The Port City Plate Podcast presented by Bienville Bites Food Tour. Steve Joynt is the founder, owner, and publisher of the Mobile Mask. The Mobile Mask has become the go-to source for all things Mardi Gras in Mobile with their beautiful print magazine, website, and Facebook page. 

We talk to Steve about how he landed in Mobile at the Press-Register and how that led to the creation of the Mobile Mask. We dive deep into the history of Mardi Gras on this episode. The true date of Joe Cain's celebration - (1866 or 1868?) and how Joe brought humor to the revelry. We discuss Mobile's claim to the founding of Mardi Gras in 1703 and how food influenced the creation of Mardi Gras seven centuries ago.   We hit on Carnival food, what might have been on the plate in 1703, plus Steve's WEMO favorites and more. Hear what's new for Mardi Gras 2023 in Mobile and get a sneak peek at the newest edition of the Mobile Mask Magazine!
