Episode 53: John Currence

John Currence doesn't hold back. From his politics to his convictions about Southern cuisine to his feelings about industry awards and what defines a chef, this Oxford, Mississippi-based chef/restaurateur/author/advocate lays it all out there. Who better to chat with the weekend before Election Day 2018? Andrew and "Johnny Snack" go deep and wide, touching on his earliest days as a cook, evolution as a chef, and his no-holds-barred opinions on myriad aspects of his chosen profession and of society at-large, the early days of the Southern Foodways Alliance, and more. A one-of-a-kind open, honest, and philosophical conversation. Give it a listen, and (if you're a US-based listener) VOTE on Tuesday, November 6!
