Too Political
While I appreciate the commentary on Southern culture and Southern food, there seems an attempt to shame Southerners for their history as well as an overt attempt to replace Southern culture with another culture that someone else thinks is more suitable. Specifically, I will cite the "The New Old Country Store, Ep. 36" commentary about Cracker Barrel. The individual's perspective is more subjective commentary than objective historical commentary. The individual comes across with a moral superiority that is totally not Southern. Where's the humility that characterizes the South and the truly Southern people, of all races and genders? It's not in that particular commentary. I'm sure liberal Southerners and academia will praise her commentary to high heaven, but how is she any different than any other "outsider" journalist or photographer who came in and portrayed the South as a backwards, racist, ignorant mass of people? At our local Cracker Barrel, ironically you'll find more blacks than whites dining and enjoying the food. I wonder what she would think of that and how she would explain it with regards to food culture?Read full review »

I adore this podcast. It is entertaining and well-produced, and really shows the diversity of the South and all the people who make their home there.

Or like 99% Invisible and for Southern food specifically, which just makes it even more interesting. Gravy combines interesting food info with current culture, trends, and history. In a fascinating way that shows how Americans eat and live today. What's not to love?Read full review »
