To mark Independence Day on the Low & Slow Barbecue Show, we talk to 2023 James Beard Foundation Award Winner Hanna Raskin. And because she is absolutely an independent voice in food journalism (and a 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner), you know Hanna is preaching the gospel.

Hanna Raskin is the founder and editor of The Food Section, a newsletter about food and food culture in the South. In this episode, we talk with her about American Barbecue traditions on July 4th, her favorite plate of food for Independence Day, and the traditional recipe she wants to bring to the holiday potluck. We get Hanna’s insight on the importance of barbecue in the Carolinas, the best barbecue restaurant around, and of course, she answers all the questions in the Low and Slow showdown – including which barbecue is best, the East or the West.

Listen today, and you’ll also hear about her exit-by-exit guide for food along I-95, a project that helped her win a second James Beard Foundation Award.
