Our Southern Table Trip to Alabama ❤️
A few weeks ago, we set off on our very first culinary & cultural journey in the United States, exploring the food, history, and wonderful hospitality of Alabama with such a special group of guests!
From making Southern biscuits in Marion and hearing powerful stories of the Civil Rights Movement from Mary Moore, to an exquisite evening at the Southbound Heritage Dinner, we experienced so much of what makes the South so special.
A highlight was Rooted: Women in Food at Pepper Place Market, where we heard from an inspiring panel of women — Sandra Gutierrez Cynthia Stevens Graubart Bomb Biscuit Company and Megan Pinckney Rutherford — sharing stories of food, family, and Southern traditions. We also loved meeting moderator Nancy Wall Hopkins, formerly of Better Homes & Gardens, and are already dreaming of visiting her new Eastman House The Eastman House in Appalachia!
We enjoyed the gracious hospitality of Chef Chris Hastings and his team at Hot and Hot Fish Club, and a beautiful visit to 1818 Farms.
Thank you to our wonderful guests for joining us with such excitement, and to all the extraordinary people who shared their stories, traditions, and tables with us.
Alabama, thank you for welcoming us so warmly! ❤️
