It Ain't Your Mama's Fried Chicken

Lovie has been cooking for 49 years. Yes, you heard that right — she started at the age of six. She learned from her southern-born Mississippi grandmother with the same name: Lovie Mae. She sat at her grandmother's feet and learned the art of frying chicken and fish Mississippi style, along with Southern-style collard greens, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, icebox pie and a host of other Southern dishes.

When other children were outside playing, she was cooking for a household of many. She didn't like it much back then — but as a young adult she fell in love with cooking and preparing her food with love.

As an adult, Lovie mastered many types of dishes and cuisines. When she ventures into a new style or culture, she nails it. She has received personal training from a few well-known celebrity chefs, and we believe the love she puts into her cooking is the main thing people enjoy.

We invite you to sample that love — start with her fried chicken. Then you'll know what we're talking about.
