Cheeseburgers in Paradise and A&W Rootbeer!

I love finding a slice of America where I live.

Today in France, I was transported to one of my favorite zipcodes: 30306, the little neighborhood of Virginia Highlands in HOT LANTA.

So what did I find? 

Guissart is keepin it real with his restaurant called  Zucchini Blossum. This Generation Y guy is a quick study. After living for a short time in Phoenix, Guissart,  traveled, observed and took notes. Then, he brought back, his impressions, (his own slice of America) to his own native France.




Don't let the name fool you, Zuchinni Blossom specializes in hamburgers, Quesidillas, Chili and of course American Desserts.

The best part..  it's just hip with Free Wifi, Cool Music and good eats.

When I asked Guissart (who speaks perfect English), what style he was going for, he replied, "He just wanted to get away from the snob, protocol dining atmosphere known here in the French Riviera."

I think he nailed it. 






Complete with a quirky, 1960's goldfish aquarium, Guissart  plays very good music, and the atmosphere is just cool. Loungy.

It's therapy.


The Atlanta factor is complete with a big Southern porch, over-sized couches, tables, ping pong tables and a big basketball hoop.


Suggestions: Any Cheeseburger and order it with the A&W Rootbeer. He does have traditional French dishes but when in Rome...

Open: M-F (lunch) and Friday Nights Only

  1. So when is Guissart going to open a restaurant in the US? We could use him in Seattle! Glad to hear you are finding slices of the familiar while exploring the new and different.
