This week on Southern Gentlemen, Chris and Winston sit down with Trey Echols - known affectionately across the internet as The Fedneck - to talk about life, loyalty, and the one food that might unite America: the cheeseburger.

Trey built a following by doing something simple and doing it well - celebrating thick, no-nonsense burgers and unapologetically standing by one very specific opinion: tomatoes have no business on a burger. (To be clear, he doesn't hate tomatoes… he just believes they're in the wrong job description.)

The guys dive into how Trey got started, where The Fedneck nickname came from, growing up in Alabama, Gen X nostalgia, old-school country music, and why simple things done right still matter. Along the way, they debate smashburgers vs. thick patties, discuss the structural sabotage of overly wet toppings, and explore what food says about identity, memory, and knowing exactly who you are.

It's funny. It's nostalgic. It's unapologetically Southern. And by the end, you might rethink what belongs on your next burger.

Grab a seat at the table - and maybe hold the tomato. 🍔
