Southern Living

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. read less

Our Editor's Take

There are few things more Southern than delicious food, inspired music, and strong family relationships. These are core elements of Southern culture and the people shaped by it. Biscuits & Jam is a conversational podcast that explores those elements through intimate interviews and storytelling.

There's a reason people bond over food, and it's more than the taste. Deep conversations, meaningful connections, and lifelong friendships are often forged over excellent meals. Food is the ultimate conversation starter. It goes beyond what is on the plate, it's about personal connection. Food influences culture, connects family, and contributes to individual and community identity. That's why Biscuits & Jam creates a conversation with food at the center.

Southern Living's Sid Evans is an engaging and friendly host. He connects with famous musicians through a shared love of food, music, and family. Biscuits & Jam is an open space for celebrities of the music world to share their experiences. From Dolly Parton to Willie Nelson and beyond, it's a star-studded guest list. Tune in for big names, casual conversation, and Southern charm. These music stars share their Southern origin stories and personal memories. Food, of course, is at the center of it all.

What meals do these celebrities crave on the road? Do they have favorite restaurants they visit on tour? What are their favorite family food memories? These are the types of food-related questions that open the door for fascinating insights. What starts with tasty food ends with honest conversation and a profound personal connection.

This podcast is for fans of authentic Southern culture, charming musical celebrities, and the stories that shaped their lives. Biscuits & Jam feels like a soul-nourishing conversation between dear friends sharing a fine Southern meal.

Fawn Weaver’s Whiskey Rebellion

Fawn Weaver’s Whiskey Rebellion
Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, a former slave who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she’s since launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business. Fawn stopped by the Southern Living offices on her recent book tour, so we had this conversation in our studio, and her personal journey is just as amazing as the man she’s writing about. Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller, is called Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest. Sid talks to Fawn about the process of reporting this incredible book, the foundation she created for Nearest Green’s descendants, and why she grew up with people like Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson at her kitchen table.

Tyler Florence Is Heating Up the Grill

Tyler Florence Is Heating Up the Grill
Tyler Florence is a Southern chef and Food Network star who, after 16 previous cookbooks, is finally releasing one that focuses on his passion for grilling. Tyler has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager in Greenville, South Carolina. Since then he’s lived and worked in Charleston, New York City and, for more than a decade now, California – where he and his partners run several high profile restaurants. But as Tyler likes to say, “you can take the boy out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the boy.” And now in addition to his restaurants, a food festival tour, and his extensive run of shows on the Food Network, his new book rekindles his love of cooking outside. It’s called American Grill: 125 Recipes for Mastering Live Fire, and it’s fair to say Tyler is fired up about it. Tyler talks to Sid about why it took him a while to get around to this one, the way he discovered his interest in cooking at a young age, plus the absolute best way to grill a streak. He also explains why grilling is a chance to slow down and connect with the outdoors.  For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Biscuits & Jam is produced by: Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Michael Onufrak - Audio Engineer/Producer Jeremiah McVay - Producer/Audio Editor Jennifer Del Sole - Director of Audio Growth Strategy & Operations Learn more about your ad choices.
