Episode Guide
Season 8 opens in Clinton, the small Georgia town where host and writer John T. Edge was born. During Season 3, Edge began writing a memoir. House of Smoke, which publishes this September, brings Edge back to reconnect with the places and people that made him. The restaurants that catapult Edge back in time are Nu Way Wieners in nearby Macon, where he and his father ate chili-slaw dogs; and Fresh Air Bar-B-Que near Jackson, to which father and son traveled on pilgrimages. On this return to where he began, Edge asks honest questions about home and belonging that transcended the personal to become universal.
