There is no shortage of mouth-watering meals to choose from in the city, but there are so many amazing places to eat in Atlanta that it's hard to pick where you should go first. Because ATL is a major food lover hotspot, there are tons of food bloggers around the city to help guide your tastebuds through the best eats in town.
One of Atlanta's most notable foodie influencers, Skye Estroff, is so passionate about food that she created her own business to optimize success for many food-based clients. We asked Skye what drives her passion for yummy food. "I love learning about food and recipes and have always had a large appetite, but the thing that has always drawn my interest to food is the sense of connection it brings," says Estroff. "People of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities can find commonality through food."
Skye has been featured on several local media channels and programs including frequent appearances on Fox 5 and Eating Around Town on Peachtree TV. "I love expressing my excitement for food on TV! I am typically featured to recommend local Atlanta restaurants, but occasionally I get to cook or discuss trendy food news," she says. With her prior experience working for Taste of Atlanta, Skye co-hosted regular TV segments and can be trusted to satisfy your craziest cravings with her recommendations.
