These are my favourite reviews of yours (like the 'different kinds of BBQ' one a while back). I really like your enthusiastic explanations of how American food evolved, and why. No need to apologise, therefore, for these occasional forays into genuine expertise. :)

Were you in London when Brad MacDonald was cooking at The Lockhart and Shotgun? His cornbread was legendary.

I flipping' loved Lockhart. It was super inconvenient for us, and we went there a lot. Great place. What happened to him?

Found him. He's back in the USA.

You might like this feature I wrote for Food Arts in America, but the publication folded before it saw the light of day https://www.scribd.com/document/247233983/Brad-McDonald#google_vignette

Fabulous review and fascinating background. I guess you've seen the Sean Brock Chef's Table episode?

Ooh, how wonderful. Truly. I have been a fan of Brenda on YouTube forever. Her Appalachian cooking videos are legendary. And now this. I must book. Thank you. Fabulous news.

I keep seeing Appalachia pop up but haven’t read a full review yet, really enjoyed this especially from an expert of the region.

It’s also always nice to meet other Americans in London on Substack 🇺🇸
