LLLC Cooking Club: Succotash and Hush Puppies
Succotash is a Summertime Harvest favorite and was a staple in the lives of slaves. Enslaved Africans brought Okra with them and introduced it to American cuisine. As African Americans left the South in the two Great Migrations — Reconstruction and WWII — the dish changed, but its roots remain the same: tomatoes, peppers, okra, corn, and herbs.
Guest Chef Myila Granberry will share her family’s version of the dish as we talk about how food changes with access, geography, and economics.
The Menu: Succotash, Rice, Hush Puppies, and Watermelon. Cost: $30
