I was watching Mind of a Chef when this popped up! Luckily this section was posted on YouTube.
Do I believe this history of the watermelon? I don't know.
I think a little research would be interesting.
Watermelons mentioned are the Lawson, the most desirable, and also the Carolina Sweet and Mountain Sweet. Another history on the NPR site of the Lawson, (also called the Bradford melon) gives more information from the Bradford family. It's a great article, well worth reading!
