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
Jasper, AL, was, for the longest time, a coal mining town. Father-and-son stories from the Johnson and Evans families help the crew see what has changed and what has remained. Two restaurants serve as the lodestars: At Brown's Deli and Package Store they bake biscuits and sells half-pints. Across town at Bayou Fresh Seafood, Zhu Jianjun and his crew serve spicy tuna rolls and fried pickles.
