Cornbread & Buttermilk, a southern culinary story
“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.”

Cornbread & Buttermilk, a southern culinary story
A secret Little Taste of Provence in Canton
There’s a street in Canton where the world tilts just slightly, and if you step through the doors of C’est la Vie, you find yourself no longer in a small Georgia town but in a place where eggs are gathered with reverence, butter melts like sunshine on bread, and cheese is tended with the same devotion we Southerners give to our biscuits. Folks may whisper that French cuisine is lofty, unreachable, meant for another sort of people altogether — but the truth is, it’s nothing more than the comfort of chicken roasted slow, greens tender as spring, fish kissed by the pan, and beef or pork set down with care.
And if you are fortunate enough to have Natalie guide you, she’ll tell you every dish with a sparkle that feels like gospel. I had the Quiche Lorraine, and in her telling it was as if the eggs themselves had a story to sing. At C’est la Vie, there is no reason to be afraid of the French kitchen. For here, in this little corner of Canton, you find a little taste of Provence — sunlit, comforting, and entirely at home.
