Allan Benton: A Tennessee Country Ham Legend
In a small roadside smokehouse in Madisonville, Tennessee, Allan Benton crafts what top chefs across the U.S. consider the gold standard of country ham and bacon. The potent, provocative smell of hickory smoke draws in any visitor and anyone who tries the finished product.
Since Benton started the business 47 years ago, Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams has become a Southern legend. His dry-cured and smoked hams and thick-cut bacon, made by hand the way his grandparents did, can be found on the menus of leading chefs throughout the South and beyond, including David Chang and Tom Colicchio in New York and Chris Shepherd in Houston. The business has been featured in foodways exhibits at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and the Southern Food and Beverage Museum in New Orleans, and Benton was inducted into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America in 2015.
When siblings Firdaws and Ruhullah Ashiru came to Hammond, La., they did not expect Americans to be obsessed with something so dear to their childhood.
In Nigeria, they drank hibiscus tea when they were little, and they realized that America did not seem to have anything similar to the tea they loved growing up. Hibiscus teas were not easily accessible, and with that in mind, Firdaws gathered materials to make a healthier alternative after seeing her grandmother go through arthritis surgery.
Fresh Hibiscus Tea, founded by Firdaws Ashiru, was created to bring hibiscus tea to the Hammond area.
Ashiru explained why she chose Hammond to share her product.
