Impressing judges with her fresh take on Southern cuisine, and winning over the audience with her impeccable charm, Southern spitfire Damaris Phillips outlasted 11 rival competitors to win Season 9 of “Food Network Star.” She then went on to celebrate the relationship between food and love on her show “Southern at Heart,” which aired five seasons on the Food Network. She now can be seen on the Food Network co-hosting “Southern & Hungry” with Rutledge Wood and “The Bobby Flay and Damaris Show” with Bobby Flay. Her first cookbook, “Southern Girl Meets Vegetarian Boy,” is scheduled to be released on Oct. 17 by Abrams Books.
