Food historian Michael Twitty is bringing some kosher soul to this week's episode of Hot Grease. Nicole Taylor sits down with Michael to talk about the Oscars, specifically the films Django Unchained and Beasts of the Southern Wild and their inclusion of Southern food. How was the South represented on the James Beard Long List? Later, Michael talks about his experiences on Bizarre Food, and what it's like to have a complex identity. How does Michael define 'soul food'? Later, Nicole and Michael wrap up Black History Month by discussing black food legends such as Verna Mae Grosvenor, Slyvie Woods, and Jessica B. Harris! This program has been brought to you by White Oak Pastures.
"Soul food is not slave food, and it's not necessarily West African food. Soul food is the cuisine of the great grandchildren of enslaved people." [18:00]
"When you come from a complex identity, it's not the labels you put on yourself, it's the heart you give that shows you what you are." [23:15]

This week on A Taste of the Past, Linda Pelaccio is joined by food writer and journalist Toni Tipton-Martin for a discussion on imagery, stereotypes and African American cuisine and culture as it relates to the famous and controversial image of Aunt Jemima. Learn more about the history behind the trademarked character and hear what Toni thinks "soul food" actually means in the context of African American cooking. This program was sponsored by Fairway Market.
"There is quite a bit of debate now over whether the woman being depicted as Aunt Jemima ever existed at all."
"I think there's an expectation as an African American cook or chef to conform to an image that has been constructed in the trademark of Aunt Jemima."
"Soul Food is a definition that emerged out of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960's, at a time when African American dance, music and other artistic expressions were being reclaimed and identified by the term 'soul'. For that particular period of time, [soul food] is a suitable definition for what was coming out of the kitchen."
"I'm hoping we can look at these women free of gender and racial biases and just look at the work they did at the time."
--Journalist and author Toni Tipton-Martin on A Taste of the Past
