The Orrisons are known as the first family of Mississippi barbecue. The family runs a small chain of award-winning barbecue and blues joints -- each named The Shed -- which has locations in Mississippi and Alabama. Each episode of the series chronicles a different aspect of the family's business empire in addition to profiling the Orrison family itself, which is full of big characters, big toys and big laughs. In addition to the fun-loving family, the colorful employees and devoted regulars -- known as "ShedHeds" -- make the barbecue joint seem like a real-life sitcom. Although Food Network likely hopes the formula makes for a successful reality show.
