The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is offering free online advertising to local restaurants through its “Support Local Restaurants” campaign. The newspaper's website has seen record-breaking traffic as the coronavirus pandemic has unfolded, and it is reaching out to locally owned restaurants who have been especially hard hit by the COVID-19 crisis to help promote their businesses.
To participate, local restaurants must provide a logo, a call-to-action headline of up to 55 characters and a URL to be linked from the ad. This information can be emailed to Michael Horton at michael.horton@ajc.com. For questions or additional details, he can also be reached at 404.526.2355.

Garnish & Gather was founded in the fall of 2012 by Emily Golub out of her desire to cook more & eat local. CSA membership with a local farm was the gateway drug to all things food, and the next thing she knew she was pickling okra & tending an herb garden. This desire to cook more & eat local soon became Garnish & Gather, a place to share her love of farm-fresh food & help solve the dinnertime dilemma. Aimed at connecting folks with locally grown foods, Atlanta's best chefs & teaching creative cooking techniques, G&G is dedicated to creating easy & wholesome meals that everyone at your table will love. It's as simple as garnishing your meal & gathering together.
Native Atlantan, adventurous home cook & mom of twin boys, Emily loves local food. Together with her husband Lucas and toddlers, Eli & Jack, the Golub family can be found scouting farmers markets and exploring local eats when they're not dutifully taste-tasting G&G meals.
Wendy has been a part of Taste of Atlanta for over 13 years as a cooking stage manager and now as our Events Director. She has 11+ years of experience in overseeing a cooking school, which included taking recipes in every conceivable format and turning them into clear, concise instructions for the home cook to follow.
