Hey everyone, Sid Evans here from Biscuits and Jam. This week, we're sharing an episode from

another podcast we love. Here's Homemade from All Recipes featuring Carla Hall talking about her

southern roots and global influences with host Marty Duncan.

I absolutely love meatloaf.

I had it at this restaurant called the Marshall in New York City,

and I had ordered this meatloaf Rubin, and I sat there,

and it was such a visceral memory for me that I started crying as I was eating the sandwich.

I knew you were going to say that. Isn't it funny how food can just transform? It's like music. When you hear a song, it takes you back to a place and time. Yes. And I think food does the same

thing. The smells and the taste, they transport you back to wherever that memory is embedded.

Welcome to homemade from all recipes.

I'm Marty Duncan.

On this podcast, we celebrate not just good food,

which is so much a part of all of our lives, but also the people and the stories behind

that food. And my guest today has really lived the life. Whether you followed her on her

top chef journey or tuned in to watch her every day on the Chew, former model turned chef

Carla Hall has won our hearts with her quirky style, her southern twang, and her fearless

enthusiasm. I'm Carla Hall. And I'm Jacques Pepin. And today we're Carla and Jacques. That's

it. Let's cook. Let's cook. Carla's motto, always cook with love, makes her our perfect guest. Welcome to homemade Carla Hall. Marty, it's so good to hear your voice. Your voice is like a warm blanket. I have to tell you. It is. Oh, gosh. I don't know. Sometimes I hear myself and I'm like, oh, girl, you have got to do something.

But you know, the weirdest thing is, Carlos, if I talk to somebody with a different accent, I pick up that accent. I do too. Do you really? I do. People say it's good. Like you're showing empathy by kind of, and I feel like I'm insulting them by saying, oh, really? And then what did you do? Right, right, right. Oh, you do? Really?

Like, I saw your interview with Jack Pepin and I, you know, I catch myself. Like, I would have been talking just like him. Like, I would have said, and then I put in the, take a little bit of God. But, oh, my God, he's so charming and y'all were so cute together.

I love Jacques Papin.

He is amazing.
