Even Oprah Goes a Long Way for a Nu-Way!  Oprah Winfrey declared Nu-Way as being “a pretty good hot dog.”   

Nu-Way Weiners is the second oldest continuously operating hot dog stand in the United States, and the oldest in Georgia.  Nu-Way has long been recognized by numerous publications as having the best hot dogs in the South, if not the entire country.  Last November, even Oprah Winfrey put Nu-Way on her must see list while visiting Macon.  To see the menu and discover more about the best little hot dog stand in Georgia, click on the link:  www.nu-wayweiners.com 

Elaine Malone, formerly of Del Ray Beach, FL, who should know something about seafood, said: 

Jim Shaw Seafood is GOOD, it’s delicious, it’s good enough to stand in line for!
She added, “It’s not a little hole in the wall restaurant, it’s a big hole in the wall restaurant.” 

Bonnie Smith, local Macon volunteer suggested that folks with a taste for “something different,” they should try TicToc, located in downtown Macon.   TicToc features an eclectic menu and over 100 kinds of martinis. 

Eric John, Emergency Medical Technician on duty at JDS, loves the homemade, hand-rolled pizza from Ingleside Pizzaria.  They are the best, and always fresh. 

A certain volunteer who wanted to remain anonymous, said her favorite place was Midtown Grill.  She stressed the good service, good food, and she particularly liked the good-looking young waiters. 

Bonnie Smith added another local favorite to her list.  Back Burner is a wonderful French restaurant located in an old house on Ingleside Drive.  The menu changes every day, so you never know what you will get.
