Look who I ran into at the National Cornbread Festival 🌽🍳 Karen Jones AND family! I'm a huge fan of her YouTube channel (Karen Jones Food and Family) And she was just as sweet and precious in person as I knew she would be, especially considering a complete stranger just randomly walked by her and said, "Karen, hey I'm Mel from In The Kitchen With Momma Mel," and just proceeded to give her a big ole hug! 🤣❤️ She and Pop Jones were so kind and gracious to take a few minutes and get acquainted with me and Patrick. We got to meet some of the family that was with them, too. I just feel real blessed to have met these real good real people.
