Located in Madison County, the town of Flora has recently become a mecca for foodies who want big, delicious flavors with small-town appeal. In this episode, Malcolm and Carol spend the day in Flora talking and eating with some of the restaurant owners, farmers, and chefs that have made Flora a destination for good food. Recorded inside Dave's Triple B's, which sits next to the Flora train tracks, Deep South Dining welcomes Chef David Raines (The Flora Butcher, Raines Cellars), Leah Bailey (Salad Days), Meredith Carter (Railroad Pizza), and Teresa Sones (Bless This Food) to the table to share and show off the delicious side of Flora.
