by Joe York and the Center for Documentary Projects.  A documentary that chronicles the SFA’s rebuilding of the Scotch House, a New Orleans restaurant operated by 92-year-old fried chicken maven Willie Mae Seaton.

A few of us from CSSC visited Willie Mae’s last week and enjoyed her incomparable fried chicken.
