Birthday Dinner, Biscuits, and Chinese Food

Potluck: A Podcast about Southern Culture

First, Will gives an update on his birthday dinner, which was at Black Rabbit in Nashville. Then, they talk about an NPR article about biscuits, which leads to a broader biscuit discussion. You can read that article here. Then, they discuss an article from the LA Times called "Finding Chinese food, and home, in Nashville, Tennessee." It's a fascinating read about relating to family through food traditions, which has a connection to Will and Chris's city.
