John T. Edge travels around the region, introducing viewers to Southern tastemakers, food, culture and history.
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, EP4 "Shreveport"
Herby K's is a 1936 vintage beer garden and fry house; Lucky Palace serves wok-fried t-bones and pork egg foo young; both of these restaurants are survivors, like Shreveport itself.
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.
S7, EP6 "Upstate SC"
Singleton grew up in Greenwood, S.C. and now lives on the outskirts of Spartanburg with his partner Glenda Guion, a ceramicist; they make their living as artists, working in side-by-side backyard sheds, accompanied by their dog, Cleo.
