Love this profile on Chef Robert Butts from @sarrasedghi.bsky.social. Robert is now over at Auburn Angel and recently launched The New South Dinner series. He also talks about the importance of supporting not only local chefs, but our farmers. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/02/06/a...

My favorite place on the planet, hands down, is YDFM. I grew up there (mom was a caterer) & even can credit (partially) getting into college because of it. Love this little glimpse into its history & future 💕

I’m always overwhelmed when I shop at YDFM but I wouldn’t have it any other way because I love this market so much. Read about the owner’s philosophy of finding order, cooperation, and community in the chaos at YDFM. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/01/24/h...

In 1972, Atlanta resident Marc Goldstein and his friends were about to depart on a post-high school trip across the country. It seemed like a good idea to take a document vouching for their character, and who better to supply it than then-Gov. Jimmy Carter? roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/01/06/c...
