We’ve been watching the progress and can hardly wait to sample the fare. Madame’s Fine Dining will open December 1. Locals are abuzz about the opening of this upscale eatery. Madame’s will feature international cuisine, a full bar and wine list as well as private party capabilities. 

Fried green tomato appetizer, Madame's Land and Sea Adventure (yes, that's lobster they're referring to) and Mango Mousse Cake here we come.  The lunch and dinner menus have been posted at www.madamesfinedining.com.  Plan on coming out December 1?  Be sure to dress the part; no hats, sneakers, baggy clothing, or sweats.

Madame's is located at 202 West Broad Street in Griffin, next to the post office.  The telephone number is 770-412-1200.

Gas prices are down, grab your "other" and head to Bolingbroke (near Forsyth). The Red Tomato is on every “must do” dining guide published east of the Mississippi. One Daily Scoop subscriber claims, “The atmosphere is quaint, the service exceptional and the food... quite delicious.”   The Red Tomato can be found in a little white farmhouse with a large front porch, just off Estes Road in Bolingbroke.

From "The Dish": 

So what’s the scoop on the menu? Everything is scrumptious! As an appetizer, many choose the black-eyed pea cake. Try the blue cheese bacon grits as a side item to any entrée. What southerner does not love bacon and grits? And with blue cheese? Our taste buds are already watering.
