The way to a man or a woman’s heart (by way of the stomach)

The World

On Valentines Day, romance usually starts once the food is on the table. Couples will go out to a special restaurant and gaze into each others’ eyes over someone else’s cooking. But what about bringing the romance into the kitchen?

That’s what Pat and Gina Neely do everyday. They’re high school sweethearts, restaurant owners, and co-hosts of the Food Network show “Down Home with the Neelys.”
