Listen "Barbecue Trailblazers: The Queen of Smoke (Episode 1)"
Episode Synopsis
In a world where barbecuing is considered "dude food" and men's work, Helen Turner is an institution. She's steadily nurtured her style of Tennessee barbecue the traditional way; by using only smoke to flavor her meats over a fire pit. But this style of barbecue is back-breaking work, and Helen may consider retiring. But is she ready to let go? And who would she pass Helen's Bar BQ down to? Find out on the first episode of our miniseries: When Southern Women Cook: The Barbecue Trailblazers. This episode was reported by Maya Kroth.
