Four Seasons’ Park 75 Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Hotel dinning can be the ultimate example of the slippery slope. On the one hand, many of the best chefs end up running those kitchens, so you get top notch talent. On the other hand, the chef’s id and ego are often held in check by the the massive corporation holding the checkbook to their …
Sauced Restaurant Review – Inman Park, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
