Todd Richards’ Soul Brunch

By: The Local Palate

Atlanta chef Todd Richards shows his roots in a new book and a menu fit for Mom

The inside covers of chef Todd Richards’ new cookbook are covered with a collage of childhood photos. In one, a young Richards poses with a homemade birthday cake. In another, his grandmother, Mary Wilson, tends to hot dogs charring on a grill.

“This is my mom here,” says Richards, extending a hand to the book, which sits open on the counter in his sun-dappled Grant Park kitchen. Valoria Viola “VV” Richards stands, smiling and squinting at the sun with one hand on her hip, in front of the brick exterior of Richards’ childhood home on the South Side of Chicago.
