Airdate: 2024-Nov-19

Episode summary:

The seventh season of Emmy Award-winning TrueSouth Presented by YellaWood wraps up with the crew's annual behind-the-scenes episode – showcasing the 1,000-plus mile road trip across the SEC footprint, beginning in Oklahoma City, Okla. and ending in Spartanburg, S.C.Traveling, the crew talked about what it means to live and work in the South and marked changes in TrueSouth restaurants they've come to know and love: Helen Turner (season three) of Brownsville, Tenn., the hardest working woman in barbecue, a veteran of four decades in the pits, put down her cleaver back in August. Hunter Evans (season five) from Elvie's in Jackson, Miss., renovated the Mayflower, the beloved Greek seafood restaurant downtown. We lost Carol McKinney (season four) of the Iowa Buffet in St. Louis this year. Ask the crew to name their favorite bar and no one will agree. Ask them to name their favorite barkeep, though, and it's unanimous.
