SOUTH Kitchen & Jazz Parlor will host a new Regional Southern Menu Series through the summer. On one Wednesday of each month, Chef Paul Martin will create a prix-fixe menu that highlights a different region of the American South.

Beginning in June, the Regional Southern Menu Series will feature multi-course meals for $35 per person, with a special regional cocktail available. Each dish will also be offered a la carte, as additions to the dinner menu.

Here's what to look forward to in June, July and August at SOUTH:
