The Southern Foodways Alliance will celebrate the annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party with SFA-produced films about barbecue, smart talk about barbecue, and riffs on barbecue from some of the South’s best chefs.
 
The SFA, a University of Mississippi-based institute, documents, studies, and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the changing American South. For the past eleven years, we’ve worked with Union Square Hospitality Group to make films about American barbecue culture. Debuting will be a Joe York-produced film on McClard’s Bar-B-Q, smoking since 1928 in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
 
Chefs leading the way include:

• Kenny Callaghan, Blue Smoke, New York, New York
• Matt Kelly, Mateo Tapas, Durham, North Carolina
