Jimmy Villas is a great raconteur and terrific Southern cook, transplanted to the Hamptons on The East End of Long Island. Faith has eaten Jimmy’s excellent homemade biscuits with jam, a fact she mentions only to get a dinner invitation. And if she does get one, she wants him to make this terrific skillet hash. The secret ingredient is a small amount of bacon grease.
