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.

    Josh Mancuso May Be the Funniest Guy In College Football

    Josh Mancuso has been rooting for the Tennessee Vols since he could walk, but he’s also an actor, filmmaker, and director who knows how to tell a story. In 2020, with few prospects in the film business, he made a video on Instagram about an imaginary middle school coach who was taking over to the top job at Tennessee, and it went viral. After that, he started a series on the absurdity of college mascots, from the Delta State Fighting Okra to the TCU Horned Frogs, often playing multiple characters in the same video. Now Mancuso has almost 300,000 followers on Instagram, and he’s always got something new to say, especially in the middle of football season. Sid talks to Josh about his recent collaboration with country singer Walker Hayes, the hours of writing it can take to make a good video, and the high school coach who had a major impact on his life.

    Lainey Wilson, Southern Living Cover Star, Is Keeping Her People Close

    This week Sid talks to one of the biggest and brightest stars in country music – Lainey Wilson. Back in May, he drove up to Nashville and got to have this conversation in person at Lainey’s farmhouse outside of town. The occasion was a Southern Living cover shoot, and Lainey and Sid sat down on a pair of comfortable chairs in her speakeasy-style basement, which is where she writes a lot of her songs. Lainey couldn’t have been more welcoming as a host, even though she’d been touring nonstop for her latest album, Whirlwind. She’s also hosting the CMA Awards in mid-November, and she’s appearing in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him early next year. But Lainey has clearly not forgotten her small-town roots in Baskin, Louisiana, or the importance of good friends, family, and her faith. She talked a lot about how she stays grounded, how she keeps holding on despite a wild few years in Nashville, and the importance of keeping her people close. She also told some funny stories about her fiance, Devlin Hodges, who goes by Duck, and how she and her family celebrate Thanksgiving.

    Tiffany Derry Is the Best Thing on Food TV

    Texas-born Chef Tiffany Derry is quickly becoming a fan favorite in the world of food TV. She was raised in Beaumont, Texas, though most of her family came from nearby Port Allen, Louisiana, which meant the culture of both states had a big influence on her. She had about 50 cousins, so she was used to huge family gatherings and potlucks where everyone had to pitch in. Her interest in food took a professional turn when she got a job working at the International House of Pancakes when she was just 15, and that’s where she got her first taste of how restaurants work. Now, after traveling the world and expanding her food horizons, Tiffany is running a small empire of restaurants, including Radici Wood Fired Grill, that combine her Southern heritage and her obsession with international flavors. She’s launched the Shef Food & Wine festival in Grand Prairie, Texas, which is focused on women in the culinary arts, and she’s also become a popular judge on Fox’s MasterChef. Sid talks to Tiffany about her legendary fried chicken recipe, the hardest part of judging young chefs in a cooking competition, and her upcoming role as a presenter at Southern Living’s Illumination Charleston.

    Marcus King’s Blue Ridge Dreams

    Marcus King grew up in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains in a working class family with deep roots in music. His grandfather played country and western music; his uncle played bass guitar in the church; and his father played country, rock and roll, blues, and even gospel. But Marcus had grander ambitions than others in his family. He felt that South Carolina didn’t get the respect it deserved when it came to music, and he set out to travel the world and make a statement about what was possible. Now he’s out with a new album called Darling Blue, his first with the Marcus King band since 2018, and their live performances have been described by some as an almost spiritual experience. Sid talks to Marcus about the song about meeting his wife, what it was like collaborating with Billy Strings and Lainey Wilson, and the annual music festival that bears his name.

    Ivy Odom Just Wrote the Next Great Southern Cookbook

    Ivy Odom has in many ways become the face of Southern Living. In addition to creating videos about all things Southern on social media, Ivy is a writer, recipe developer, and television host. And now she’s also an author, with a brand new cookbook called My Southern Kitchen: From Suppers to Celebrations, Recipes for Every Occasion. The book is a collection of Ivy’s favorites from a lifetime at the stove, starting with her childhood in Moultrie, Georgia, where she learned to cook and entertain from her parents and grandparents. She actually started off her college years thinking she’d be a home ec teacher, but an early mentor persuaded her to look at culinary school and food media as a better fit for her ambitions. She finished first in her class at L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and then, thankfully, she landed here at Southern Living. Sid sat down with Ivy in the Southern Living offices and talked about all that, plus her Dad’s competition barbecue team called Butts Unlimited, her love of tailgating for the Georgia Bulldogs, and the astounding 18-layer chocolate cake that launched her career.

    Design Legend Charlotte Moss on the Southern Living Idea House

    Charlotte Moss was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia and went to college at VCU, where she was an English major. Her mother didn’t especially love to decorate, but Charlotte was inspired by her grandmother, who created a warm, welcoming home and made entertaining look easy. Charlotte had that gift too, but it never occurred to her that she could make a living decorating other people’s homes, so she spent several years in New York working on Wall Street. Realizing that she didn’t want to be a stockbroker, she quit the job, started an interior design business, and the rest is decorating history. Charlotte has since won just about every interior design award you can win; she’s written eleven books on interior design and gardening; and now she’s designed her first Southern Living Idea House, which reflects her incredible eye for detail in every room. Sid talks to Charlotte about the connection between design and hospitality, some lessons she learned on Wall Street, and the paint color she can’t live without. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Encore: Riley Green Wishes Grandpas Never Died

    Riley Green got his start playing in bars and restaurants around his hometown of Jacksonville, Alabama—and lately he’s been performing in stadiums for tens of thousands. He grew up with a close relationship with his two grandfathers, who were influential in his early musical development and who fueled his passion for the outdoors.  His song "I Wish Grandpas Never Died," a tribute to both of them, was a major hit back in 2019, and more recently he’s recorded a couple of duets with Ella Langley – one of which, “you look like you love me,” won a CMA Award last year. In some ways, Riley has gone back to his roots by opening a bar called the Duck Blind in Nashville, which has become a favorite hangout for some of the biggest names in country music. Sid talks to the rising star about the influence of his Southern upbringing, his love of Jacksonville State football, and his new song, “Jesus Saves.” 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

    How KIRBY’s Modern Soul Honors Her Family History

    The soulful musician known as KIRBY was born in Memphis, Tennessee, but she grew up in the tight-knit community of Eudora, Mississippi, surrounded by cousins, church choirs, and plenty of talented relatives who knew how to cook. Her grandmother, Cora, could lead a song as easily as she could deliver a baby—something she did often as one of the first midwives in DeSoto County. Now, more than a decade into her career, KIRBY is set to honor her legacy with her second studio album, Miss Black America—short for Mississippi Black America. It’s a deeply personal record that blends modern soul with family history, weaving the voices of her loved ones and the stories of her home state. Sid talks to KIRBY about the memories that have shaped her as an artist, the Stax Music Academy years that helped launch her career, and the musical legacy of the nearby plantation that shares her family’s last name. They also discuss the story behind her hit song “Loved By You” that took on a life of its own.
