A taste of the South coming soon to freezers

SUFFOLK, Va. -- A new company aims to fill the void of soul food and Southern cuisine in store freezers with a new frozen food line.

"I'm very excited to bring Mouth Meets South to consumers who love delicious soul food and Southern cuisine," said Howard. "Mouth Meets South honors the history of these delectable, savory, satisfying foods, passed down for generations, and representing culture, tradition, comfort, and home."

Americans consume a lot of frozen food. On average, people eat 12 frozen meals a month, making frozen foods a $9 billion industry with tremendous growth potential. While a typical freezer section has options galore, it lacks something quintessentially American: Southern food.

Mouth Meets South says it will combine farm-fresh ingredients with the latest in flash-freezing technology to ensure taste and nutritional value are locked in. The company will also be competitively priced and, above all, convenient for busy families who yearn for a way to bring everyone together at the table. 

"A lot of love goes into this cuisine, but often a lot of time and preparation," Howard said. "Mouth Meets South provides the convenience of heating and eating our microwaveable meals within minutes, without compromising quality."
