Chaos & Culture Episode 14: Who Made the Potato Salad? feat. KJ Kearney of Black Food Fridays

Black food anthropology and media is a big deal these days. Think books like Michael W. Twitty's 'The Cooking Gene' and Bryant Terry's 'Black Food' or Netflix shows like High On the Hog and Fresh, Fried and Crispy, to name a few. There are also numerous social media accounts dedicated to Black food from around the Diaspora, be it chefs of all types and foodies alike. One account that has recently caught my eye is Black Food Fridays, an initiative that encourages everyone to support Black-owned food vendors and creatives each and every Friday or as founder KJ Kearney also puts it: "Black Food Fridays is like #TacoTuesdays but for Black people food!" The North Charleston native launched the site in April 2020, has been seen or featured on The Today Show, The Takeout, Charleston's The Post and Courier, Mic.com, and has amassed over 160,000+ followers. On this episode. we'll be talking about Black people’s present interpretation and understanding of our food and what the future holds for preserving and sharing time-honored traditions/cooking styles.
