Deep South Dining: Help From our Friends
•
Like the Beatles song, "With A Little Help From My Friends" or the Whodini hip hop classic, "Friends" today's show could not have happened without some familiar Deep South Dining voices. Malcolm and Carol were off for the Memorial Day holiday and had plenty of food talk to catch up on. Also they discuss the new normal for restaurants as guidelines are being relaxed. Then we hear from a few friends who keep a fresh perspective about eating in Mississippi. Let's eat y'all.
