Changing Tastes in the New South

Brooke Parkhurst and James Briscione have authored three cookbooks, hosted shows on the Food Network, and traveled the world. Briscione also served as director of culinary research at the Institute of Culinary Education. In November of 2017, the Pensacola, Florida, natives became the celebrity guests at the city’s Peat & Pearls, a celebration of Scotch and oysters. Shortly after this cover shoot, Parkhurst and Briscione partnered with Great Southern Restaurants, Studer Properties, and Jean Pierre N’Dione to open Angelena’s Italian restaurant in downtown Pensacola.
