Local Restaurant Recognized By State

A local restaurant sees one of its menu items receive state recognition.

The Cornerstone Restaurant in downtown Toccoa saw its fish tacos named one of the “100 Plates that Locals Love” by the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Tourism division.

The list is featured in the state’s new culinary guide, Georgia Eats.

Georgia Department of Economic Development Deputy Commissioner for Tourism Kevin Langston said that each dish on the list of “100 Plates that Locals Love” epitomize Georgia’s culinary scene with locally made and grown ingredients.

Langston went on to say these are best of the best in Georgia and they cannot wait to share them with their visitors.

As part of the designation on this list, each restaurant is featured in the Georgia Eats official culinary guide, which is being distributed by the 11 Visitor Information Centers statewide; on the state’s consumer tourism website, ExploreGeorgia.org; and on ExploreGeorgia.org’s 14 social media channels.

The Cornerstone’s fish tacos consist of three soft shell flour tortillas filled with flaky grilled or white fish, purple cabbage, hand sliced Pico de Gallo, and their house made southwestern “Taco Sauce.”
