Delia Jo:
Bringing Light
to the Table
Food & Travel Writer • Southern Storyteller • Media Personality
hi y’all! I’m Delia Jo, a food and travel journalist, author, and founder of Disco Sol Studios.
For more than 17 years, I’ve followed restaurants, destinations, roadside discoveries, and the people behind them. Today, my work lives where food, travel, recovery, neurodivergence, memory, and community meet.
I’m always searching for the stories that bring people back to the table.
The Queso Trail
...Loading the wagons…
A cheese-your-own-adventure through regional queso, road-trip stops, and stories from the South is coming soon.
From Huntsville beginnings and El Palacio mythology to bowls worth pulling off the highway for, The Queso Trail is a growing guide to the dips that define a place.
We’re still circling the wagons, mapping the route, and making sure the cheese is worth the journey.
