How We Met

It was our first visit to Young Harris / Hiawassee, GA in April 2018, and my husband, son, and I were looking for a dinner spot to eat in town. We love trendy, farm-to-table places whenever we can try them. We found Restaurant Lorene (their previous restaurant) just down the road from where we were staying. We got there and they said there were no tables available and one wouldn’t be available until 7:30 pm when their reservations opened up. We were hesitant because our son was three years old and that would mean a late night for him. They convinced us to go for it because it would not disappoint, and wow, were we glad we listened. The food and drinks are incredible. We later reached out to them to record our first episode of Cooking with My Friends with the owner, Cory Benoit, and Executive Chef, Doug Rouen. Since they are always taking care of their guests, we wanted to take the opportunity to take care of them, at least for a lunch! I can’t wait to visit their new restaurant, Hiawassee Seafood Bar & Grill.
