Low Country COOKing with Valerie Erwin of Geechee Girl Rice Cafe

While Philly often feels like it has never-ending food options, Low Country cooking (traditionally the foodways of Georgia and South Carolina) may still be foreign to many of us Northerners. Valerie Erwin, formerly of Geechee Girl Rice Cafe, set out to give us a taste last Friday.
