Food Stuff
I’ve complained before in this space about the attention that Augusta gets from outsiders. Particularly during Masters, it seems that journalists from all over the world know what’s best for and about our city. So when Buona Caffe recently posted to Facebook that they’d be recognized by a website as one of the best restaurants […]
Restoring People and Places
Fifty years ago it was a pond and, for the past 15 or so years, it sat vacant. This past April, however, the open field on Wheeler Road across from Surrey Center became home to Fireside Fresh. This market, selling everything from fresh vegetables and fruits to plants, local honey, canned goods, skincare products and […]

Summer in Augusta means one thing for a lot of people: Pilgrimages to Tybee Island. And while the drive can’t be described as anywhere close to fun, there is now a reason to make a pit stop in Statesboro: Eagle Creek Brewery.

At Frog Hollow Tavern and Farmhaus Burger, Wight is known for relying on mostly locally sourced products, pickling his own fruits and vegetables, creating concoctions like bacon jam and Woo sauce (his own Worcestershire […]
Tomorrow! Spring Fest @ Lady A
With two years under its belt, the ETCP Spring Fest has become synonymous with craft beer, delicious food and great live music. This year, however, the festival has a new purpose: raising money for Jordan’s House. Twenty percent of the day’s proceeds, in fact, will go to the organization named after Metro Spirit Publisher Joe […]
Craft & Vine Promotes Cocktail Lifestyle
The success of Frog Hollow Tavern and Farmhaus Burger have cemented Sean Wight’s reputation in Augusta, and especially downtown, as a great chef able to come up with inventive restaurant concepts. The third in his ever-expanding empire is just as inventive, although the restaurant and the bar have equal value. “It’s more of a bar […]
Filling Empty Bowls
For the 13th year in Augusta, the Augusta Jewish Community Center (AJCC) and Golden Harvest Food Bank bring together the community to end hunger together through Empty Bowl 2014. “I don’t know if this is why it’s so popular, but Empty Bowl does involve the entire community,” said event Chair Susan Steinberg. “It’s the schools, […]
Something for everyone at Andrew’s Place
Open since the beginning of the year, Andrew’s Place in Furys Ferry Station has spent the past two months searching for its niche and they’ve hit upon a concept they’re sure will work: a high-end bar and grille that offers something for everyone. Originally conceptualized as a fine-dining restaurant, Andrew’s has gotten rid of the […]
