Rating: 4 peas on a 5-pea-pod scale
Verdict: The north Georgia drought continues, and nearby Lake Lanier is scraping bottom. The lake hasn’t been this low since they filled her up in the 1950s. Though outright disaster looms, the more immediate impact on local business has already hit.

Hopefully this fellow — and his tasty boilers — won’t suffer. This was excellent late-Sunday afternoon find. We were set to bring them with us on a visit, but plans changed. We got them all to ourselves.

These well-done-but-firm, generously salted Valencias were done right like they (usually) do them in the foothills and above. We’ll be back some day, hopefully soon when Sidney’s lake isn’t so parched anymore.
