Evelyn Roughton and her family have run the popular Crown Restaurant in Indianola, Mississippi, for over 40 years, serving lunch deliciously to locals and visitors coming to the birthplace of the blues. The book includes a two-page memorial to B. B. King, whose museum is just down the street. The Crown has been host to the Food Network, Turner South, CNN, the Travel Channel, the New York Times, Southern Living, Bon Appetit, and Saveur magazine. It is the quintessential eatery for fans of southern cuisine with a taste of gourmet.
