For months, travelers on Ga. Highway 54 in Peachtree City have driven by a new development across from Publix and speculated on what new restaurants would be coming to their fair city.

Take your very best friend to Gumba's

Generally when you think of restaurants owned by a chef you think they must have been doing this their whole life. This is not so, however, for John Manzo, owner and operator of Peachtree City's newest rotisserie cafe.

Written in gold at the front of Fayetteville's newest Thai restaurant is "Sawasdee." That's a genuine way to say hello in Thai. But you'll be likely to get an English hello from friendly manager, Chancharas Sinphoon.

Our love affair with bacon shows no sign of ending

Every bit of it that could be saved was used in all kinds of recipes, particularly those that called for sauteeing "the trinity" of Cajun and/or Creole cooking: celery, onions and bell peppers.
