“Just Two Crazy Kids in Love”.
“Somewhere between the whisper of a June bug and the steady hum of a summer afternoon, there’s a place where kitchens tell secrets in their own time. The South doesn’t rush; neither do its stories or its recipes. Down here, history sits at the table with you, and every dish—whether it’s a slice of warm pie or a plate of fried green tomatoes—has a tale stitched into it like the hem of a worn apron.
On the Cornbread & Buttermilk Podcast, Cornbread—who’s more of a maestro than a master of ceremonies—takes you through the backroads of Southern life, leading you by the smell of fresh cornbread and something simmering slow on the stove. And just behind him is Buttermilk, his soulmate, the woman who knows when to add a dash of this or pinch of that to turn a good story into something unforgettable.
This isn’t just any podcast. It’s a slow walk down memory lane, with your feet shuffling through red clay and the sound of crickets filling the silence. Cornbread and Buttermilk don’t just talk about food—they unearth its roots. They’ll show you the grit of agrarian life, the joy hidden in a garden row, and the reverence we hold for recipes that have seen more seasons than we have. They’ll pull back the curtain on what makes the Southern kitchen the holy ground of American cuisine and storytelling. You won’t just listen; you’ll sit at the table, ready to savor a slice of history with every episode.”
