The one common thread among all travelers - they've gotta EAT! Culinary tourism is beginning to emerge as a major marketing tool for attracting visitors to a destination. Recently, the Georgia Mountain Foodways Alliance was formed to promote the wonderful array of fresh produce grown in Georgia - along with the restaurants and markets where these commodities are served. Join us as we travel the culinary highway of Northeast Georgia with a delicious sampling of the taste treats to be found along our winding roads.
