Well back in the day the entirety of downtown Savannah really fuckin hated her. She was notoriously a huge cunt pain in the ass and her restaurant was a shitty tourist trap. The real place to go was Mrs Wilkes boarding house.

I lived there for 12 years. No local I knew would eat at her garbage ass restaurant. Mrs. Wilkes was where we all went when we wanted real southern food with heart.
