To be Southern means to be caring.

I don't think it's possible to be Southern.

He's a good Southern and without having real care and concern for people and having care and concern for your community.

What does it mean to you to be Southern?

The South has given me my value system. It means when I say yes, ma'am or no, ma'am,

this isn't me. It's just showing my respect. It means, oh, man, don't give me no unsweetened tea.

Hey, y'all, it's Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living. Biscuits and Jam is returning for season seven on April 7th.

Join me every Tuesday as I sit down with Southern icons to hear their stories about family,

food, music, traditions, and the things they love about the South.

Country music is having a moment, and I'm proud to be a part of that moment and I'm proud

to celebrate my buddies who are doing the day thing. I love American music and for me, my favorite

styles of American music all seem to have been birthed in the South and I'm very proud of

that fact and I'm very thankful. Southern by the grace of God is what they say, right?

Tune in on Tuesday, April 7th as we kick off the season with Burger Scholar,

author, TV hosts, and restaurateur George Motes.

I was so fascinated by Southern culture, specifically low-country culture,

that I would try to spend as much time as possible with my aunts and uncles and had a great time down there. The first thing I thought was this is food you can't get in New York.
