Fall Food Travel: The Chitlin' Strut

It's getting to be the time of year when foodies start dreaming about what they're going to do with the Thanksgiving feast this year. But a very special set of foodies are more excited about the day after Turkey Day.

That's when Salley, South Carolina (pop. 410) hosts one of the most oddball fall food festivals of them all. The Chitlin' Strut celebrates all things chitlin', which, if you don't know, is a contraction of the word chitterlings, better known as fried pig intestines. Mmm...

But don't be turned off if celebrating 10,000 pounds of pig guts isn't your bucket of lard: The Chitlin' Strut has something for everyone, from the eardrum-shattering hawg-calling contest to the no-they're-not-kidding Chitlin' Strut Beauty Pageant.
