"An Essence Best New Winter Read"
"Winner of the C. Wright Mills Award, The Society for the Study of Social Problems"
"James Beard Foundation Book Award Nominee"
"What [Ewoodzie] finds runs counter to popular narrative, which often attributes meal choices among Southern Black Americans to traditions that center on the consumption of ‘soul food’. . . . Ewoodzie concludes that food is one of the tools used to construct, refine, and reconstruct racial boundaries. . . .His sobering storytelling . . . also offers vitally important insight for food rescue industry service providers and gatekeepers."---Cassie M. Chew, Civil Eats
