On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: Hello Market in Bessemer, Alabama
I ate dirt in Bessemer, Alabama. Not that fancy “Down Home White Dirt” that’s professionally harvested in Griffin, Georgia either. I went all-in for local dirt that’s brought to market by bootleg dirt vendors tilling the clay hills of Alabama.

I traveled to The Burl in Lexington, Kentucky recently to see Ian Noe perform. It was a 1500 mile roundtrip. Noe’s from Beattyville, Kentucky, hard up in the Appalachians, and he writes eloquently on the hard times that folks in … Continue reading

On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: Carnitas Lonja in San Antonio is Glorious

On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: 2019 Tet Fest In New Orleans’ Little Vietnam

On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: Farm Market Restaurant in Lexington Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky is just far enough north to not necessarily be held to the tenets of southern hospitality. Tell me of the restaurant you last visited in Mississippi or Alabama that refused to serve you a glass of cold tap … Continue reading

On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: Anchor Grill in Covington Kentucky (est. 1946)
The ashtrays are all gone. The puritans that run Kenton County had their moment in the sun back in 2011, and late nights at the Anchor Grill were changed forever. We loved the old truck drivers and stevedores who used … Continue reading
On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: Berea College Farm Store In Berea Kentucky
It’s a 700 mile drive from New Orleans to the Berea College Farm Store but it’s one I make at least twice a year to lay in provisions that I can’t find in Louisiana.
