While Lyons is speaking out against Deen's public racial controversy, she says, "I do get why [Paula Deen] wants to slather things in butter. A lot of Southern people are like that. I just get it."

From buttery pancakes at the no-fuss Clary's Café in Savannah's picturesque historic district to fried chicken topped with pecan syrup and traditional she-crab soup inside an 18th-century pirate's hideaway to bourbon on the roof of the chic Bohemian Hotel and a ghost tour in a hearse in between, we've got you covered.
