Chef Art Smith giving life back to hometown with new school
Art Smith is coming home. The celebrity chef who has served his famous (and usually healthy) fried chicken to Oprah Winfrey and four U.S. presidents is returning to his birthplace in Jasper, Florida, a city rich with Southern charm and weeping willows. And he’s bringing along his entourage — a husband and five children — as he works to reinvigorate this city of just 1,600 people.
