Georgia Restaurants with MARK JOHNSON, Brown’s Guides Restaurant Editor

Australian Bakery Café on the Square in Marietta bakes authentic Aussie meat pies in its Marietta ovens and ships them all over the country.

Expatriates from Australia and New Zealand living all over the US are loyal, regular customers.

Brown’s Guides is looking for other Georgia restaurants that prepare an AUTHENTIC signature “national” dish and ship it to loyal fans living elsewhere.

Send me your recommendations and I’ll pass them along to Brown’s Guides website visitors and give you a credit line.

About Georgia Restaurants… By MARK JOHNSON

Carrollton’s Plates on the Square restaurant has big ambitions (see post earlier today). It says it wants to provide an “upscale dining experience” unlike any previously available in its northwest region of Georgia.

Now that’s a big territory: from Lookout Mountain, to Blue Ridge to Bremen.

Can they do it? What’s the competition?

Tell me what you think are the “upscale dining experiences” in Northwest Georgia and I’ll investigate.
