If you're going to be anywhere near South Pittsburg, TN on April 31st or May 1st, make your way to the 15th annual National Cornbread Festival. South Pittsburg is home to Lodge, the only company still making cast iron cookware right here in these United of States. Once you're there, you can buy yourself a dutch oven to make, well, cornbread in, and then pay $2 to enjoy samples from the National Cornbread Cookoff. Because what's better than cornbread made in cast iron? Nothing, that's what. Watch a video of how Lodge cookware is made here and then watch an old video about the festival here.
