Soul Food - Where Did Soul Food Come From?

Aria Aiden: I'd love to hear you talk about soul food, how a lot of the traditional recipes originated. So we have recently moved away from a place where we got nonstop great soul food in Macon, Georgia. We ended up moving to East Tennessee which is super mountainous and was not conducive to plantation architecture. And as a result, the black population that we have in Knoxville basically got here in much the same way that black population arrived in northern urban capitals via the Great Migration.
