Kate is a photojournalist, not a chef, but as someone who's made photographs all over the South for decades, she has traveled far and wide on local roads and eaten countless meals in Southern gas stations.
You know the deal, the place that has the secret barbecue joint in the back, or these days it's just as likely to be a secret Indian buffet or maybe even a sushi restaurant.
Now she has documented these places and how they're often the center of their community, and she's just released a lovely photo book about them called Thank You.
