Food writer extraordinaire and Southern Foodways Alliance director John T. Edge is answering questions this week on the New York Times Diner's Journal blog. He's already answered a handful, including one about Mary B's biscuits:
Q: We keep Mary B’s buttermilk biscuits in the freezer. Is (or was) there a real “Mary B”? — John Kane
John T. Edge replies: There was a real Mary B, the wife of the founder of the company. He started out making dumplings in Bagdad, Florida. Biscuits came later.
