They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-15T16:18:07.251790+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368"},"episode":{"title":"George Motz Is Saving the American Hamburger","slug":"george-motz-is-saving-the-american-hamburger","published_at":"2026-04-07T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368/george-motz-is-saving-the-american-hamburger","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE4610782674.mp3?updated=1775060515","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE4610782674.mp3?updated=1775060515","summary":"George Motz is a self-proclaimed Burger Scholar, as well as an author, filmmaker, and TV host who’s been called the “foremost authority on hamburgers” by The New York Times. George grew up on Long Island, but he has deep family ties to South Carolina on his mother’s side. He spent a lot of time in the Lowcountry as a kid, soaking up the food and culture, which helped shape his lifelong passion for American cuisine. That passion eventually led him to create the 2004 documentary Hamburger America, which he produced, directed, shot, and edited himself. In 2016, he released his first cookbook, The Great American Burger Book, and he also brought his expertise to television as the host of Burger Land on the Travel Channel. And in 2023, George opened Hamburger America, an acclaimed restaurant in New York City where he’s serving some of the best burgers you’ll ever taste. Sid talks to George about the cultural significance of hamburgers, the men and women who make them, and what drives him to preserve and celebrate these American institutions.
