Chef John Currence, never one to shy away from airing his opinions, calls in from Oxford, Mississippi, to share an on-the-ground report, and kick around everything from the encouraging human reaction to the pandemic to date, how the crisis might or might not be reflected in pop culture, and what music he's been listening to these days.
Our great thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Andrew is a writer by trade. If you'd like to support him, there's no better way than by purchasing his most recent book, The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food (October 2023), about all the key people (in the restaurant, on farms, in delivery trucks, etc.) whose stories and work come together in a single restaurant dish.
We'd love if you followed us on Instagram.
Please also follow Andrew's real-time journal of the travel, research, writing, and production of/for his next book The Opening (working title), which will track four restaurants in different parts of the U.S. from inception to launch.
For Andrew's writing, dining, and personal adventures, follow along at his personal feed.
