On this week's show, we take a journey in sound with two radio luminaries, Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, also known as The Kitchen Sisters.
Davia and Nikki visit our kitchen at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum to discuss their amazing trajectory on NPR as well as how they came to uncover Hidden Kitchens, their duPont-Columbia Award-winning series.
As we hear The Kitchen Sisters' stories, we also delve into a sampling of their soundscape, from their early days at KUSP, Santa Cruz's community radio station, to some of their favorite Hidden Kitchen visions.
With their help, we'll even hear from heavyweight champion George Foreman about his famous grill — a tool used in many marginalized communities.
Our conversation with The Kitchen Sisters inspired us to explore a hidden kitchen in our own backyard, so we spend a day with two communities in New Orleans who come together through food. One is a set of volunteers from Trinity Episcopal Church, the Loaves and Fishes team, who prepare and deliver meals. The other is the community to whom they cater — the homeless, the transient and those simply in need of a meal — in the greater metropolitan area.
We're having our very own hidden kitchen visions on this week's Louisiana Eats!
