Oprah Winfrey, Sidney Poitier, Governor Lamar Alexander, Alex Haley,and Willie Crawford

What does this distinguised group of people have
in common?

They all absolutely flipped when first tasting the
amazing, old-fashioned southern cooking of Dave
Franks.

Dave, who has turned into a friend, actually drove
down to Florida today to chat with me for a little
while. We sat on the back of his truck, semi-shaded,
and talked about many things including the cookbook
business which we are both in.

Dave cooks some of the most amazing pork barbecue
that you've ever tasted. He has a portable kitchen
where he can cook up a dozen pork butts, deep fry
several turkeys (or whatever else he wants to
throw into his deep fryers, and half-a-dozen other
things all at once.

Being in his 70's Dave now enjoys cooking just for
the fun of it. He's not for hire. Dave and I share
a lot of things in common,including having served
in the U.S. Air Force and having traveled to many
of the same places. It was only natural that we
would hit it off.

How did I discover Dave? I've been publishing a
recipe list from one of my cooking sites for
about 8 years. Dave has been on that list for a
long time :-)

Anyway, go grab a copy of Dave's new cookbook,
"Foods Of The Southland." My copy is autographed.
If you let us know on the orderform, we can get
yours autographed too. Get your copy now at:

You'll love this cookbook. Us marketers DO need
to stop and eat every now and then... we just
need to eat the right stuff. Dave's food is
GOOD and good for you ;-)
