Georgia “Classics” - Sprayberrys

Saturday, November 7th, 2009
By MARK E. JOHNSON, Brown’s Guides Restaurant Editor

Here’s another Georgia “Classic” Restaurant.mark.jpgNewnan’s Sprayberry’s has been serving up barbecue to satisfied customers for almost 80 years. I personally have been eating there since college days when I was a student at LaGrange College and traveling back and forth to my home in Atlanta. While that has not been quite 80, years it was definitely in the last century.

We’re ALWAYS interested in hearing about Georgia restaurants - barbecue and non-barbecue - that have been around for generations.

Tell me about your favorites and I’ll pass them along to other Brown’s Guides website visitors.

Tell Us, Is This a New Concept?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
By MARK E. JOHNSON, Brown’s Guides Restaurant Editor

mark.jpgIs there really such a thing as a “New Concept” in the restaurant business?

Decatur’s Iberian Pig thinks it has one, combining the tastes of Spain with an American social atmosphere. The focus of the menu is on traditional cured meats and Spanish cheeses, tapas, salads, cocas (flatbreads), and main plates. There is also major emphasis on wines from Spain, Chile and Argentina.

Give Iberian Pig a try and let me know if you think this is a new concept in the restaurant business or just a new wrinkle in restaurant marketing. I’ll pass along your reviews to other Brown’s Guides website visitors.

Here’s your connection to Decatur’s Iberian Pig.
