Good luck, Chef Peacock


Food Memories from Alabama. James Beard award winner Scott Peacock has departed Watershed restaurant in Decatur, Ga., to focus on a new film documentary that will chronicle the oral histories of some of Alabama's oldest residents and their food memories. Scott helped put Southern cuisine on the culinary map for Atlanta, but he's returning to his 'bama roots to complete this important project. He also wants to write books, including a memoir about his relationship with the great Southern chef Edna Lewis. Looking forward to the stories he'll share. http://tiny.cc/CUbQ1

  • Hello -
    I am a filmmaker in Atlanta. I just wanted to let you know I produced a 21 minute documentary about Miss Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock. The film is called "Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie".

    It is viewable in its entirety on Internet at a Gourmet Magazine website:

    and at this Library of Virginia website:

    My website, http://bbarash.com/bb_friedchicken.htm

    has more information about the film and the story of Miss Lewis.

    Sincerely,
    Bailey Barash
