From staff reports

ALBANY — Friends and family members celebrated “Mama Corine” Morris’ 96th birthday Sunday.

Mama Corine has been cooking for more than 75 years, and her son Xavier, the owner of Billy Boy’s Wings and BBQ in Albany, said, “She still cooks better than most everyone else, even at 96.”

While cooking runs in the family, few can approach Corine Morris’ skills and longevity in the kitchen.
