S9 E3 Buford Highway, Atlanta

本集简介

Havana Sandwich Shop, the Cuban restaurant opened by Benedit family in 1976, was arguably the first international restaurant on Buford Highway, the now seven-lane stretch of suburban road that runs north out of Atlanta. Other immigrants from across the world followed. By the later years of the 20th century, Buford Highway became the preferred on ramp for immigrants to the South who want to start and grow businesses. Today restaurants like Kamayan, a Filipino spot in Asian Plaza owned by Mia "Amormia" Orino and Carolo Gan, and Gula, a family-owned Indonesia sweet café across the street in Pinetree Plaza, showcase the results of their belief in what American has long promised.

Arkansas Flyway

Prairie County, Ark., home to the small towns of Hazen and DeValls Bluff, is one of our nation's duck hunting capitals. Greenbriar Lodge, a storied duck camp there, sets a standard for habitat conversation and hospitality. Hospitality is also the work of Stanley Young and his wife Becky, the first couple of Hazen. Along with their children, they run Murry's Restaurant, famous for fried catfish and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Down the road, Big K Catfish Barn, set in a big metal shed on a working farm, welcomes hundreds of customers each Saturday night during their December to March season. In DeValls Bluff, the legacy of sliced pork sandwiches and big welcomes endures at Craig's Bar-B-Q, founded in 1947 by brothers Lawrence Craig and Leslie Craig.

Rayne, La.

The drive to Hawk's Crawfish follows gravel roads, past flooded rice fields that double as crawfish ponds. Each winter and spring, farmers pilot flat-bottomed boats across those ponds, harvesting crawfish, bound for places like Hawk's, a tin-roofed roadhouse founded in 1983 by the Arcenaux family. In sight of I-10, Jett's Crawfish Drive-Thru, doing business in a small metal building alongside a gas station, tells a more modern story of how crawfish, once caught and boiled by locals and served at family gatherings, became an everyday indulgence, purchased by the bag or bucket while idling in your car. A conversation with Kurt Venable of Venable Fabrication, one of the region's best crawfish boat builders, brings into focus how both tradition and innovation course through southwestern Louisiana.

The TrueSouth crew will travel to four states throughout the season – making pit stops in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Louisiana – telling stories inspired by the beliefs and hard work of crawfish cooks and duck hunters, lumpia cooks and t-shirt makers.

This season, Chère Éliseout of Lafayette, La., plays modern Cajun at a roadside bar. In the Shoals of Alabama, session musicians lay down tracks at FAME Recording Studios, where Aretha Franklin recorded "Do Right Woman" and Sun Drop Sound, home base for musician John Paul white and others. In Atlanta, Ga., the Buford Highway Orchestra Project is featured, which teaches public school students to play violins and cellos and dream big.
