First, Will and Chris talk about a list put out by Food & Wine of the 40 most influential restaurants in the past 40 years. There is some crossover from the list we covered by Robb Report, but this contains about 10 more southern restaurants! Then, they talk about a book Will is reading by Earl Swift called Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island. It is great non-fiction work, chronicling the work of Chesapeake Bay crabbers on a remote island, which has lost well over half its land mass since the late 1800s. Finally, they discuss the Wildsam filed guide on the American South.
