In 2016, we found ourselves combing through Warren's grandmother's handwritten recipes from a much simpler time. Born in 1907, Irene Simmons, "DeDe" to her grandchildren, was a loving woman devoted to her family. A consummate hostess, her parties were the talk of Charleston, SC. We began experimenting with DeDe's recipes, and time and time again, her Cheese Rounds were a clear favorite of family, friends, co-workers, and clients. In 2017, word (and Rounds!) had spread, and we were invited to participate as a vendor at thePeachtree Center Green Marketin downtown Atlanta. We had a fun season and definitely learned a lot at the Green Market. Halfway through the season, we were asked by Master Chef Tom Catherall to provide Cheese Rounds for a book signing at his restaurant for John Oates. With an obsession-level love for Hall & Oates since childhood, you can imagine how giddy Jen was watching John Oates enjoy our Cheese Rounds!
