#15 "Fried Chicken is a Unifying Food"


Listen Later

On episode 15 of the My American Meltingpot podcast, we're getting out of the studio and hitting the streets of Philadelphia to find out who owns fried chicken. That's right, fried chicken. In the United States, fried chicken is most often associated with African Americans. Sometimes that association is a positive one, other times it is simply a racist trope. But the reality is, fried chicken is a culinary delight enjoyed by different cultures and communities all over the world.

In this episode, we're deep diving into the world of fried chicken in Guatemala, South Korea and in the African American community. We're challenging fried chicken stereotypes and learning how deep-fried poultry pulled one country out of an economic downturn. I promise, after listening to the episode, you'll never think about fried chicken the same way again. You're also going to be really hungry before we're done. Let's dig in.

Check the shownotes on the My American Meltingpot blog for even more fun facts about fried chicken.
