The Netflix docuseries “High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America,” based on the book by food historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris and hosted by food writer Stephen Satterfield, will be exploring class disparity, racism and the raw history of Black culture and slavery and its impact on the American cuisine. It’s “a story of Black America’s resilience, enduring creativity, and vital contribution to America’s kitchen,” said the creators of the show, which is set to debut May 26.
