Helen’s Bar BQ

Joe Elmore makes a return trip to Helen’s Bbq in Brownsville.


More Information

It's heartening to learn about the success of a business we've previously visited on Tennessee Crossroads. Such is the case of Helen's BBQ in Brownsville. This unassuming little place in West Tennessee has earned an international reputation. The secret has to do with change...or as you'll see, the lack of it.

Joe Elmore has been the host of this Emmy-award winning series since its beginnings. As the face of Tennessee Crossroads, Joe has been taking viewers to meet interesting people and explore fascinating out-of-the-way places since 1987. Joe is also a producer and co-host of Horsepower TV on Spike TV. Joe launched his TV career at WHBQ TV in Memphis, TN, where he served as weekend anchor and reporter. Later, he was chosen to co-host the station's PM Magazine show, where he produced nationally-broadcast stories. He has also done extensive work as an independent film and video producer for clients throughout the Southeast.
