When it comes to understanding another culture or even another time in history, Jennifer Justus believes in the power of food.

Justus is a food writer and the author of “Nashville Eats,” a cookbook that doubles — at times — as a history book about Nashville. She talked to WPLN’s Emily Siner in our live series Movers & Thinkers about how cuisine can cross cultural boundaries.

latest episode of our Movers & Thinkers podcast. Hear more of the conversation with Jennifer and two other Nashvillians working to preserve history by downloading our podcast
