"Chef Ryan White continues in chef Kelly Fields’ James Beard Award winning footsteps at this Southern bakery and restaurant in the CBD. Willa Jean, besides being all about the biscuit, conjures comfort food to the 10th power, dishes like chicken and waffles and grandma’s sausage gravy. And those shrimp and grits, swimming in an etouffee gravy floating with a perfectly poached egg." - Beth D'Addono
