Three Richmond Hill restaurants -- Fish Tales, Southern Image and All Things Chocolate And More -- were recently recognized in the Georgia Department of Economic Development 2017 culinary guide, Georgia Eats. The Lowcountry boil from Fish Tales was chosen as one of the “100 Plates Locals Love,” Southern Image was recognized in the “Fried Chicken” category, and All Things Chocolate and More won in the “Welcome Sugar” category.

“The Richmond Hill Convention and Visitors Bureau actively promotes our locally-owned restaurants, and we couldn’t be any prouder to share them with the world,” said Christy Sherman, executive director of the Richmond Hill CVB.

Georgia Tourism’s third annual culinary guide, published by GDEcD’s Tourism Division, features the wildly popular “100 Plates Locals Love,” 10 flavor tours, inspiring feature stories, exclusive recipes from local chefs, popular food festivals and much more. Georgia is home to diverse and flavorful crops, and it’s the unique culinary experiences that make the “Peach State” a leading culinary destination for visitors. From farm-to-table dining, food festivals, cooking schools, award-winning wineries, agritourism trails, talented local chefs, u-pick farms, and much more, Georgia is home to many noteworthy and distinctive flavors.

“Culinary experiences continue to be one of the top drivers of visitor interest when planning a vacation,” said Kevin Langston, deputy commissioner for tourism at the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “Georgia offers visitors unique food and beverage experiences in every corner of the state, and the Georgia Eats guide makes it easy for visitors and locals to discover the many flavors of Georgia.”
