Evie McGee-Colbert grew up in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, the daughter of a true Southern hostess and a father who would take her to her dance classes on the handlebars of his bike. Now she’s got a cookbook out that leans heavily on the Lowcountry traditions she grew up with as well as the ones she’s built up with her own family in recent years, especially during the pandemic. The book is called Does This Taste Funny? Recipes Our Family Loves, and it’s co-written with a certain late night talk show host who happens to be her husband: Stephen Colbert. Sid talks to Evie about the Boykin spaniel who’s known to sit in on Late Show rehearsals, the controversial spoon story that’s been hanging around in their family for about 28 years, and why she dedicated the book to her late mother, Patti.
