We're talking about Southern living.

I attribute my Southern guts to my Southern living.

You go for it and then you know who you are and you go get it.

And that is something that I treasure so deeply about being from the South, about being Southern is the hospitality and the love.

Love your neighbor as yourself, and I think we do a really good job of that.

I think that sometimes you rock and sometimes you roll and sometimes you look country,

and sometimes you're a little soul, and it's all Southern.

Hey everyone, I'm Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living and host of Biscuits and Jam.

Since 2020, I've been interviewing musicians, chefs, authors, and other Southern icons about their family traditions, their faith, their favorite meals, and of course, what it means to be Southern.

And I'm excited to announce that on Tuesday, February 20th,

we'll be launching season five of our award-winning podcast with legendary chef Jose Andres.

Join me every Tuesday for new conversations with some of the most interesting and influential

Southerners around. Well, Hoda, I just have one more question for you.

What does it mean to you to be Southern?

It's a warm hand on my heart.

It means that I found a place where I fit.

It means that I can slow down.

It means that I can be open.

It means that I can hug anybody I want.

That's really it.

Be sure to follow Biscuits and Jam wherever you get your podcast.
