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.
