Today’s guest is Erika Council, biscuit-maker extraordinaire and owner of Bomb Biscuit Co. in Atlanta. Erika’s fluffy, buttery biscuits have earned her fans far and wide, and she’s also the author of the cookbook “Still We Rise: A Love Letter to the Southern Biscuit with over 70 Sweet and Savory Recipes,” which is a tribute to her family’s deep roots in the South and her culinary heritage.

Erika joins host Jessie Sheehan to discuss her journey from pop-up baker to brick-and-mortar success, the influence of her two grandmothers, and how bacon grease can be the mark of a true Southern cook. Erika also walks Jessie through The Bomb Buttermilk Biscuit recipe from her book.
