The chain of barrier islands that skirts the coast of North Carolina from the Virginia border to Cape Lookout was once remote. Today the Outer Banks is one of America’s most popular vacation destinations; welcoming millions of visitors each year! We had the opportunity to sit down with author and Outer Banks native Clark Twiddy. He chronicles the region's journey from isolation to popularity through the stories of innovators and risktakers.Clark Twiddy grew up in Duck, NC and has watched much of the transformation he discusses in his new book "Outer Banks Visionaries: Building North Carolina’s Oceanfront." He was in the U.S. Navy and is an alumnus of Virginia Military Institute, the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. He is now the president of Twiddy and Company, a hospitality and asset management firm that was founded in 1978 along the OBX. He has also served in many public, private and nonprofit roles. More info: https://www.twiddy.com/blog/outer-banks-visionaries/?gclid=CjwKCAjwgsqoBhBNEiwAwe5w00_jwbCKzj4iN9MnyKl9Q58vsQvXVnKkhlWeFm_AceYunQaUPIuUihoCuSEQAvD_BwETwiddy Rentals: https://www.twiddy.com/"Outer Banks Visionaires: Building North Carolina’s Oceanfront": https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/9781467153911Stay Connected:Subscribe to our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e3cef217a5e7/sweetnewsText a friend with a link to the show https://pod.link/1442852139Support this Show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/272163da-d825-415c-8092-bd907aba8ebd/donationsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

We have found two Southern Jewish women that share our passion in preserving history around the dinner table!We are sitting down with Rachel Gordon Barnett and Lyssa Kligman Harvey, two lifelong South Carolinians, to discuss the intersection of traditional Jewish dishes with classic Southern ingredients and African American culinary traditions. The American South boasts some of the oldest communities of people of Jewish faith. In the 1600s Jewish people began settling in Charleston, South Carolina, and by the 1700s South Carolina had the largest Jewish population in the United States. The family recipes and the stories that accompany their origins and adaptations in the American South reveal the deep and storied lives of Jewish people, families, and communities across America.Find out more about Rachel and Lyssa's book and project Kugels and Collards: https://kugelsandcollards.org/Stay Connected:Subscribe to our newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e3cef217a5e7/sweetnewsText a friend with a link to the show https://pod.link/1442852139Support this Show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/272163da-d825-415c-8092-bd907aba8ebd/donationsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/steel-magnolias-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Dockery Farms was established by Will Dockery in 1895 to produce cotton, America’s most important export of the 19th and early 20th century. African Americans who came to Dockery to cultivate cotton created a culture that inspired the music we know as the Blues. In the words of B.B. King “You might say it all started right here.” We took a trip to see the farm for ourselves on the Mississippi Blues Trail so meet as at the table for more adventures from the Delta….   If you follow this show closely you know that at the end of March we visited Mississippi for the 2nd time since having this podcast… that’s the only 2 times we’ve ever been and there is SO much to learn about the history and culture there that we have divided up episodes from our recent trip to share with you.

A destination in its own right with its vibrant, downtown shops and restaurants must see attractions and great hotels. The charming Delta town of Cleveland, Mississippi is just over 100 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. A city of 12,000 named after President Grover Cleveland, the town began formation in 1869 as people moved inland from the Mississippi River. Join us as we explore the adventures we had in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Sunday Dinner in the South was once a staple that would never have been missed no matter what demands were on the family.  These days the schedules are tighter and the food requests are lighter. Today we’re taking a look at what makes this tradition important and sit down with Lauren McDuffie, a Charleston, SC-based cookbook author, food writer, stylist and photographer for some ideas on how we can lighten up Sunday Dinner in the South.   We got to catch up with Lauren McDuffie creator of the popular recipe website, My Kitchen Little.
