Michael Whidden

Darla Burton has been a resident of the Greenville, SC area for almost twenty years after moving there for college after growing up in a small northern Minnesota town.  Host Michael Whidden met Darla in April 2022 during a vacation in the Greenville area when he and his family ventured for their first-ever meal at Cracker Barrel, where she worked and took such gracious and friendly care of them.

Darla shares the fascinating story of her life, including:
*fond insights into Cracker Barrel
*how 0°F in Minnesota feels warmer than 30°F in South Carolina
*her quest for the right church community leading to her expansive family
*cuisine of South Carolina...and her household
*why a resident of twenty years may still be reluctant to speak for the Palmetto State
*a little about Niagara Falls, New York City, the Seattle Supersonics and Legos

Darla finds hope knowing that there is good and bad everywhere and that we have the ability to choose to find the good, whether it’s in the context of religion, region, ethnicity or occupation.
