June 15, 2020 Deep South Dining: Soul Food w/ Adrian Miller
Adrian Miller did not set out to be known as the Soul Food Scholar, but when he say a void in the telling of the story of soul food he rose to the challenge. Now as a James Beard Award winning author and historian he shares the story of soul food and how it is a major part of the African-American experience. On this episode of Deep South Dining, Malcolm and Carol talk with Adrian ahead of Juneteenth about the role food plays in the celebration. They also talk about the way economics impede the progression of soul food restaurants. And answer the question, is there a difference between soul food and southern food? Let's eat y'all!
