I see a lot of restaurants that get attention only due to social media and being new. I love that those restaurants are being seen, however not enough “older” restaurants that are great get showcased.
Remember when traveling OTP of Atlanta, some areas have a good mix of foods, and some you’ll realize are heavily culturally focused, which I love!
For Example: Duluth can be heavily Asian focused restaurants, so you’ll want to be in the Gwinnett area for your more authentic Asian dishes. Some areas of Roswell can be more Hispanic foods. Alpharetta is a mixing pot of American and Indian foods(but honestly a bit of everything).
So here’s a small spotlight on a mix of old and new restaurants that taste amazing that hopefully can be a new favorite for you as well! Happy Eating! 🍴

Took me dozens of failed bakes so you can skip straight to the good part.

On the other hand, strawberries are considered "aggregate fruits" because they form from multiple ovaries of a single flower.
