Ted’s Serves Up a Taste of the West

Enjoy bison and other western delights at Ted’s Montana Grill in Peachtree Corners.

Step into Ted’s at the Forum and you’ll be stepping into the atmosphere of the West. With study and planning, the designers of the Ted’s restaurants have taken pains to present a Western theme both in the interior design as well as on the menu.

The Loving Hut: Healthy Pan-Asian that Defies Expectations

Peachtree Corners restaurant is delightfully Asian, with a conscience.

Editor's note: Laura Sullivan is the Norcross Patch editor. She decided to check out our little corner of the world with a review of a Peachtree Corners restaurant. I’m going to wander slightly here—outside the borders of Norcross and outside of my formula of picking an authentic ethnic restaurant you’ve likely never heard of—to bring you this healthy edition of Ethnic Eats.  The Loving Hut is a vegan Pan-Asian restaurant that defies expectations. First, its location at 6385 Spalding Drive in Peachtree Corners in a squat business park meant for professional offices, it seems. Next, its active community of health-minded patrons seem that they should be more Little Five Points than Peachtree Corners. Last, its menu, delicious and inventive …
