Dine Like a Local is back for a second year:
What’s the surest way to find a city’s best restaurants? Ask a local for a recommendation, of course. And right now in Sandy Springs, getting that "insider info" is easier than ever, thanks to a culinary program that puts two dozen restaurants in the spotlight.
Dine Like a Local is back for a second year, featuring 24 Sandy Springs favorites and a mobile passport program that earns diners points during their own food-centered journey! Here’s how it works: folks can sign up online (by clicking here) for the passport, which is free and delivered via text and email. Once you get that text and email, you click on the link, and it opens the passport – which is essentially a listing of all the participating restaurants. When you visit those restaurants, you "check in" via the passport, earning a hundred points per visit and chances to win special prizes.
And as any local can tell you, Sandy Springs has an exciting and eclectic food scene. Participating restaurants include several Good Day Atlanta favorites, including Chef Rob’s Caribbean Café (featuring Caribbean favorites including braised beef oxtails and jerk chicken), il Giallo Osteria & Bar (Italian cuisine including grilled octopus and duck and fontina-filled agnolotti), and McDaniel’s QN2 (good, old-fashioned barbecue, of course!).
Dine Like a Local — which is a program of Visit Sandy Springs — runs through March 31; for a list of participating restaurants and to learn more about the passport and giveaways, click here.

Atlanta chef competing on baking championship
Pastry chef Nickey Boyd is lacing up her apron and getting ready to throw down in a sweet way on the Food Network's 'Spring Baking Championship.' Boyd chatted with Sharon Lawson about finding her passion for baking, her decision to try out for the show, and more.
Pastry chef Nickey Boyd competes on "Spring Baking Championship": The series format includes two rounds in each episode. The first round is the "PreHeat" where the contestants must bake something centered around a specific theme. The winner of the first round gets an advantage going into the next round. The second round is the "Main Heat" where the contestants create a larger confection that often follows in the same vein as the pre-heat theme. Partway through the main heat, a twist is revealed that the bakers must incorporate into their final product. The winner of the "Main Heat" advances to the next episode, while the baker with the worst dish is eliminated. The three bakers remaining will compete in the final "Main Heat" challenge. Catch the show Monday at 8 p.m. on Food Network.
