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.

Katie Lee Biegel grew up in Milton, West Virginia, descended from a long line of women who really knew how to cook. Her grandparents had a big vegetable garden and canned their own green beans and tomatoes. Her great grandmother won blue ribbons for her angel food cake, her great aunt was a fabulous cook, and all of them instilled in her a love for comfort food and hospitality that she’s carried all her life. After getting a lot of attention in the media for her marriage to Billy Joel at age 23, she started writing cookbooks, landed a gig hosting Top Chef, wrote a novel about surfing, and eventually became a co-host of The Kitchen on the Food Network, which she’s now been doing for 11 seasons. These days, Katie is busier than ever, with a new movie coming out on the Hallmark Channel called Catch of the Day, which she produced and co-wrote, and a 5 year-old daughter who does not love vegetables. Sid talks to Katie about her Appalachian roots, her favorite restaurant ever, her recipe for sweet tea oven fried chicken, and her family’s Christmas tradition in West Virginia.
