023: STACEY LITTLE - What Makes Southern Food Southern?

Southern food—we all love it. But what exactly is it? And why does it make you want to slap your grandma? Is it the creaminess of pimento mac and cheese? Or the flaky goodness of rough puff biscuits? Or what about the nutty scent of pecan chewies roasting in the oven? Stacey Little from @southernbite joins us to discuss what makes southern food southern and why it may be simpler than we thought.
