North Carolina – Winner of the INSP Fan-Vote!

INSP fans, this one’s for you!
You voted, and we listened, adding The Tarheel State to Taylor’s tour!

North Carolina may be first in flight, but can it also be first in bite? On this episode of State Plate, Taylor Hicks will explore the farm-to-table flavors of a state famous for its Southern staples and slow-roasted meats. First, Taylor will pick a versatile native grape, used in everything from juice to jelly, and make a perfect spread for homemade biscuits. Then, he’ll weigh in on a BBQ battle royal that’s left a state divided on what constitutes “true ’cue.” Next, he’ll try two sides that feature farm-fresh greens. And finally, he’ll savor some homemade sweet potato pie, a true Carolina treat. It’s a Southern smorgasbord on this episode of State Plate.
