Stewbilee Every year Brunswick, Georgia, holds a festival called Stewbilee to celebrate their invention of Brunswick stew--a claim also made by Brunswick County, Virginia. Stew-masters from far and wide in Georgia gather--and often stew-masters from Virginia too whenever a "Stew War" competition and stew cook-off occurs--gather and compete for awards for best stew under a strict "Cook Off Rules." A panel of judges is invited to sample-taste the stews and vote for the ones they prefer. After learning that folklorist Dr. John Burrison was invited to be a judge at the festival, Stan asked Burrison, who had served as advisor on a number of his films, to join him as he documented the festival.

With wit and humor, Southern Stews carries us from Kentucky and Virginia into Georgia and South Carolina to discover ancestral stews that honor an agrarian past and contain the blended history of our European, African, Native American, and frontier settler roots in one-pot meals.
