La Part du lion: Comment la cuisine afro-américaine a changé les États-Unis

I really enjoyed this series. It was an excellent cinematography. It was cool seeing how African American food is still so closely related to African cuisines and how we built so much of America's food. Very informative, emotional, and powerful! I loved every bit of it!!!

This show has been so enlightening for me as a white woman with roots that are both Native American and African. I am amazed at the facts that are shared here. Not because black folks didn't have them already, but because we didn't. It is clearly a celebration of blackness which I fully support, but also of rich stories from generations of people who NEVER gave up, never made excuses, and certainly showed society who they were and what they could do. The people represented in this whole show have made it worth its weight in gold. The ties to Africa and the south were shocking to me. I never knew. What a shame we're not taught these things in school. Africans as a people have had such an influence on everything we eat. They should be honored.

I am so honored that I know the truth about what it means to eat soul food, my absolutely favorite way to eat anything, and its history. Thank you for creating a space for education that doesn't sugar coat truth but tells the story plainly.

I cannot wait to tell people of this treasure of a show. It is both informative and necessary. I hope this is the beginning of an important conversation.

I mean Mac and Cheese came from a guy who cooked for a president?! So stinking cool! He should have been paid in royalties for his absolute brilliance.

Beautiful highlight of Benin 🇧🇯 Kingdom of Dahomey.

It's so educational!!! You see how our culinary talent has continued to pierce the country even during a horrible time. It's exhilarating to see this talented young black man highlight other talented black chefs and street venders. Overall very intriguing & and yes I will be trying oysters thanks to this show :)

Ignore the poor reviews on this and enjoy this brief series on the roots and culture of African American cuisine. The host serves as both guide and culinary tourist. A great documentary series leaves me feeling that I had an inside look of something personal and profound and wanting to know more.
