Shownotes

Georgia’s Restaurant (Family-owned) with Orange County locations in Anaheim (Anaheim Packing House) and Irvine (Irvine Spectrum) is one of the participating restaurants in OC Restaurant Week (for both Lunch & Dinner) running March 8th thru Saturday, March 14th. Co-Founder Nika Shoemaker-Machado (representing the 2nd generation of Family-ownership) sets the tray of house-baked cornbread muffins aside to cool and then joins us.

“What is Georgia’s Soul Food? Gretchen Shoemaker, the heart of Georgia’s, would tell you it is the food you get when you cook with your whole heart and soul.”

“Georgia’s dishes are the comfort foods she learned to make with her grandma, the very ones she raised her daughters on, served in her successful catering service and has shared with family and friends throughout the years.”

“When you taste their food, you taste the love and devotion that makes Georgia’s “Soul Delicious!!””
