Peanut butter on a hot dog? Even Mayor Miller is getting involved

Well, Macon, I’ve apparently started a controversy. And of all the things I could have possibly become known for in this wonderful city, I never imagined it would involve a hot dog, a jar of peanut butter and the Mayor of Macon! But here we are, and apparently my taste in hot dog toppings has become a matter of public discussion. Who knew that something so delicious could cause so much commotion? It all started during a recent episode of my Let’s Eat podcast about Macon Burger Week. One of my fellow Burger Squad members mentioned that cream cheese was an incredibly underrated topping for hamburgers. As we talked about unusual toppings, he suggested cream cheese might even be delicious on a hot dog. That’s when I casually mentioned that my absolute favorite hot dog topping is peanut butter. You would have thought I’d suggested putting motor oil on pancakes! The reactions were priceless, and apparently there are people walking among us who believe peanut butter belongs exclusively on sandwiches, crackers and celery sticks. To those people, I have just one thing to say. You’re missing out! I was recently on The Creek 100.9 on the morning show with Charles

A long road to motherhood: Inside Georgia's maternity care deserts

Until recently, the thought of a long drive never bothered Storm Savage. When the 23-year-old and her boyfriend left metro Atlanta and moved to Peach County, she made peace with their decision to settle into a rural home with goats and cattle within earshot. But now, she’s in her third trimester of pregnancy, and the highway is becoming grueling. Her twice-monthly, 60-mile roundtrip drives to Macon to see her OB-GYN are exhausting. Soon enough, she’ll have to make the trek every week. With each mile, a worrying scenario plays out in her mind: What if she goes into labor at home in Peach County and has to navigate the drive herself? Savage lives in what March of Dimes calls a maternity care desert — one of 69 Georgia counties with no birthing facilities or dedicated obstetric clinics, according to the nonprofit’s most recent report . With recent hospital closures and a dwindling number of physicians, Georgia finds itself among the worst places to have a child, especially for Black women, like Savage. It’s a problem that Mercer University’s School of Medicine has been working hard to combat for more than four decades. Yet, despite the school’s efforts, experts warn the
