Dumpling Dilemma
While cooking a charity dinner with Southern-Korean chefs, Vivian spins out her version of French gnocchi to be served alongside Asian dumplings descended from the Chinese royal court tradition.

It's a Greens Thing
Vivian is invited to the annual homecoming celebration held by the Lumbee Indians in southeastern North Carolina. There Vivian is introduced to the Lumbees' famous collard sandwich and gets the chance to see the unique way they fix their greens: sauteing thinly sliced greens in rendered pork or sausage grease. She's struck by how the Lumbee method differs from the long-stewed pot of collards she grew up eating only about a 100 miles away. Her lessons with the Lumbees — the largest American Indian tribe east of the Mississippi river — prompts a discussion about the origin of Southern hospitality.

On a tour of eastern North Carolina barbecue joints, Vivian is reminded of traditions that define the area's version of pork barbecue while being introduced to new techniques.
