From
Down-Home Cooking to Exotic Cuisine
Chef at Chin-Chin prepares a fiery treat
There's so many dining choices in Coweta
and Fayette counties, where you get your food depends on your
mood. On those days you're feeling like something exotic, drop
into Teavana and sip on South African Roobius Oasis tea while
you enjoy a crisp,Oriental salad, then for dessert treat yourself
to Baklava. When you want local flavor, head over to Senoia
Coffeehouse to order a barbecue sandwich, down a cup of strong,
fresh-brewed coffee and grab a chocolate doughnut. It's the
best of both worlds here. World-class chefs present their upscale
cuisine in elegant restaurants. And just down the road, you'll
find eateries that specialize in homemade biscuits and gravy....
