A middle school crush rekindled. A chance conversation in a golf cart. A reigning champ in 'Best of Georgia'. Beginning with parents who immigrated to the US to give their kids a better life (all 13 of them!!!), this is no exception to the pursuit of the American Dream and all the good that flows from the refusal to quit on your dreams.

Oh, and your taste buds. -- it's gonna be lights-out!

But to top it all off... this is the story of real perseverance with the timely kindness of a stranger; it's a "tastes-great-with-all-the-feels" episode of episodes. There's nothing complicated about this order; just a smiley and good-for-the-soul food. Welcome to TLC in Gainesville, GA.
