made her a guest american breakfasta syndicated radio show I hosted on the Talk America Network from the Shawmat Diner here in New Bedford.
After welcoming Lee to a national audience, the first thing I asked was if I could call her Julia. After her show, I called her to thank her and her conversation continued.
We talked about recipes that have been passed down at diners. Lee was really surprised when I told her that her broadcast originated from her neighborhood diner.
Can you imagine my excitement when Lee called me and asked if I would write a quick synopsis and comment that if I was selected, I would spread her cookbook around the world?
Seeing my name and four others including Wolfgang Puck and Dick Clark blew me away.
