As the first chill of autumn crawls through the pines and smoke from the chimneys rises, there’s nothing quite like a steaming bowl of chili and a skillet of cornbread to pull you back to a simpler time. But when Robbie Montgomery served up her cornbread to a hungry Tina Turner in the 1960s, it wasn’t just about feeding a legend—it was about preserving a piece of the South’s soul, a recipe passed down through hands that have felt joy, pain, and a touch of the unknown.
