Every Monday on Global Comment, we share Something Special you don’t want to miss. To fit with the six core pillars of the magazine, these will alternate between the themes of watch / listen / read / see / taste / place.

There would be, as well, pimento cheese, hand-cut and battered onion rings, fried green tomatoes served with homemade buttermilk ranch dip.
