This episode was so special, the food looks delicious, and the diversity of the guests was very special!!! Love the queer representation, a lovely family, the friends, the musicians, the cute places and frankly I want to taste the gumbo soon, with and without tomato! I don't want spoiler to others, but it was so special and a great example of resiliencie.

Warning: Spoilers
Roadfood is about showing people with different perspectives, and showing how we are all unique, yet similar as people -- all done with empathy. This episode is a prime example.
Spoilers - beyond this point Not gonna lie -- segments of this episode were difficult for me. Seeing someone saying that their sinking island is purely a victim of erosion and not climate change, while wearing a second amendment cap and Trump pins is not my idea of fun.
But Misha and the show takes empathy seriously, and they try to humanize everyone, while showing the local food and culture. It's very easy to de-humanize those we don't agree with, and Roadfood will have none of that.
This show needs to be recognized for what it's doing. It's not just something to watch to know where to eat. It's a lot more than that.
