Lunch with Lauren: NFA Burger

by Lauren Townsend for The Aha! Connection

I finally stopped into the Chevron on Chamblee Dunwoody to try NFA Burger. Despite the hype, I hadn’t made it in.

For those who don’t know, NFA Burger is helmed by Dunwoody resident, Billy Kramer, who is well known for his burger pop-ups around Atlanta.… Read More »

Once the sprouts were done, I tossed the mix in the pan to add flavor and more caramelization.… Read More »
