Cultural Differences

AKA Florida People Are Weird Olivia, Christian, and I are having a late lunch at Johnson's Barbeque. Being from NC and quite fond of bbq, I was hoping for some. The closest thing I could find on the menu is chopped pork shoulder. You get to pick two sides. No coleslaw. No hushpuppies. I ordered potato salad and fried okra. The waitress asked if I'd like ranch dressing for my okra. I have never heard of eating okra with ranch dressing and it sounds absolutely disgusting. I'm having a crisis here.
