David and Doug talk to Amara Sama, owner of the Palm’s Caribbean pop-up that blends his Jamaican and Liberian roots. We get a brief education into Liberian and Jamaican cuisine, talk about farmers market produce vs. the grocery store, and get a glimpse into how tight-knit the cooking community is at the Mickle center. We also chat about fast food restaurant systems, how COVID-19 has impacted how Amara cooks at home, and how he may have invented the KFC famous bowl before it was official. We close out with some musings on parenthood and an introduction to the cure-all, ginger juice.
