It's our first feed drop! We're swapping shows with Whetstone Radio's Setting the Table — hosted by writer Deb Freeman — which explores the stories and histories of African American cuisine and foodways. Today's episode is one that focuses on something you either love or hate (and that feeling can easily change daily) — alcohol. Yes, African American foodways have not only influenced the way that Americans eat, but how we drink as well, and here you'll be introduced to the stories and legacies of a celebrated selection of Black brewers and distillers.Subscribe to Food with Mark Bittman on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen, and please help us grow by leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.Follow Mark on Twitter at @bittman, and on Facebook and Instagram at @markbittman.
