I recently discovered the Kitchen Sisters, via their podcast "hidden kitchens". It's a great project where they uncover some amazing cultural food pockets that are often overlooked.
I llistened to all ten podcasts in one sitting, they are short and sweet while being very interesting. I wanted to taste the food discussed in every one.
My favorite entry was the story of the Angola Prison Rodeo, (you have to hear it) held at a farm-prison in west Louisiana. The inmates participate in the rodeo, but they also prepare Louisiana fare using ingredients grown at the prison.
This sounds like heaven to me.
