Edge is interested in the stories that can be told about people through discussions about food and how those stories may help lead to better understanding across cultural lines. His organization's mission statement reads: "The Southern Foodways Alliance documents, studies and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the changing American South. We set a common table where black and white, rich and poor-all who gather-may consider our history and our future in a spirit of reconciliation."
We relate to each other, for better or worse, over the bread we break and wine we spill together. No doubt about that, nor that Edge's talk should not be missed. Global Georgia - it goes well with most everything.
