Some recipes just taste like home. ?? Deviled eggs are a Mountain South classic — the first thing to disappear at family gatherings and the dish that always sparks a little friendly debate over whose recipe reigns supreme. This version keeps it simple, with creamy yolks, a touch of mayo, a hint of dried mustard, and the sweetness of finely diced pickles. A sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley on top brings that perfect pop of color. Whether you’re making them for Sunday supper, a picnic, or a holiday table, deviled eggs are always a good idea. Give this recipe a try and let us know — what’s your secret ingredient? Special thanks to the PFZ crew ?? Executive Producer - Bryan Allen Executive Producer, talent - Kristin Majni?

Pimento cheese — a true Mountain South classic ?? Whether slathered on crackers, stuffed into sandwiches, or served in a chicken biscuit, this creamy, tangy spread is a staple in Southern kitchens.

A warm sip of Southern comfort. ? In the Mountain South, a hot toddy is more than just a drink — it’s a time-honored tradition. With a simple blend of whiskey, honey, lemon, and spice, it’s been a staple in Southern homes for generations. Whether sipped to soothe a cold or shared during a chilly evening, the hot toddy has always brought people together. For this pour, we chose Uncle Nearest whiskey, a Tennessee-made spirit that carries a legacy of craftsmanship and resilience. Honoring Nearest Green, the first African American master distiller, Uncle Nearest represents the rich heritage of Southern distilling — a perfect match for this classic cocktail. Here’s to savoring the stories behind every sip. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the flavors and traditions of the Mountain South!

A true taste of the Mountain South starts with Benton's ?? ? For over 50 years, Allan Benton has been perfecting the art of dry-curing country ham and smoking bacon in Madisonville, Tennessee.

Now, alongside his son Darrell, Allan continues to preserve the time-honored traditions that made Benton's a household name. From the rich aroma of slow-smoked bacon to the salt-cured perfection of country ham, every bite carries a story of patience, craftsmanship, and Appalachian heritage.? ?
