She plans to cook Southern, down-home meals that she learned from her grandmother and is hoping her brand of comfort food will be the talk of the town. She is currently waiting tables at Lou’s Joint and instead of quitting, she offers to buy the place. Lou Lou seems ready to make a deal and Amy shows up to talk to her, only when she arrives – Lou Lou is dead and she’s the prime suspect.
