SUMMARY:Salt\, Time\, and the Smoky Mountain Ham: A Conversation with Darr
 ell Benton
LOCATION:Museum of Design Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:Salt\, Time\, and the Smoky Mountain Ham: A Conversation with 
 Darrell BentonAbout the Event:In 2009\, Esquire called Benton's the best b
 acon in the world. James Beard named Allan Benton\, the man behind Benton'
 s\, to its list of people who have shaped American food and drink. Sean Br
 ock\, David Chang\, Tom Colicchio\, and Daniel Boulud have all put it on t
 heir tables.Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams in Madisonville\, Tenness
 ee\, is run by Allan and his son Darrell. Allan has spent more than fifty 
 years working out what salt\, smoke\, and time can do to a leg of pork. Da
 rrell left a career as a radiologist to join him\, and now spends his days
  in the curing rooms\, walking past hams that have hung as long as forty m
 onths.That same smokehouse lends its hickory smoke to another project: Hig
 h Wire Distilling's Smoked Jimmy Red Bourbon\, made from a rare heirloom c
 orn that hangs in the smokehouse beside the hams before it travels to Char
 leston to be distilled.Join us at MODA for a conversation with Darrell Ben
 ton about craft\, patience\, and what a process this slow asks of the peop
 le who keep it going. The evening closes with a tasting of Benton's countr
 y ham and bacon alongside the Benton's Smoked Jimmy Red Bourbon.This event
  is generously supported by Studio Fieldwork.What to Expect:Arrive early t
 o explore MODA's latest exhibition\, SALT: A Design StoryThe story behind 
 a bacon Esquire once called the best in the worldA conversation with Darre

 enceTastings of Benton's country ham and bacon\, paired with High Wire Dis
 tilling's Benton's Smoked Jimmy Red BourbonTime to talk with Darrell and o
 ther guests over food and drinkAbout Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams 
 and Darrell BentonBenton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams has operated in Mad
 isonville\, Tennessee\, for more than 50 years under Allan Benton\, who le
 arned the trade from his grandparents in Scott County\, VA. The method has
  stayed close to what Hicks taught: salt rubbed in by hand\, hickory smoke
 \, mountain air\, and a wait of months or years. Lean decades gave way to 
 a following among chefs across the South\, and Benton's country ham and ba
 con now appear on menus around the country.Darrell Benton\, Allan's son\, 
 grew up working at the smokehouse after school and during summers\, then l
 eft for college and\, in 2007\, medical school. He practiced as a radiolog
 ist in Knoxville before recently returning home to join his father.Registr
