I've never heard of her either. What so fantastic about her? Not being snarky, just curious.

I met her a couple years ago at a foodie event. Parked right next to her. My friend had just said, "Oh I hope we see Virginia Willis." and bam! there she was.
She lives in Atlanta. She used to work with Nathalie Dupree (probably never heard of her either) -- southern cooks!

I miss Nathalie Dupree's show. I looked at Virginal's website. Her food looks delicious.
