  • Summary

  • In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

  • Brenda Lee Is Still Rockin’

    Brenda Lee Is Still Rockin’
    Dec 17 2024
    Brenda Lee spent the early years of her life in Georgia, and though her family didn’t have a lot of money, they always made sure she had batteries to run the radio so she could listen to the Grand Ole Opry. Between that and singing at their Baptist church, her interest in music became clear, and her extraordinary talent became even clearer. She was still a kid when her mother moved the family to Missouri so she could be a part of a TV program called Ozark Jubilee, and she was signed to Decca Records soon after that. Over the next handful of years, she set a record for the number of top 10 hits by a woman, and she also recorded one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time when she was just 13 years old: “Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.” Sid talks to Brenda about her own Christmas traditions, her friendships with artists like Tanya Tucker and the late Kris Kristofferson, and her thoughts on the increased prominence of women in music over the course of her long career.

  • Jessica Harris Believes in a Welcome Table

    Jessica Harris Believes in a Welcome Table
    Dec 10 2024
    Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America, into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

  • Craig Conover’s Southern Charm

    Craig Conover’s Southern Charm
    Dec 3 2024
    Craig Conover is one of the longest running stars of Bravo’s reality show, Southern Charm, which means audiences have been following his roller-coaster dating and personal life for a decade now. But part of Craig’s charm is that he wasn’t always a city kid. He grew up near the beach in rural Delaware, where his dad built a construction business and his mom was a teacher. In high school, he discovered a passion for home ec class, where he learned to cook and sew, eventually preparing meals for his family and friends. Now, despite getting a law degree, Craig runs a business called Sewing Down South, producing pillows, blankets, and clothing, as well as a couple of restaurants in New York and Charleston. Sid talks to Craig about what we can expect from the 10th season of Southern Charm, how sewing and cooking have given him an unexpected career path, and the complicated dual-city life he shares with his girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo.
