Join the chitterling circuit.

Chitlin's (or chitterlings) are pork intestines, usually cooked with a breading and fried until crisp in bacon fat.
The "Chitlin' Circuit" is the collective name given to the string of performance venues throughout the eastern and southern United States that were safe and acceptable for African American musicians, comedians, and other entertainers to perform in during the age of racial segregation in the United States (...). The name derives from the soul food item chitterlings (stewed pig intestines) and is also a play on the term "Borscht Belt" which referred to a group of venues (primarily in New York's Catskill Mountains) popular with Jewish performers during the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
