The country of Lebanon is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Yet a great community of Lebanese call Mississippi home because their ancestors migrated here at the turn of the 20th century and brought traditions and foods that melded perfectly with the southern flavors of Mississippi. Today we talk about these lasting traditions with guest-host Joe Sherman. Whose family grandfather immigrated here during those early days. Then we add Chef Alex Eaton (Manship, Aplos) and professor Jimmy Thomas (University of Mississippi) to the conversation about kibbeh, Chamoun's Resthaven, and more.
