We’ve gone to the have-to places: Mary Mac’s, Fox Bros, Flying Biscuit, The Colonnade, The Varsity… We’ve searched for Peter Chang, had boxtys on Peachtree, and the freshest pitas on Buford Highway. From the summer of college I lived in Norcross, we’ve there are dozens of places from that experience that we’ve kept…among them, Your Dekalb Farmers Market, our ‘Jewish Kroger’, and Bagel Palace.
