On this week's episode, host Jamie Sanders returns to his home state, Florida, to discuss its cuisine and food history. From fried chicken to boiled peanuts, Florida has a rich culture around food. But one thing stands out: fried seafood.

Jamie Sanders is a historian of Latin America at Utah State and his family’s cook. He grew up in the rural South and loves its regional cuisine, but a study abroad trip to the Yucatán when he was a teenager really awakened him to international food culture.
