Boston’s disappearing soul food traditions

Walking into Boston grocery stores these days, it’s hard not to notice what’s missing: the humble hog jowl, a cut of pork that’s the backbone of Hoppin’ John, a New Year’s Day tradition for many Black families. For generations, this dish has been more than just food—it’s a symbol of luck, survival, and freedom, rooted in the city’s African American history. But as neighborhoods change and longtime residents are pushed out, even the foods that tell our stories start to vanish from shelves. How do we keep our culture alive when the ingredients for our memories are harder to find? #Food #Boston #SoulFood

Athens’ soul food legend serves one last Thanksgiving

Dexter Weaver, the heart behind Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods, just pulled off his fourth—and possibly final—free Thanksgiving feast for Athens’ hungry and homeless. Even as he prepares to retire and sell his iconic restaurant, Mr. Weaver and a team of volunteers cooked all night, then served up plates to anyone who walked in. The event moved to a nearby fraternity house to fit the crowd, and started with a moving gospel service. Weaver’s “Automatic for the people” motto truly came alive—no one left hungry. What are your favorite memories of Weaver D’s? #Food #AthensGA #SoulFood
