akin
to making cornbread, don'tcha know) with minced onions (I always added a
pinch of garlic powder and some cayenne pepper.)

The problem is hush puppies require deep frying which is messy. Then
where to store the used oil until next time around? I'd rather let a
restaurant handle deep frying.

Maryland Fried Chicken in Beaufort seems to have everything on the menu
but the kitchen sink... and hush puppies.
