I remember my mother being equally as excited as Miss Cathy over Vidalia onion season.

“Our hands are tied,” said East Georgia Healthcare Center CEO Jennie Wren Denmark, whose agency runs 13 clinics, including one in Vidalia, home of the celebrated Vidalia onion.

The ground around tiny Cobbtown, Ga., is also perfect for growing onions—it’s just northeast of Vidalia, world-famous for the Vidalia onion.

You once advised me to get shoes the color of the skin of a Vidalia onion.

Its menu features healthy options like kale chicken salads and beet smoothies and popular local classics like fried shrimp and sweet Vidalia onion straws.
