Ah, summertime is here again and with it come all the trappings: hot weather, outdoor gatherings and a new Chick-fil-A sandwich.
The Atlanta-based fast food chain is introducing its newest seasonal entrée – the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich. The sandwich is stacked with smoky flavors that compliment a backyard barbecue in every way.
Also back on the menu at Chick-fil-A is the much-loved Peach Milkshake, which returns for its 15th year.
The sandwich is made with a lemon herb marinated boneless breast of chicken, grilled for a tender, smoky taste. It is served on a buttery and toasted maple flavored brioche bun, topped with Pepper Jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, bacon hand-tossed in a brown sugar and pepper blend, topped with sweet and spicy pickles.
“We are always looking for ways to make unique twists to our entrée selection and the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich is a delicious spin on the Chick-fil-A flavors our Guests know and love,” says Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging. “It is a delicious blend of sweet, savory and spicy, offering an entirely different flavor profile than any other sandwich we’ve launched. We have several new and exciting offerings in the pipeline and look forward to continuing to surprise our Guests with bold, new tastes in the future!”

A delegation of business leaders and government representatives recently led a week-long economic development tour to South Korea with plans to ignite international investment in Fulton County.
Develop Fulton, a major collaborator behind the overseas initiative, aims to position the county, particularly South Fulton, as the epicenter of unlocked business expansion opportunities in the United States.
Aside from South Fulton, Georgia as a whole has become known as a premier location in the nation for business and economic development.
“Fulton County is the nucleus of smart growth that represents an area uniquely positioned to attract major attention for future business development opportunities,” said Georgia State Senator and Develop Fulton Chairman Brandon Beach. “This mission-driven trip to Korea taps into growing and emerging industries poised to call Fulton County home.”
During the multi-city business development trip from April 20-27, the Fulton delegation engaged in a series of insightful meetings and tours with elected officials and leading business executives across various industries, including logistics, artificial intelligence, biomedical, advanced manufacturing, electric vehicles, and robotics. With a goal to foster strong relationships and showcase the county as a hub for strong business prospects, leaders emphasized Fulton’s strategic positioning, diverse industry landscape, skilled workforce, and exceptional quality of life.
“As ambassadors and economic development evangelists for Fulton County, we remain laser-focused on leveraging every opportunity to highlight the countless ways Fulton remains the gateway for growth in our region,” said Kwanza Hall, Develop Fulton Vice Chairman. “We’re putting a special focus on highlighting the untapped opportunities that abound in South Fulton. By establishing, building, and nurturing these global business relationships, our hope is for these efforts to yield transformative and historic investments across our county and unlock limitless business opportunities.”
Championed by Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts, the delegation also included College Park City Councilman Joseph Carn, East Point City Councilman Joshua Butler, and Director of Economic Development for the City of Fairburn Sylvia Abernathy. Pitts shared that the trip to Korea marked an opportunity to forge global connections and explore new possibilities, with the goal of collaboratively shaping a prosperous future for Fulton County.
“Fulton County is the catalyst for growth and economic prosperity across this region and the state of Georgia, and it is incumbent upon us to seek new business prospects, domestically and internationally,” said Pitts. “We must remain intentional in our efforts to build on the undeniable momentum that has attracted major corporations and industries to Fulton County. The signing of our joint MOU marks a milestone in this international business effort.”

