This episode was the first Road Food II have had the pleasure of watching. Collins did a fantastic job and he jumped in with both feet. The community embraced Misha in a genuine way, in great part because he came with openness and respect. I am not Dominican. I am from New Mexico. But this episode brought tears to my eyes and gave me hope for our country. Our diversity is America’s super power when we embrace it. It is clear Misha will always be “familia” when it comes to the Heights. This show brought down walls and replaced them with bridges

Misha said “Little Dominica” several times, and “Big Dominica” once. Dominica and Dominican Republica are 2 different countries. Why did the producers not correct him the first time he said it? If I was Dominican I would be annoyed that he didn’t take the time to learn the correct name.
