The Third Coast is a popular nickname for the states along the Gulf of Mexico as well as parts of Mexico and Cuba.

Ivan, Rita, Katrina and dozens of other storms plus the oil spill have taken their best shots at us but we keep bouncing back. The Deep South has a culinary tradition unmatched in the New World. Dixie is to America what Tuscany is to Italy, what Provence is to France, it is the nation's gastronomic heart and soul."
