Appalachia Meets World Episode 148 - An Appalachian Appetizer Champion (and another Throwback Appalachian Foodways)!

Appalachia Meets World

Sorry for missing last week...we had a few technical (and timing) difficulties...but, like BBN (and poltergeist) - WE'RE BACK!!

In this episode, Neil and Will throw it back to their favorite Appalachian Food episode of all time, with the "King of Country Ham" - Allan Benton! We also discuss the Appalachian Appetizer Final Four and who was crowned the 2024 Champion - definitely "one shining moment!" No sleepers here, there were definitely some blue bloods in the mix! Take a listen to find out which appetizer was crowned the fan favorite! We also talked about a few upcoming App News items, check 'em out in the notes below!

Till next time remember to be - "Always Appalachian!"
