Chef Neil Ravenna makes "Tomato Pie"
This is Neil Ravenna. Chef Neil Ravenna. And this is also a testament to how cool technology can be: Neil is a very, very, very old friend of mine. Knowing him goes so far back, it's almost a reptilian memory for me, it's so old. Therefore, finding him, via facebook, was something of a shock to my memory cells. I simply didn't think they worked that far back. Turns out even though I knew him as a kid in pre-1970 Vermont -- he's now gone even farther back to my old stomping ground, (the south.) And is currently a chef at Miss Melissa's Cafe in Moundville, AL! Holy Moses! This is from a podcast off their site called The Liars Table . I love it. Here he is cooking something so delicious that I'm going to have to go out and make it for us all tonight. Yes, Chef Neil Ravenna , you do need a cooking show. A cool one. Complete with Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauderdale on the radio over your grill and finishing by enjoying desert with you out in your Mary gro
