Whether high-profiling on NPR's Weekend Edition or solo traveling the back roads of the Deep South, beyond any shadow of a doubt, Edge not only knows what makes the Southern stomach growl, he lives it and breathes it and, now, shares it with us. John T. laughs like a hyena, is tenacious as a possum, is as clever as a squirrel, and as fun as a Jack Russell. That's why I keep fighting off the urge to eat it. In Southern Belly he serves up a mess of Dixie delight, well-seasoned with history, anecdote, opinion and wit. John T. Edge illuminates Southern history and culture in a unique way, through the lanscapes, personalities, and tastes of Southern food.
Edge is one of our most original and insightful observers.