Author and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey CEO Fawn Weaver is coming to Atlanta as part of her Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered book tour.
The tour will share historical accounts from her book Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest (on sale: June 18).
The book tour is set to stop in Atlanta on Friday, June 21. Keep reading to find the time and place.
Those who attend can look forward to an extraordinary evening of whiskey exploration and open, unfiltered discussion, featuring Weaver and Victoria Eady Butler, four-time Master Blender of the Year.
As a whiskey drinker myself, I am looking forward to this event!
What’s On Tap At the Whiskey & Love Tour
Attendees will enjoy exclusive tastings of the finest Uncle Nearest single barrels and master blends, meticulously selected by Victoria for this tour. Immerse yourself in a night of authentic, unrestricted conversation with Fawn Weaver as she delves into the legacy of Nearest Green, the captivating journey of building the Uncle Nearest brand, the vision for the future of America’s first spirits empire to be built by a woman or person of color, and her personal story from homeless teen to triumph.
“This tour redefines the book event experience. I am known for my transparency; I embrace spontaneity and genuine interactions,” Fawn said in a press release. “Here, the audience leads—every question is unfiltered, straight from our guests. In between discussions, guests will have the ability to savor exquisite whiskeys under the guidance of one of the industry’s most respected Master Blenders.”
By the book:
What Is Love & Whiskey About?
Love & Whiskey chronicles Weaver’s odyssey, beginning with her discovery of Nearest Green through a piece in The New York Times. Green, a formerly enslaved Black man and skilled whiskey maker, served as the world’s first known African American master distiller and the original master distiller for Jack Daniel.
Weaver embarked on a quest, assembling a team of over 30 historians, archivists, genealogists, and researchers to unearth the true story of Nearest Green. She interviewed and spent time with over 100 of Nearest Green’s descendants, as well as numerous descendants of Jack Daniel, amassing thousands of documents from more than six states.
This monumental research effort led to the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, which has grown into a billion-dollar enterprise and stands as the top-selling Black-founded and owned spirit brand of all time.
Reminiscent of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Love & Whiskey masterfully intertwines the lives of Nearest Green, Jack Daniel, and their descendants from 1849 to the present, alongside Weaver’s own trailblazing path to establish the first spirit conglomerate founded by a woman or person of color.
Record-Shattering Launch: Upon its pre-order announcement, Love & Whiskey soared to No. 17 in the Top 100 books on Amazon, America’s largest book retailer. The book impressively held the No. 1 spot in seven out of its eight categories throughout the week, including Women’s Memoirs, U.S. State and Local History, Culinary Biographies & Memoirs, and Black & African American Biographies. It was also heralded as the No. 1 “Mover & Shaker” on Amazon. Additionally, the earliest pre-orders will receive an extra special touch—a copy signed by Fawn Weaver during her record-setting Guinness World Record attempt for the Longest Marathon Book Signing, where she autographed 25,005 books in 24 hours and 35 minutes.
Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered tour dates
The first of 20 Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered tour dates and locations will be:
- Washington, DC: Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at the National Press Club

Expect Sellouts: Tickets for all events can be purchased here. The Tampa event is already sold out, with others expected to sell out quickly. Stay tuned for additional dates.
A Tour Unlike Any Other: “The enthusiasm for this book is unlike almost any other we’ve seen in recent history, and this book tour will be one of the largest tours of its kind,” said Melcher Media CEO and founder Charlie Melcher. “Attendees will get access to the powerhouse that is Fawn Weaver, and the exquisite craftswoman that is Victoria Butler. Fawn’s unwavering ambition and dedication to telling an incredibly important part of American history will be on full display with the Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered tour.”

Chain restaurants are having a tough time of late, and it’s hitting close to home for Georgia residents. Red Lobster recently announced that it was shutting down several locations across the nation, including some in Georgia.

Why Is Red Lobster In Financial Trouble?
Red Lobster has run into financial difficulty after trying to avoid bankruptcy last year. The brand was purchased in 2016 by Thai Union, which had a minority stake in 2020 when the pandemic struck.

With the recent announcement that Chili’s is closing down in several U.S. cities, it stands to reason that there may be some trepidation among Atlanta foodies as to whether the popular restaurant will remain open in the metro area.
If you recall, some local Chili’s restaurants have already closed their doors around Atlanta.
- In 2019, the Chili’s at Lindbergh at 2440 Piedmont Rd in Buckhead closed for good.
- In June 2023, the Chili’s at 3625 Dallas Highway in West Cobb shut down.
- In August 2023, Chili’s at 4784 Ashford Dunwoody Road closed its doors.
Will Chili’s In Atlanta Remain Open?
It’s too early to tell whether any other Chili’s locations in Atlanta will close permanently, but with the recent reductions in business, it makes sense that more closures are on the way. Red Lobster is also closing some Atlanta-area locations.
With nearly 50 locations, Chili’s had its largest presence in Atlanta just two years ago.

As of now, there are a handful of Chili’s restaurants in Atlanta.
