“Well, butter my behind and call me a biscuit.” – Southern saying
Join us at the intersection of South and Food, where mighty tales are told. Filmmakers and whiskey makers who call the South home join regional chefs to create a perfect lineup of southern food experts who will delight and tempt you. Joining the panel are Martha Hall Foose, a James Beard Award winner for American Cooking and a Southern Independent Bookseller’s Award winner; James and Julie Petrakis, owners/chefs of sister restaurants Cask & Larder and The Ravenous Pig here in Winter Park; Brandon McGlamery, whose passion for wood burning ovens and Italian food sets the tone Prato and Luma on Park; and Mississippi’s own Donald Bender, whose legendary Mockingbird Bakery specialized in artisanal breads and baked goods. We’ll also be chatting with filmmaker Joe York about his newest film on Southern cooking Pride and Joy, as well as one of its stars Will Harris of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia, a cattle rancher with deep roots in the Deep South. Last and certainly not least, enjoy the mirthful spirits of Troy Ball of Troy & Sons Moonshine, who will certainly spice up this food panel with her tales of moonshine creations.
