The two Franks knew each other, but not for the reasons most people might know them.
Frank Stitt, the celebrated chef and co-owner of Highlands Bar and Grill, first got to know Frank McEwen, the founding father of McEwen & Sons grits, because Stitt bought feed for his horses from McEwen.
McEwen also owns Coosa Valley Milling & Hardware, a one-stop farm supply and mercantile store on the main drag in the small Shelby County town of Wilsonville. Stitt’s farm is a few miles up the highway in Harpersville.
