Food Editor Virginia Heffington Fights with Liberace

In doing some research about newspaper food editor Virginia Heffington, I came across this funny clip about a fight she had with Liberace.

According to the article, Heffington said: “I think we should forget the story because you’re a better piano player than you are a cook. Your beef stroganoff tastes more like canned beef stew.”

Newspaper food editors often interviewed celebrities about their cooking.
