John T. Edge travels around the region, introducing viewers to Southern tastemakers, food, culture and history as they intertwine in the beautiful yet complex South.
S1, EP1 "Birmingham"
Greek natives and their kin built the Birmingham restaurant scene, from barbecue joints to hot dog stands to steakhouses; Bright Star, founded in 1907, is the old guard and Johnny's is the new guard Greek restaurant.
S1, EP2 "Athens"
Pablo Rivadeneyra rotisserie cooks lime-marinated chicken; Larry and Betty Jean Scott work a smoke-belching pit at Scott's BBQ; in these two places, we get a glimpse of the hard work that defines life in the South.
S2, EP1 "New Orleans"
If you're a local of New Orleans, you might recognize West African borrowings in music and food but Italian New Orleans has been largely forgotten.
S2, EP2 "Beaumont"
This is a story about a scrappy onetime oil boomtown, where cooks make the most of scraps and the oppressiveness of brisket and how popular narratives have obscured two Gulf Coast dishes that manage to hang on.
S8, EP3 "Jacksonville, FL"
Across generations, people have flocked to this Atlantic Coast city to follow their dreams; farm workers from south Georgia arrived here in search of jobs as longshoremen; immigrants from Lebanon came in search of religious and economic freedom.
S8, EP2 "Charleston, S.C."
The subject of endless magazine listicles and breathless influencer reels; is it possible to sidestep the algorithms and really see and hear and taste Charleston?
S8, EP1 "Clinton, Ga."
The small Georgia town where host and writer John T. Edge was born; during season three, Edge began writing a memoir; "House of Smoke," which publishes this September, brought Edge back to reconnect with the places and people that made him.
