Why this Georgia bakery is crowned No. 1 in state by Food Republic

From beloved neighborhood bakeries to hidden gems serving up handcrafted treats, every state has a bakery worth putting on the map. A new feature from Food Republic highlights one bakery in each state, recognizing the businesses that stand out for their food, reputation and customer reviews. Georgia's pick combines two culinary traditions under one roof, bringing together artisan baking and a butcher counter. Here's which Georgia bakery made the list and what makes it stand out. Best bakery in Georgia Atlanta's Evergreen Butcher and Baker earned the honor for its naturally leavened sourdough baguettes, which also landed it on a New York Times list of the best bakeries in 2024. The bakery, located at 2011 Hosea L. Williams Dr. NE, is known for Vollkornbrot, a slightly tangy wholegrain rye, as well as buttery croissants and sausage rolls available in flavors like ham and cheese and chocolate. "Most bakeries don't have the benefit of a fully operational, artisan butcher counter, but young married couple Emma and Sean decided to utilize both of their talents at Evergreen Butcher + Baker," Food Republic wrote. The publication also pointed to the restaurant's Cheeseburger Sundays, featuring burgers served on fermented, house-baked sesame buns. .oembed-frame {

Kroger debuts 123,000-square-foot store in Locust Grove

LOCUST GROVE — Kroger officially opened its $39 million Locust Grove Marketplace on Friday, bringing a 123,000-square-foot grocery store, a 20-pump fuel center and 300 jobs to the Henry County community. Tammie Young-Ennaemba, head of communications and public affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division, explained why Locust Grove was a destination for the national grocery chain. “It's always a great opportunity to bring a grocery store into communities that are growing and vibrant as it relates to customers and just the economy in general,” Young-Ennaemba said. The store is the first Atlanta Division marketplace to have a 20-pump fuel center with a convenience store. The store also features a mural created by the University of Georgia's "Color the World Bright" team. Departments include fresh produce, bakery, deli, meat, household, toy and apparel departments. A Starbucks coffee shop is featured inside the building along with a Murray’s Cheese Shop. The store also features a full-service pharmacy with drive-thru access, a wine selection and a sushi station. Customers also can shop online and pick up their groceries curbside. Beyond its investment in the local economy, Kroger also emphasized its commitment to addressing food insecurity in the community. Kroger has a Zero Hunger |

Peanut butter on a hot dog? Even Mayor Miller is getting involved

Well, Macon, I’ve apparently started a controversy. And of all the things I could have possibly become known for in this wonderful city, I never imagined it would involve a hot dog, a jar of peanut butter and the Mayor of Macon! But here we are, and apparently my taste in hot dog toppings has become a matter of public discussion. Who knew that something so delicious could cause so much commotion? It all started during a recent episode of my Let’s Eat podcast about Macon Burger Week. One of my fellow Burger Squad members mentioned that cream cheese was an incredibly underrated topping for hamburgers. As we talked about unusual toppings, he suggested cream cheese might even be delicious on a hot dog. That’s when I casually mentioned that my absolute favorite hot dog topping is peanut butter. You would have thought I’d suggested putting motor oil on pancakes! The reactions were priceless, and apparently there are people walking among us who believe peanut butter belongs exclusively on sandwiches, crackers and celery sticks. To those people, I have just one thing to say. You’re missing out! I was recently on The Creek 100.9 on the morning show with Charles

The Hearty Breakfast At This Georgia Diner Makes Chain Restaurants Look Overpriced

This Georgia Restaurant Has Earned Local Awards For Its Steaks And Creative Burgers

Appetizers appear under Take Off, and side dishes have their own aviation-inspired names. I love a restaurant that commits to a theme this hard. The owners built the whole place around aviation, with flight photos lining the walls. It sits in a Georgia city that shares its home with a major Air Force base, so the theme feels earned.

These 10 Georgia Breakfast Spots Could Change Your Mind About Biscuits And Gravy
