Author	Topic: Alex Hitz loves his silver
June Martin Forum Master Posts: 1326 Registered: Apr 93	posted 09-23-2012 12:29 PM Alex Hitz is an Atlanta born celebrity chef, cookbook author, socialite, philanthropist and above all entertainment specialist extraordinaire. He has cooked for first ladies, movie stars and royalty. In this weekend's Wall Street Journal, he revealed in an interview that his Southern roots include an affinity for family silver and monogrammed linen napkins. Can you identify the soup spoon pattern and maker in the accompanying image? IP: Logged
