For decades the Chapel Hill flagship operated as a sprawling gourmet emporium of coffee, confections, cheeses, and regional Carolina foods, drawing shoppers from across the Triangle and serving as a fixture of University Place. Its reputation as a &quot;foodie dream&quot; made it a regional institution well beyond its mail-order catalog.</p>https://www.catalogdb.com/post/a-taste-of-the-south/Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.catalogdb.com/post/a-taste-of-the-south/ <h2 id="a-taste-of-the-south-pecans-candy--gift-tins">A Taste of the South Pecans, Candy &amp; Gift Tins</h2> <p>A Taste of the South was a family-owned Columbia, South Carolina confectioner that built its identity around Southern sweets — most notably chocolate-covered pecans — sold as candies, gift tins, and gift baskets. As of a 2019 profile in the local press, the business was described as roughly 30 years old and led by president and chief executive Elie Abikhaled, placing its founding in the late 1980s. Its specialty was the kind of regional confection that traveled well as a gift: Southern pecans and candies packed into custom tins for holidays, corporate giving, and occasions.</p>
