In the first installment of our three-part series, The Search for Jacksonville's Food Identity, Rich Herrera sits down with Jacksonville native and author Bill Delaney to explore why a city with nearly a million residents still struggles to establish a distinctive culinary identity. Bill, known for his work highlighting the city's hidden gems in Secret Jacksonville: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure, shares insights into Jacksonville's rich but often overlooked culinary history. Together, they delve into the city's cultural influences, historical context, and the factors that have shaped its food scene—or the lack thereof. Join us on this journey through Jacksonville's past and present as we seek to uncover the essence of its culinary soul.
