In this episode of Tharon’s Take, Tharon sits down with Georgia State Representative Eric Bell, a Democrat from Jonesboro, to talk about more than just lemon pepper wings — they explore how culture, memory, and policy intersect in Georgia. Bell explains why he introduced House Bill 1013, legislation that would designate lemon pepper as Georgia’s official chicken wing flavor.
The discussion covers how this flavor became culturally significant in communities across the state, how the legislative process works, and what it takes for a bill to move through the General Assembly.
This episode combines food, identity, and civics in a way that reflects both local culture and how everyday Georgians can engage with the policy process. Tune in to learn more about HB1013 and how ideas become law in Georgia.
