Southern History of Fried Chicken
Long before Julia Child, James Beard or Anthony Bourdain, Mary Randolph helped define American cuisine.
A Virginia-born member of a plantation-owning and slave-holding family, Randolph had prominent connections.

Randolph’s knowledge of how to party led her to write the first cookbook published in America. Continue reading

The look of Kubys hasn’t changed much over the years
by Steven Doyle
