I watched that movie about 10 times just for the ambience of that place. I loved the high ceilings, the open windows, the slow fans. The ironic little smile at the sheriff: "Can I interest you in some pie?" The food fights, the love & the loyalty. Plus, I'm a sucker for the Mississippi accent.

It's so neat to find out we have this in common. I've also been in just about every facet of food service. Bartender, dishwasher, cake decorator, pastry chef, souchef, Burger King way back . But I'll admit, I was the world's WORST waitress. I tried, but being THE NEW WAITRESS was like being in the 9th circle of hell. There's always that one waitperson who hazes you, and you either survive it or you don't. I wasn't tough enough, apparently!
