by Lauren Townsend for The Aha! Connection Let’s talk about Cafe Sababa. I’m not sure how I didn’t know about this little gem until my friend, Felicia, mentioned it. I’ve walked past it numerous times on the way to Simply Thai, another one of my Dunwoody favorites. Cafe Sababa offers Mediterranean and middle eastern dishes […]

By Audra Anders for The Aha! Connection You’ve quite possibly eaten breakfast at Buttermilk Kitchen in Buckhead. If not, you need to go…and soon….but get there early and expect to wait a little while for a table. It is worth the wait…just ask my always hungry teenage boys. Buttermilk’s Chef, Suzanne Vizethann, is a local […]
by Lauren Townsend for The Aha! Connection Well, Dunwoody, it appears we skipped Spring and fast forwarded to Summer. The warmer weather usually serves as a reminder that I should get moving since I am about as active as a mushroom, but luckily, I have Press, Blend, Squeeze to help get me back on track. […]
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 […]
Several friends and acquaintances have reached out to me over the past few weeks telling me I just “had” to try Press, Blend Squeeze. I’ll admit. I was skeptical. I’m not a big Smoothie King fan and I assumed that it was just another one of those smoothie places or like Orange Julius or something. […]
by Audra Anders The Aha! Connection 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. Blue Top is nestled about midway in between two of my favorite […]
Note from Audra: Check out this great article that Lauren Townsend wrote for Atlanta Parent. Lauren works part-time for The Aha! Connection as our Instagram queen. I think I need to hook her up with Foodie Patty real soon! The restaurants on Buford Highway are a melting pot of international influences. Navigating the cuisine can […]
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!! Fairly new on our restaurant scene is the Dunwoody Fogo De Chao. The other Fogo in town (Buckhead) has been very successful, so I expect […]

Black Walnut Cafe in Peachtree Corners – My family dined here for Easter brunch and loved it. It was shockingly affordable. They save money by a “fast casual” ordering approach. I recommend getting your menu, choosing a table, sitting down to review the menu (it’s expansive and you’ll want time to look it over), then […]
Staplehouse 541 Edgewood Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30312 Set in the 4th Ward district for the past year and a half or so is a restaurant that is the hottest ticket in town. I know why. My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Staplehouse for my surprise birthday present several Friday nights […]
Fat Darrell works at UFC Gym-Perimeter. Okay, so Fat Darrell isn’t so fat at all. In fact, he’s in awesome shape. He told me recently that he’d give me a sandwich recipe for our “recipe of the week”. I was thinking it was probably a cucumber sandwich on rice cakes with protein powder or something […]
Feel free to click here to see all of Foodie Patty’s reviews so far…..she asked me a long time ago to create a map of the food origin countries for the cuisines that we have eaten….so here it is finally….. We’ve barely scratched the service and have a lot more food to eat. Stay tuned! […]
by Patty Moncrief After picking my daughter up from school on Wednesday, I told her that we needed to make a quick stop at Publix. After all of the protests, she began to negotiate. She would go to the store with me, if we could go to Da Vinci’s Donuts afterward. It was such a […]
