In this episode, Sid Evans sits down with Ivy Odom—writer, recipe developer, television host, and now author of "My Southern Kitchen: From Suppers to Celebrations, Recipes for Every Occasion." Ivy shares how her childhood in Moultrie, Georgia, shaped her love of food and entertaining, what she learned from her parents and grandparents, and the path that led her from culinary school to Southern Living. She also talks about her dad’s competition barbecue team, Butts Unlimited, her passion for tailgating with the Georgia Bulldogs, and the legendary 18-layer chocolate cake that helped launch her career.
