We arrived in Jackson without any guidance on restaurants to try or sights to see. Fortunately, I was invited to do an in-studio interview on Midday Mississippi to promote the tour, and a guy at the TV station was kind enough to rattle off some of his favorites. He was talking about an Italian restaurant called Bravo when the Sommelier/Manager, Kelly, happened to walk into the studio for an interview after mine. He introduced us, and she invited us to come by. Voila! Dinner plans were made.

Although she probably had plenty on her plate (I love a good food cliché), Kelly remembered my name and seated us at a perfect outdoor table when we arrived, about eight hours after we’d met. The warm Mississippi night made for a pleasant al fresco dining experience.
