Syrup, Cast Iron, and Orange Beach

Potluck: A Podcast about Southern Culture

Will and Chris start off by going over some of their happenings over the Memorial Day weekend. This discussion devolves into a discussion of some different types of syrups. Then, they take a question written in by a listener about cooking with cast iron. And finally, they talk about a quite remarkable and illicit package washing up on the shore in Orange Beach, AL.
