In Colonial America, anything that flew, walked, or swam was fit to be fried, roasted, or charred over open fire. Join James Beard Award-winning author Michael W. Twitty in Virginia's 18th-century time capsule known as Colonial Williamsburg, where the legacy of millions of African Atlantic people survives in food. By recreating meals at this living museum, Twitty illustrates how African Atlantic history is instructive to culinary culture, all the way down to the barbecue we eat today.
