Heather McMahan: Steak House Side Dishes

After years of living in New York City and Los Angeles, the pandemic brought
comedian Heather McMahon back to her hometown of Atlanta, where she’s living
in her childhood home with her husband and ... her mother! If it sounds like a
sitcom, well, she’s working on that script right now.

Atlanta is home to Buford Highway, an off-the-beaten-path culinary wonderland
featuring 100 immigrant-owned restaurants, representing more than 20
countries.

Atlanta-based Food & Wine senior writer Jennifer Zyman joins the show to share
the history and highlights of Buford Highway, like Plaza Fiesta, a huge Mexican
marketplace where you can taste the latest Mexican TikTok trends.

And Heather and I chat about her huge, elaborate, Italian wedding cake  and the
tradition of assembling it in front of guests at the reception.
