Gravy is an audio-documentary production of the Southern Foodways Alliance that explores the evolving landscapes of the American South through its culinary traditions. Produced at the University of Mississippi, the series documents the intersections of labor, racial identity, and immigration by profiling unsung workers and historical preservation efforts. The James Beard Foundation named Gravy its Publication of the Year, affirming its role as a resource for professional researchers and culinary historians. Recent episodes investigate the environmental challenges facing Louisiana crawfish and the historical impact of George Washington Carver's agricultural legacy. The podcast frequently partners with heritage-focused brands like Lodge Cast Iron and Tabasco to deliver narrative-driven stories that move beyond stereotypical imagery. By focusing on immigrant contributions, such as those from West African and South Asian communities in Arkansas and Texas, Gravy provides a scholarly yet grounded look at how food mirrors the sociopolitical dynamics of a changing region.
