Southern Food and Fun is a family-run Southern recipe site that helps home cooks keep Southern food traditions alive with confidence. Lucy Brewer founded it in 2010, and the recipes carry on what she learned cooking in the kitchen with her Granny, adapted for the way people cook and gather today. Alongside the Southern classics, you’ll find quick weeknight suppers and the occasional dish from beyond the South.
We also travel often, and we share the places we stay and the food we find along the way through photos and recaps.
Our readers are savvy, discerning home cooks, and we only promote products and brands we use and believe in wholeheartedly.
A family affair
Lucy is the primary content creator and the voice behind every recipe on the site. She is a fourth-generation Southern cook with a master’s degree in professional writing, and her food articles for FoodDrinkLife.com are syndicated through the AP wire.
Her oldest, daughter Malorie, is a mom of four who tests recipes and products with four kids at the table, so everything gets a real-life tryout before we recommend it. Her son Brian Harris, a dad of two, is our grillmaster and resident Big Green Egg expert, and he tests products too. Her younger son, Casey Harris, tests recipes and creates the reels you see on our social channels.
We’d love to work with you if you have something that will benefit our readers. Our media kit is available on request.

Brand disclosures
Brand partnerships, product reviews, and giveaways run on our social media channels. We always tell our followers the nature of our partnerships with brands. Every partnered post carries a disclosure, per FTC guidelines, and tells followers whether money or product was exchanged. Honesty and transparency are top priorities when we work with brands, and our readers know that compensation never buys a positive review. We love promoting brands, products, and services that are a good fit for our readers.
