On our swing through South Carolina last week, we visited Mac's on Main — an institution in Columbia and a well-known stop among politicians.

The restaurant serves up down-home soul food and live music every night, and several key presidential candidates have stopped by.

We take a tour with owner Barry Walker.

Watch Barry Walker and his band play the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic, "Sweet Home Alabama."
