In this week’s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with legendary whole hog barbecue pitmaster Ed Mitchell and his son, Ryan, who’s helping to keep the family’s legend going. In addition to a new BBQ joint set to open in 2024, the duo have a new book out with co-author Zella Palmer called ‘Smoke & Fire’ that through recipes, essays, and personal stories delves into the deep history and traditions of North Carolina BBQ. Guided by their extremely large family, especially parents and grandparents, Ed and Ryan each came to BBQ in their own way. And while they knew the value it had in their own community, it took trips to New York City to show them just how big a deal they and their BBQ was.

In the South, talking about food is personal. It’s a way of sharing a part of your history, your family, your culture, and yourself. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, will sit down with celebrity musicians to hear stories of how they grew up, what inspired them, and how they’ve been shaped by Southern culture. Sid will take us back to some of their most cherished memories and traditions, the family meals they still think about, and their favorite places to eat on the road.
