On today’s episode of Preferred Walk-On, we’re taking a road trip with John T. Edge — host of TrueSouth and author of the brand-new book, House of Smoke, releasing today.

John T. takes us on a journey through:

📺 The Origins of TrueSouth — how the show began and what it’s become
📖 House of Smoke — why he wrote it and the stories behind it
👨‍👦 Carrying His Father’s Name — what it means to him and the pride he takes in it
🍽 His Perfect Last Day of Eating — from first bite to final toast

This is storytelling at its best — where food, family, and Southern culture meet. It’s an episode that connects the stories we tell at the table with the culture we celebrate on Saturdays.

Support John T. in every way you can and be sure to grab your copy of House of Smoke.
