"Smokes & Ears" to screen at New York Food Film Festival

Smokes & Ears, a short documentary by MDP producer Joe York, will screen this Friday night, June 25th, at the New York Food Film Festival. The documentary chronicles the Big Apple Inn on historic Farish Street in Jackosn, MS, and was produced by MDP and the Southern Foodways Alliance in recognition of Geno Lee, owner/operator of the Big Apple Inn and recipient of the SFA’s 2009 Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award. Check out the trailer for the New York Food Film Festival…

The New York Food & Film Festival is a great event and it’s unique in that attendees get to eat the foods documented in the films while they watch. Geno Lee will be in New York Friday night to represent the film and to cook pig ear sandwiches for an already sold out crowd. If you’re not one of the lucky ones with a ticket for Friday night, you can watch the film right here…

Funding for “Smokes & Ears” was provided by the Fertel Foundation.


Smokes & Ears

Smokes & Ears tells the story of the Big Apple Inn in Jackson, Mississippi. Known as “Big John’s” by its faithful customers, the Big Apple Inn’s defining duo of pig ear sandwiches and hot smoked sausage sandwiches (known as “smokes”) has kept folks coming back again and again for over 70 years, and counting.This short film was produced and directed by Joe York at the University of Mississippi’s Media & Documentary Projects Center in association with the Southern Foodways Allliance. The film debuted at the 2009 Southern Foodways Symposium as part of an awards ceremony recognizing Geno Lee, owner of The Big Apple, as the 2009 Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award Winner.
