Lardcore is the term coined by Josh Ozersky of Time Magazine for the NEW style of Southern Cuisine. As Mr. Ozersky explains, there have been many attempts over the years to update traditional Southern favorites, but, finally, “…a slew of young chefs are taking modern Southern cooking to a new place, forming a movement in the crucible of high ideals, virtuoso technique and hardcore attitude. Call it lardcore. It’s meticulous, it’s ballsy and it doesn’t care what you think of it. In that, it’s very Southern.”
