I'm food and culture writer Alicia Kennedy. In anticipation of my forthcoming book On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites, I am talking to interesting folks about their own appetites and the origins of their food habits, pleasures, and beliefs.  

For the second episode, I'm talking to Ashanté M. Reese: a professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, co-editor of Black Food Matters and the author of Black Food Geographies and the forthcoming Gather: Black Food, Nourishment, and the Art of Togetherness.
