Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Guy Fieri, SUPER SOUTHERN EATS is a half-hour reality series that follows Damaris Phillips and Rutledge Wood as they travel across America to find the nation's best local southern spots. On Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 9:30pm ET/PT, Food Network premiered the series pilot, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. In the pilot, "Southern Fried Georgia," Damaris and Rutledge kick off the most delicious road trip in central Georgia, where the Southern staples shine. They find an unbelievable breakfast at a gas station, where they devour legendary sausages, fried pork chops and lard-filled biscuits. Then, they hit up a BBQ joint in the college town of Athens, Ga. where smoked pork is the star before stopping at a legendary Atlanta institution to see how they've been making fried chicken for generations.
