While D&B agrees with a number of Best of Picks, we have a few of our own:
- Best Real Estate Agent - Sandra Williams of Sellers Realty. She patiently showed us dozens of homes before we found our new home in Dahlonega. She was savvy and definitely knowledgeable.
- Best Coffee - It's not Starbucks. The best coffee in Dahlonega is at
the Picnic Cafe and Dessertery on the square. Our favorite is Hazelnut. YUM!
- Best Appetizer - In our opinion, the crab cake appetizer at the Backdoor Porch Oyster Bar is the best in the city. The chef doesn't use breading, so the crab cake has LOTS of crab.
- Best Photographer - Well this is a no-brainer. Lamar Bates of Lamar Photography. A photo volunteer for the Lumpkin Chamber of Commerce, he's doing a fabulous job capturing the fun events in this area.
- Best Sunday Brunch - This honor has to go to the Bourbon Street Grill. Eggs Benedict, beignets, coffee with chicory and eating on the porch overlooking the town square. Can't beat that.
- Best Chicken Pot Pie- This is definitely one of the most popular dishes at Yahoola Creek Grill. After you've eaten the first bite, you will know why.
- Best Hamburger - When we took friends to Shenanigans Irish Pub and we all ordered the pub burger, one friend announced, "This is the best hamburger I've ever eaten." Yes, their burgers are that good.
- Best Dog Groomer - PeeWee Grooming wins this award. D&B's Scottie came home with the best cut/trim she's ever had. PeeWee definitely knows their doggie cuts.
- Best Wine Vixen - That has to be Vicki at Naturally Georgia tasting room in The Bleu Gallery on the downtown square. Vicki serves up wine from two North Ga. wineries, adding a bit of personality with each glass she pours.
- Best New Wine - According to Mr. B, Cavendar Creek Vineyards and Winery's 2010 vintage of Petit Manseng is fabulous. For a taste test, visit the vineyards' tasting room, 12-5 Friday and Saturday, 1-5 Sunday. Tastings are free.
