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":"Hector Garate Is One of the Next Legends of Barbecue","slug":"hector-garate-is-one-of-the-next-legends-of-barbecue","published_at":"2026-09-15T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368/hector-garate-is-one-of-the-next-legends-of-barbecue","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biscuits-jam-408368","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE7970205108.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/MERE7970205108.mp3","summary":"Hector Garate is the owner and pitmaster behind the acclaimed Charleston, South Carolina, restaurant Palmira Barbecue. Born in Puerto Rico, he grew up with a deep love for his culture and his family’s cooking. During his teenage years, he moved with them to North Carolina and New York before settling in the Lowcountry. In 2024, after years of experimenting with different barbecue styles, he opened Palmira Barbecue, which Southern Living named the best new barbecue joint in the South. Now, Hector is bringing his style and personality to an even bigger audience as a contestant on Food Network’s Pitmasters, his first cooking competition show. Sid talks to Hector about the inspiration behind the name Palmira, his extensive collection of custom hats, and where he thinks barbecue is headed next.
