Lydia is a State Senator serving District 14 in the center of the state. Her experience in the restaurant business has equipped her perfectly to be Chair of the Senate Tourism Committee. And I can attest that she is an excellent chef.

I'm going to let Lydia tell you in a little bit about her latest venture "Southern Dish." My friend, Lydia Chassaniol. Lydia tell us where you are from and how you got here.
