Media reviews

"Smith takes great pride in sharing his secrets, which range from brining chicken before frying to adding sour cream to his pancakes, imparting both tang and tenderness. While these tips are not exactly revolutionary, the results will be for those who've previously attempted such dishes and gotten mediocre results."
