by Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection
In case you didn’t already know, I should tell you that I grew up just outside of Auburn, Alabama. I graduated from Auburn University (as did my father, husband and countless other people close to me including Foodie Patty). I also sent both of my children to Auburn University. … Read More »

The Select – I can’t believe I waited so long to go!!
by Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection
I eat at Flower Child in Sandy Springs often.

Well, hubby and I decided to take my parents for my dad’s 76th birthday this weekend. … Read More »
Yao Is A Yes!
Lunch with friends makes any meal better, but Yao doesn’t even need the help. Fans of the bustling Tum Pok Pok will love the upscale, refined Yao. Adidsara Weerasin and Taya Denmark opened Tum Pok Pok while waiting on the build-out for Yao and both are such gems.
Yao offers lunch, dinner, and now a dim sum brunch.… Read More »

I’ve traveled all over the state of Georgia watching my sons play baseball. Yes, I once was a “travel baseball mom”. I tell you this because travel baseball families eat out ALOT. You never know where you’ll be at meal time on a travel baseball weekend so you learn how to YELP well. … Read More »

Lunch with Lauren: Chamblee’s FūDO

We started with the grilled Brussel sprouts with creamy garlic ponzu.… Read More »
