After years of living in New York City and Los Angeles, the pandemic brought   
comedian [Heather McMahan ](https://heatherontour.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org)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 ](https://www.jenniferzyman.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org)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.
