Not Entirely Average

Hello & Welcome!

My name is Jenny DeRemer, and I am the personality behind the posts. Not Entirely Average is a Southern food blog authored by me, a displaced Yankee who found herself ‘suddenly Southern’ 15 years ago. By way of recipe or restaurant review, Not Entirely Average explores and reveals the best the South has to offer. I love company and I am overjoyed you are looking around. So, c’mon y’all!
