About the Vendor: Like any true Southerner, we love a good story. We're the Weeks family.
Our story may involve food... but it's the family part that matters the most. Today, Southern City Flavors is a full family run endeavor, but our story truly began generations ago.
Our roots run deep. Mamaw & Papaw (grandparents to our patriarch, Mike Weeks) were no strangers to hard work. Every day at 3am, well before the sun had a chance to slip a few rays over the horizon, Mamaw & Papaw would meander through the farm to their cows. Diligently milking each & every one. Once the day's early morning job was almost complete Mamaw would without fail, head back to the house to cook breakfast. Most days it was bacon, eggs and homemade biscuits & gravy. A daily breakfast meant for so much more than just nourishment. Memories were made, hard work was rewarded and family time was cherished. Then, there's Nana's love for serrano peppers, Dad's (name) passion for serving up delicious BBQ to his church family, and friends encouraging joy filled cooking competitions. All little, but impactful instances that Mike (affectionately named G-Daddy by our family) would unknowingly be formed by.
Memphis in May World Grand Champion. "I'm not a trained chef. I'm just a good ole country boy that grew up on a farm, learning to cook from family and friends and somehow 25 years later I started Southern City Flavors." - Mike Weeks But, that good ole country boy can make some delicious BBQ Sauce. More than 20 years ago, Mike made the rounds at a few BBQ competitions. Enjoying time spent with friends, devouring some of the best BBQ and making memories that would last a lifetime. His delicious BBQ sauce recipe would eventually earn him the coveted title of Memphis in May World Grand Champion. The award mixed with a little encouragement from friends gave Mike the nudge he needed and just months later Southern City Flavors was born.
The Grit Man. Southern City Flavors had small beginnings, serving up just 6 finger-licking good BBQ sauces. But, throughout the years, Mike's genuine passion for making high quality foods allowed him to see all of delicious recipes from family and friends that he had unknowingly stored in the back pocket of his worn jeans. It was the desire to share those cherished recipes while also producing the best products possible that let Mike expand his product line and to cultivate authentic relationships with his customers - turning them into family, not just another number. It was those same customers that lovingly named Mike "The Grit Man" because of Mike's ability to make what they deemed the best tasting grits around. Today Mike looks back on those memories and early customers fondly, striving to create just as many wonderful relationships with his customers as he did then.
Today As a family we could not be any prouder of our origins. What stemmed from a love of good eats and good memories has turned into an even bigger desire to share Southern made products based on family recipes and natural food the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It's our desire to help you enjoy time at home with your family, creating memories that will impact generations to come.
So, from our family to yours - welcome! We're so happy you're here.

About the Vendor: From Home Cook to Executive Chef: Neal started his culinary journey cooking beans and greens with his Granny at the young age of 8, when he could first reach the stove. He completed an internship in a fine dining restaurant when he was 16, which quickly led to a passion for creating delicious dishes with bold flavors.
He joined the US Navy out of high school, and gained experience in managing a kitchen staff of 10, with the responsibility of feeding 3,000 sailors 3 meals a day. During his time in Naval kitchens, he quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming an Officer’s Chef and visiting Camp David in his culinary pursuits.
After his US Navy service, a cross country move led him to the kitchen of Wyoming’s oldest bar, where he held the position of Chef and fell in love with open flame cooking.
Now back home in Tennessee, Neal loves the laid back feel of his own kitchen, and though he’s technically a “home cook” now… he’s the best damn home cook you’ll ever meet.
If you can eat it, he can cook it…from Japanese Hibachi to Mexican to Italian and everything in between.
And he even does dishes, too. But sorry, ladies, he’s taken….

About the Vendor:
TorchBearer Sauces was founded by Vid, Ben, and Tim, three guys in their 20s with a knack for creating tasty condiments, fiery hot sauces, and tasty recipes with them. Besides creating a range of table sauces and enough recipes to fill a book, TorchBearer has also been turning heads with the world’s first habanero cheesecake.
So how did TorchBearer start, you ask? Well, like many great inventions, the sauce itself started as a fluke. Vid and Ben just happened to have lots of extra habaneros in their gardens that they didn’t want to go to waste. As a result, they decided to create a habanero preserve. Little did they know that it ended up tasting better than anything on the market —so, naturally, they decided to share a good thing.
The three guys took a few days off work, drove from Pennyslvania to Texas—and back (over 72 hours!)—and picked up 666 pounds of habanero peppers. They spent two weeks of chopping, bagging, and freezing the peppers so they’d have enough for the upcoming winter. It wasn’t long before they were making all the sauces themselves, by hand.
Armed with temporary labels and their first full batch of sauce, it was now time to see if the world was ready. The guys went down to the Cajun Hot Sauce Festival in Louisiana and won three national awards with their sauces. More awards started coming and it wasn’t long before the word started getting out. The End.
Okay, well not quite The End. The guys are still hitting the hot sauce festivals and coming up with new concoctions all the time. Check out the latest news. Thanks for visiting the site!

About the Vendor: A LEGACY OF QUALITY: One cold Wisconsin winter day in 1976, the homemade smoker Harold Hanni crafted from an old chest freezer caught on fire. Nearly burning his house down, Harold was determined to find a better way. After several drafts, Harold finally settled on his first smoker, the Model 100. Made by sausage makers, for sausage makers.
A FAMILY OBSESSED WITH FLAVOR: After Pro Smoker was established, Harold realized there was a need for sausage seasonings to go along with his homemade smokers. Harold, along with his son Ken and Ken's wife, Kate, established PS Seasoning in 1986. The company opened a storefront in Iron Ridge, WI where spices were hand-scooped for customers. The store also sold sausage-making supplies, cheese, and smoked meats. Harold became the company's mascot and the cartoon icon Lil' Harry became synonymous with old-world flavor and craftsmanship.
FOUR-GENERATIONS STRONG: Today, our facility has grown from a small storefront to a 100,000 sq foot facility with a library of over 3,000 blends. Through new innovation and product development, the next generation of the Hanni family is committed to honoring the past while still preparing for the future. PS Seasoning & Pro Smoker are proud to be a 4th generation family-owned and operated company, still dedicated to the same quality and service that has been our cornerstone since the beginning.
