Great

Loved this! Feel good show.

This show wouldn't be the same without Misha in it. He's such an empathic person, a good listener. It feels like he really cares about everyone he meets, that he wants them to feel seen and heard. I just appreciate watching him tour and see these neighborhoods and also, he's funny.

Also.. not the kind of cockles i'm used to seeing, but a great episode nonetheless.

One of my favorites

This episode is amazing in that it manages one of the best balances of lighthearted fun, beautiful travelogue, and historical information so far in RoadFood. I've traveled the US a lot so while I loved the first few episodes, they didn't necessarily make me say, "I've got to see this town," but this one did.

The fun part: All the guests in this episode are so outgoing, attractive and charismatic. Everyone just feels so positive, and it's lovely to see.

The serious part: The plot summary mentions a Portuguese immigrant population, but what the summary doesn't mention is that both members of predominantly European Portugal, and the predominantly African Portuguese Cape Verde colony came to the US. So you essentially have both sides of a colonial revolution as immigrants with slightly different versions of the same foods. This is a simplified summary, but you get the idea. I was surprised that we even got this glimpse into the history. I really wish this was a longer show and they could have spent more time with the history, but I appreciated and enjoyed what was shared.
