Lebanese immigrants began arriving in the Mississippi Delta in the 1870s, working as peddlers, then grocers and restaurateurs. In this episode of Hidden Kitchens we go to Clarksdale where BBQ, the blues and a kind of Lebanese meat loaf meet — at the legendary intersection of the Highways 61 and 49, where bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil.
