In this episode of Parish Porch, we sit down with Skipper McInnis and Amy Shamburger, two familiar faces now behind the scenes at one of Ascension Parish’s most beloved staples: Country Kitchen. For decades, this no-frills buffet has been serving up fried chicken, biscuits, and mashed potatoes that taste like home. But it’s more than just the food. It’s the stories, the people, and the legacy they’ve preserved since taking over from the original founders.
James shares personal memories of eating there as a kid, and together, they talk about what it means to run a business that’s become part of the fabric of the community. You’ll hear about the challenges of keeping things just the way folks remember them, and the pride that comes with honoring a place that so many call their second kitchen.
If you grew up around here, you’ve probably got your own Country Kitchen story. And if not, this episode might just make you want to start one.
