A Look Back At 20 Years of People Featured On Our Cover

Georgia’s restaurant community isn’t truly about the food that’s plated. It’s about the people who cook, operate, serve, and sling drinks at the nearly 23,000 food and drink establishments across the state.

That’s why, in each issue, from Savannah and Macon to Athens and Atlanta, Restaurant Informer strives to highlight on the cover the people who are working hard to build their dreams and make Georgia’s restaurant industry a success.

For many, working in the restaurant industry is not just a job or a career; rather it weaves its way into the whole of your life. We caught up with a few of the many people who have been featured over the past 20 years on our covers to see what they are up to now, what they’ve learned since their time on the cover, and how they think the industry has changed since being featured in our pages. Responses have been edited for space and clarity.
