Local Delicacy You Must Try

Whether you’re new to Corinth or a returning guest, you can’t go wrong with treating yourself to a slugburger. Contrary to what the name might suggest, the special ingredient isn’t slugs. Found throughout North Mississippi and parts of Tennessee and Alabama, the slugburger features a fried patty of meat and filler, like potato flakes, soybeans, or flour. This local staple is typically dressed in pickles, onions, and yellow mustard.

If you would like to satisfy your slugburger craving, we recommend stopping by the White Trolley Café or Borroum’s to get your fix.
