Season 7 kicks off in Oklahoma City, exploring the oil and cattle work that puts money in pockets and ribeyes on tables. Cattlemen's Steakhouse, open since 1910, sits hard by the Oklahoma National Stockyards. Junior's Supper Club, owned by the Shumsky family, does business at the bottom of mid-rise, where the light is always low and every hour is happy hour.

Jasper, AL, was, for the longest time, a coal mining town. Father-and-son stories from the Johnson and Evans families help the crew see what has changed and what has remained. Two restaurants serve as the lodestars: At Brown's Deli and Package Store they bake biscuits and sells half-pints. Across town at Bayou Fresh Seafood, Zhu Jianjun and his crew serve spicy tuna rolls and fried pickles.

The team then went on to follow author George Singleton through the Upstate region of South Carolina, walking the aisles at a flea market in Pickens, eating chili dogs at Holmes Hot Dogs in Spartanburg and Saxon's Hot Dogs in Abbeville. George writes short stories for a living. He reminds them that TrueSouth shows are short stories about home, married to music and pictures.
