Padma visits Charleston, South Carolina where we first hear from Michael Twitty, a descendent of the Gullah Geechee people and an award-winning gifted culinary historian who is dedicated to keeping the stories of his ancestors alive and thriving.

Now, in the present, they still fight to preserve their history and culture that so heavily influenced the American south. We're shown how when the Gullah Geechee people were free, they used their knowledge, spirit, and ancestral land to curate a culture that has been passed down for generations. This episode is one that stands out for many reasons but one that resonates most in times like the present was the atrocities faced by the Gullah people during enslavement.
