Culinary History of Atlanta (Interview w/ Akila McConnell)

This week, I'm interviewing local entrepreneur, author and friend, Akila McConnell. We're talking about Atlanta’s early cooking and restaurant history and this episode is packed with incredible stories you've never heard before. From Native American cooking techniques, the first food vendors, the first restaurants to our love of Decatur Street and how immigrants have always shaped Atlanta's food scene.
