  • Love the mayo discourse

    I love listening to this show. I’ve been introduced to so many local restaurants (like Bully’s) and I thoroughly enjoy all of the tips and tricks for cooking and food prep. The ongoing mayo discussion is very entertaining!

  • Thanks for the effort!!

    Since retiring home to MS, I’ve subscribed to several podcasts and find I’m looking forward every week to Deep South Dining. You are blessed with great contacts and stories. If you haven’t interviewed him, I would suggest Ben Mims, a MS native now in California. Has several books. ATTALA55.
