I love lunch dates, and this lunch date was special because I spent it with a sweet lady from the Mississippi Delta. She grew up about 45 miles from where I was born and raised.  She graduated from Alabama A & M University and went on to medical school....

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ (Disney Part II)

TOUS les JOURS Cafe
