Well, Dunwoody, it appears we skipped Spring and fast forwarded to Summer.

Matt and Nicole, owners of Press, Blend, Squeeze “want to make healthy food and beverage choices easily accessible for everyone, while helping to educate consumers on specific ingredient benefits.”… Read More »

Thank you to all the folks who responded to our “Favorite Chinese Food” Survey. Most of the top choices are located really close to Dunwoody. This tells me that most people probably don’t like to venture too far from home for dinner on a regular basis. However, 9 of the top 20 are located on Buford Highway and all but one of those are practically within the same mile (see map insert). … Read More »

Actually, she would have known about it well before I read this article so I probably would have already gone there…..
I’ll check it out soon. … Read More »

Foodie Patty would LOVE Blue Top and I so wish she had been with me last night when I dined at this great new local restaurant. First of all, I just love the character of downtown Chamblee.

Fogo de Chão is an authentic Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, which has specialized in fire-roasting high-quality meats for 26 years. …Fogo is proudly gluten friendly but not vegan friendly…no surprise!!
