Hey y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm your host, Sid Evans, and today I'm talking with a guy who moved to Charleston, South Carolina for college about 18 years ago,

and in many ways, he's become the talk of the town.

Craig Conover is one of the longest running stars of Bravo's reality

show, Southern Charm, which means audiences have been following his roller coaster dating and

personal life for a decade now. But part of Craig's charm is that he wasn't always a city kid.

He grew up near the beach in rural Delaware, where his dad built a

construction business, and his mom was a teacher. In high school, he discovered a passion

for home at class, where he learned to cook and sew, eventually preparing meals for his family

and friends. Now Craig runs a business called Sewing Down South,

producing pillows, blankets, and clothing, as well as a couple of restaurants in New York and

Charleston. We'll talk about all that, including what we can expect from the 10th season of

Southern Charm, how sewing and cooking have given him an unexpected career path, and the

complicated life he shares with his girlfriend, Paige to Sorbo, all on this week's Biscuits

and Jam.

Craig Conover, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thanks for having me, Sin.

Where am I reaching you right now?

I am currently in Charleston, South Carolina, which is my home base. I split time between here in New York City where my girlfriend lives, though, but this has been my home base

since 2006 I moved here.

And what part of town are you in?

So I'm in Mount Pleasant, actually.
