Chef Regina Charboneau: Natchez Native and ‘The Queen of Biscuits’
SUMMARY: Since 2008, Natchez, Mississippi, has proudly held the title of Biscuit Capital of the World, largely due to Chef Regina Charboneau. A Natchez native, Charboneau left for education and culinary adventures, including cooking in Alaska and attending cooking school in Paris. She eventually settled in San Francisco, opened the first Biscuits and Blues, and later returned to Natchez. Charboneau's biscuits, renowned for their fluffiness and flakiness, earned her the title Queen of Biscuits. The town's biscuit fame even attracted IHOP for a promotional event in 2023. Charboneau now shares her expertise through cooking classes at her school.

Deer Fly Season on the Coast – Oh My!
SUMMARY: In coastal Mississippi, residents brace themselves each year for Deer Fly season in May, following the Sand Fly season in March. These pests, known for their buzzing and biting, are a significant nuisance, targeting exposed skin, particularly around the head due to their attraction to heat. Deer flies, which females require blood, thrive in the area's marshlands, feasting on various mammals, including humans. Despite the lack of effective chemical deterrents, residents employ creative strategies like using insect nets or sticky traps to combat these flies. These efforts, while somewhat effective, also inadvertently provide a form of exercise and a shared experience for the community, humorously dubbed the “Deer Fly dance”.
