Hey y'all, happy holidays and thanks for tuning in to a special holiday edition of Biscuits

and Jam. I'm your host, Sid Evans, and today we've got conversations with guests from

season five, some of which have never aired, about the unique

traditions and recipes that they share with their family and friends. You'll hear from Kimberly

Schlatman of Little Big Town, Celebrity Chef Tyler Florence, Brittany Spencer, Scotty McCreary,

and a lot more. We're going to kick things off today with the Alabama native chef and restaurant tour

Kelsey Barnard Clark,

who released a brand new cookbook

this past September called Southern Get Togethers.

Kelsey and I talked about

how her grandmother and great-grandmother

cared as much about the serving dishes

as they did about the food itself.

I'm imagining that in your family, there had to be some pretty big gatherings around the

holidays. Oh, yeah. Would you all go to Mobile or would you kind of hunker down in Dothan?

So my mom is one of six kids.

And a lot of the time, we would actually all meet at my parents, Ono Island Beach House

because it was just, there was just huge porch overlooking the water, a big kitchen,

a big kind of open area.

So we would meet there.

We didn't have like one tradition for Thanksgiving.

That's my biggest memory more than anything is we would always travel for Thanksgiving.
