Barbara Grant
Amazing people. Truly.
Barbara and Nick Grant are the parents of one of R’s good law school friends. Of their four kids, there are something like 10 advanced degrees, including bachelors, masters, doctorates and JD’s. With a successful family like this, you know that they’re eating well, and Barbara was more than kind enough to let us, and all of you, in on the secret. Feed your children this pie, and watch their IQ’s, and educational debt, skyrocket!
