-We call our food "soul food." -Cheers. This type of food, you can feel when you eat it. That aroma! The truth is, a lot of American food has its roots in African American food, traditions, and ingenuity. And, you see, it already smells like mac and cheese. This standard, yummy dish has a really old history. I'm Stephen Satterfield, and I'm on a journey to uncover the stories of African American food and meet the new generation preserving our history.
We charred and dressed this beautiful cabbage with pear preserves. Okra is African because it made the voyage with us. It did. We brought it to the New World. Despite the fact that we were in hell, we were suffering, somehow, in all of that nonsense, we created a cuisine. Is this is something that would've been served to Jefferson and Washington by their enslaved chefs? Absolutely. Hercules and Hemings were foundational to the foods that we love today. When you understand your history and understand where you come from, that understanding gives you purpose. Trying to keep the culture going is a blessing. Your turnip greens have transported me back in time. We have a deep tradition that you're honoring in a place like this. But our legacy isn't found in statues or history books.
It lives on in the people who guard the gates of our culture. Cheers. Wow! This is a showstopper. Our story is America. .
