Home Plate Cooking

Chef Marvin Woods, Charleston, SC

Chef Marvin Woods of "Home Plate" cooking on Turner South TV was at the hospital for a book signing this afternoon. I spotting shy members of our cafeteria staff peaking out with curiosity realizing they recognized him from his show. When I suggested it, he charmed them all by walking through the back kitchen, posing for pictures, signing autographs and hearing about who really makes the best red rice in the lowcountry. According to us, we do! :)

I am slow. It just dawned on me now that I am supposed to wear my autographed bandanna on my head. Classier than a hairnet I guess.
