20 Years, 20 Founders: Van Sykes
Twenty years ago, in 1999, author and activist John Egerton convened a two-day meeting of 50 people who lent their names to a non-profit organization dedicated to the documentation and celebration of the diverse food cultures of the American South. In celebration of this anniversary, SFA has commissioned a series of Founders shorts highlighting those founding members and the importance of Southern Foodways. Founding member Van Sykes of Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q talks about the importance of barbecue traditions and what they tell us about the American South.
