ST. HELENA ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA – Today we’re visiting St. Helena in South Carolina, an island that’s preserved much of its Gullah Geechee and Lowcountry heritage, culture and food.

We have the honor of meeting up with Tony and Belinda Jones from Morning Glory Homestead – https://www.morninggloryhomestead.com/ to learn about Gullah Geechee history and cook a full farm to table southern USA, lowcountry meal. On the menu is one of the greatest dishes of all time, shrimp and okra, with local grits, rice, and fried whiting fish.

We picked our own okra from the farm, and cooked everything fresh Gullah Geechee style under the sweeping live oak trees.

Thank you again to Tony and Belinda Jones from Morning Glory Homestead – https://www.morninggloryhomestead.com/ for hosting me for this incredible Gullah Geechee food and cultural experience in South Carolina.

    What race put them on the boats and sold them to the democrats of the United States. Damn sure it wasn't a white man that put them on the boats…

    Mark thank you for visiting my mom (RIP) home state. She was from Saint Matthews which is more inland in Calhoun County near Orangeburg. She always said we was Geechie as in Gullah Geechie. I've never been to St. Helena Island but would love to visit this beautiful place.

    Mark Wein’s video does a better job in teaching us about different cultures and traditions than the most history classes

    I'm from the south, and I love shrimp and grits. Especially if they're made by someone who knows what to do. But THOSE shrimp are grits looked amazing. Kinda jealous lol

    You're a trooper for trying that okra Mark because I've had raw okra and it is slimy and disgusting. Now on the other hand, fried okra is amazing!!

    C'est vraiment une cuisine ouest africaine, il utilise le gombo pour presque tous leurs plats comme nous.
