Mark Wiens felt it was a deeply special experience to visit St. Louis, the historical birthplace of jollof rice, and witness the complex, multi-step cooking process firsthand. He was particularly impressed by the aromatic depth of the tomato-infused rice and the traditional technique of stuffing the fish with a potent spice paste. He described the final communal meal as the 'real deal' and the ultimate comfort food.
