Title: The Proffitts of Ridgewood
Description: Pressures to modernize are constant, but labor-intensive tradition prevails at Ridgewood Barbecue near Bluff City. The restaurant has been located at the same spot since 1948, and it has been owned and operated by the Proffitt family all that time. Fred W. Sauceman tells a story of persistence, respect for tradition, and loyalty to the land.
