Adrian Miller
Adrian Miller, the 'Soul Food Scholar,' is the historian of record for both soul food as a category and Black barbecue as a lineage. Soul Food and Black Smoke are the two books that together make the American barbecue story an accurate one.
He is also the historian of the Black White House. The President's Kitchen Cabinet restored the record of the enslaved and free Black cooks who fed every American president from Washington to Obama.
