What if food could heal what politics has divided?
In this episode of The Sovereign Kitchen Society, Molly Bravo sits down with sociologist and founder of AuthenticFood.com, Dr. Janna Tamargo, to explore how ancient Turkish taverns—known as meyhanes—hold the secret to reconnection in a fractured world. Rooted in centuries of gathering, music, and unhurried meals, the meyhane reminds us what it means to sit down, disagree with grace, and rediscover common ground over good food and conversation.
From Istanbul to Santa Cruz, this conversation dives deep into authenticity, belonging, and how real food can bring us back to center - one shared table at a time.
