I live in the peanut capital of the world. Literally: It’s our town slogan. We grow, sell, shuck, roast, boil, bake, and talk peanuts. When you’re “famous” here, you get a life-size peanut replica of yourself to proudly display in front of your business. A Top Chef peanut wearing a green apron, high ponytail, and knife roll sits in the courtyard of KBC. She’s holding a tray of oysters in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other. She’s more popular for fan photos than I am. Smal
