What the creator captured
Travel Channel explored the transition of moonshining from a clandestine woods operation to a legal industry in Wilkes County. The creator was particularly impressed by the 'moonshiner's meal' of fried snapping turtle and the unique history of how bootleggers outrunning the law birthed NASCAR. The experience culminated in a rare lunch gathering where former rivals from both sides of the law shared stories of their high-speed cat-and-mouse games.
