Judge. Farmer. Restaurateur. Author. One of Mississippi's most trusted voices — and 6.5 million people showed up to watch in just 90 days.
Stafford Shurden has been many things — a judge who commanded courtrooms, a farmer who works the Delta soil, a restaurateur who feeds his community at Stafford's Market, and an author whose book became an Amazon bestseller.
For the past six years he's been building something else entirely: one of Mississippi's largest and most trusted media presences, one tailgate episode at a time. The Gas Station Tailgate Review, Breaking Bread podcast, and Success Supper Club have turned Stafford into a household name across the state — and a genuinely powerful platform for the brands and businesses he believes in.
He is based in Drew, Mississippi, where Archie Manning once had a parade thrown in his honor — and where Stafford still farms, still feeds people, and still films off the tailgate of his truck.
Three platforms. One authentic Mississippi voice. Millions of people watching, listening, and showing up.
Filmed off the tailgate of his truck at roadside stops across Mississippi and the Southeast. Authentic, funny, and deeply local.
Exclusive business dinners held monthly at Stafford's Market in Drew, bringing Mississippi's leaders together around the table.
Named after the Southern tradition of a meat and three vegetables, Stafford's book is a celebration of the tables, the conversations, and the connections that define a life well lived in Mississippi and across the South.
Part memoir, part philosophy, part love letter to the Delta — Meet and Three captures the voice and wisdom that millions of people have come to trust online, now in a form you can hold in your hands.
