Mammy's Cupboard

Natchez, MS

A restaurant built in the form of a giant skirted woman, one of Mississippi's most recognizable pieces of vernacular roadside architecture. The imagery and name reflect a racist "mammy" stereotype from the Jim Crow era, so the stop is best presented with that historical context rather than as neutral kitsch.
