I was thrilled when my favorite Southern belle, Cynthia, agreed to dine with me.  She and I met about four years ago, and she has become one of my favorite people. She’s a straight shooter, which means that she keeps it real.  She also has a heart of gold, and she is sweet as sweet tea.  I adore her impeccable style.  I call her the walking billboard for J.Crew.  Read about our dining experience below:
