Restaurant Reviews
Perugino's Italian
Resturanti
Hugo and his son Eric have brought together
old world recipes and new world technique.
In a absolutely beautifully restored old early
1900s house in the middle of Winder, Georgia of all places, Hugo has brought
together the tradition of old southern Italian cooking learned from
many years of studying under a first generation Chief from Naples Italy along
with his son Eric a graduate of The Cordon Blue, who brings a new world
approach to their offerings in a quiet romantic atmosphere.
Hugo’s love for cooking and presentation
surpasses anything ever offered in the Winder area, and probably will for a long
time to come.
After a six coarse meal consisting of Anti
pasta, Brochette, ensalada, Pasta the on tray, wine and desert,
I give
Perugino’s a FIVE STAR RATING.
I feel Hugo truly cook with love.
Perugino’s is located at 41 W. Candler

The Twisted Oak
Nancy
King and Chief Justen Ashcraft have come together to offer a unique dining
experience in downtown Monroe, Georgia.
In
one of the original old buildings in the middle of town Nancy has created a
wonderful place to dine. With a more formal dining area on the first floor,
where Nancy and Justen can show off their special recepies and great
presentations. And a second floor with a bar that offers a more casual
atmosphere for socializing and dining.
After
a four course meal consisting of Soft
shell crab, salad, Steak, Wine and desert.
I gave The Twisted Oak a FOUR STAR RATING
I
feel The Twisted Oak is a real feather in Monroe’s cap.
The
Twisted Oak is located at 116 N. Broad St. Monroe, Ga

Luna’s Restaurant
In
my Opinion
Once
again I set out on one of many dining adventures following up on one of the many
recommendations I receive to find the best food in the world.
Off
I go to Gainesville, Georgia Where I found a great romantically lit restaurant.
I was cordially received at Luna’s Restaurant by co-owner Frankie Luna.
Frankie
joined us at our table and told us the history behind Luna’s Restaurant,
mostly how she met her husband Juan Luna. I was surprised that Frankie had very
little knowledge about their food they served. After hearing about they’re
Chief and the menu offered, I asked as I often due, if the chief would surprise
me with something special. For the first time in asking this of a chief, I was
astonished and insulted by his response. In all my travels all over the world
presenting this friendly challenge to countless chiefs I’ve never before had a
chief respond by asking, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO SPEND.
I
quickly realized that this restaurant’s focus was not the joy of cooking.
Their focus was on the money that they would make.
I give Luna’s Restaurant a ONE STAR RATING
I feel a restaurateur’s first interest should always be the joy of cooking, and the money will most certainly follow. Luna’s has a great atmosphere with a very nice lounge.
Luna’s
is located at 200 Main St. Gainesville, Ga
The Spitfire Deli
If you like airplanes and good food here’s a great place to go for lunch. Celia is the boss, she and her husband run one of the cleanest and nicest places to eat in Winder and have a great menu. If asked, will from time to time make traditional English food, Kidney pie, Bread pudding you get the idea, being that they are both from England.

I give the Spitfire Deli a FOUR
STAR RATING
The Spitfire Deli is located at the Winder Airport 841 Ronald Wood Rd. Winder, Ga
