Two years, two Beards. Last night Gravy, hosted by Tina Antolini, accepted its second consecutive James Beard Foundation Award, this time in the Podcast category.
We are deeply indebted to the people who have shared their stories with us—stories of an American South that is evolving, accommodating new immigrants, adopting new traditions, and maintaining old ones.
