Madison's Mad FactsOriginally released in July, 2025, as a bonus feature for "The Six Shooter." In the episode, Madison devours Ma Benson's cornbread. So for this Mad Facts, Madison interviews professional Southern Cook, Toni Johnson, to talk about the history of cornbread, it's unique traits in different parts of the country and even shares her personal recipe for how to make your own homemade cornbread!
