Overview

TrueSouth is an SEC Network/ ESPN television show, conceived by executive producer Wright Thompson and host John T Edge, directed by Tim Horgan of Bluefoot Entertainment. We tell honest stories about the past, present, and future of the South. In each city, we focus on two restaurants that talk to each other in interesting ways. From barbecue joints to gas station ceviche cafes, we share the origins of these restaurants, the forces threatening them, and the belief systems that support them.

Overview

Western Tennessee is one of the cradles of American barbecue culture. Less than 20 miles separate two of the best old-guard joints in the South, BE Scott's BBQ in Lexington and Ramey's BBQ in Parsons. Here, the team witnesses how the Parker and Ramey families, working hard to do right by their inheritances, depend on each other to cook whole hogs over hickory coals.
