St. Augustine is a city of layers: Timucua, Spanish, British, African American, Minorcan, Greek. Each left something behind in the food, the architecture and the way people gather.

This journey concept is about walking those layers with someone who can read them, then sitting down to taste them. Think datil pepper, a family recipe, a conversation that runs long.

We're still identifying the local historians, cooks and hosts we'd want you to meet. Until we've verified them, this story stays a concept.
