From a new Mexican American brunch spot in Perry to failed health inspections in Macon and a coffee cart going brick-and-mortar in Warner Robins, there’s plenty happening on the Middle Georgia food scene right now.
Here are key takeaways:
• A Mexican American brunch bar opened in Perry. Meridian Brunch & Bar at 1818 Houston Lake Road, Suite A300, serves items like chilaquiles, French toast, avocado toast and freshly squeezed juices. Most dishes are under $15. Hours are 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
• Two Macon restaurants failed February health inspections. Mrs. Winners at 2419 Pio Nono and New China Express at 1493 Gray Highway both scored below 69, earning “U” grades for issues including improper food temperatures and employees not washing hands. Both improved to “A” scores at follow-up inspections.
• Five Warner Robins and Perry restaurants got “C” grades on health inspections. Violations ranged from food temperature issues to long black strands of hair found inside a bulk container of vanilla soft serve ice cream at Sonic off Russell Parkway. All five improved to “A” scores at follow-up inspections.
• A mobile coffee cart is opening a storefront in Warner Robins. Coffee on the Moooove is moving into 1806 Russell Parkway, Suite 100, this spring. The family-owned business specializes in handcrafted espresso drinks, herbal teas, hot chocolate and dirty sodas.
• A fine dining restaurant is proposed along Ga. 96 in Warner Robins. The new development planned for 1030 Ga. 96 includes a 3,600-square-foot building being marketed for an upscale restaurant or brunch concept, plus an 11,000-square-foot shopping center. About $5 million is expected to be invested by developers.
