A brewpub offering handcraft beer paired with honest food and it's right here in Middle GA.<br />
<br />
In 2014, the brewing industry exploded in Georgia and co-founders Brian Whitley and Richie Jones wanted to be part of that dream. With a passion for craft beer and food, they created a place where everyone could celebrate their two loves.<br />
<br />
I didn't venture here for my love of beer. It would be a lie if I said that's what I am into. Food? Well... just say the word and I will be there.<br />
<br />
Piedmont guarantees a unique flavor experience at every bite. I had heard about it from friends and colleagues; and the reviews were great. The beer connoisseurs would rave about the pairings of beer and burgers so I felt the need to pass by.<br />
<br />
The menu boasts of the likes of pimento mac n cheese, andouille corn dogs and grit fritters just to name a few. I recommend passing whenever you are in Macon, GA.<br />

Anything and everything you can think of that is specific to African, Spanish and Caribbean cuisine can be found at Ike's. <br />
<br />
I was especially excited about the items specifically found in Ghana and pleasantly surprised by the amount of stuff that you could find in this little grocery store. Another bonus was that Ike's serves multicultural foods daily. I tried Tuo Zaafi ( see picture below) for the second time from this store and although I thought my first go-around was scrumptious, this one turned out to be awesome as well. You could stock up on Foreign Language Films too.<br />
<br />
Expect great customer service as well. I bought a six pack of Malta that was mistakenly left behind. There was no hustle when I returned to claim it.<br />
<br />
Ike's is a one-stop shop for all the ingredients you'd need to prepare an exotic dish.<br />

I have it with peanuts (the Ghanaian way), roasted almonds (my new obsession_ I love love love the Blue Diamond Brand_Wasabi & Soy), peanut butter ( when there are no nuts around ) and even Nutella ( yup I went there).<br />
<br />
If you want a healthy way to snack, why don't you pop a few nuts in you mouth and take a bite of banana. I promise you won't regret it.<br />
<br />
<em><strong><u>PSA!</u></strong> So I just had this at my desk and was loving it so much I thought I'd share. I had this nostalgic feeling, I had to put it on my blog. Seriously had no I idea one could think of this post in a different way and take it left field. So before that happens I just want you to know this is just about food and it tastes great. Honest!</em><br />

I couldn't eat it because of how long it had been since I had last seen them.<br />
Every Ghanaian knows what these are. Popularly known as 'Yooyi' ... It is famously coined 'Ghana Blackberries'<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

According to Wikipedia, Yooyi is known as the Velvet Tamarind and in Ghana it is found along transition zones bordering high forest, in riverian forest of the savannah woodland, in coastal scrub, and in riparian vegetation of the Volta near Ada.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bark and leaves have medicinal purposes.</div>

It's flavor is similar to Tamarind, hence it's English name. The pulp is reddish-orange, with a sweet-sour, astringent flavor similar to baobab, but sweeter. It is peeled and eaten raw.The thirst-quenching, refreshing fruit pulp can also be soaked in water and drunk as a beverage. It's leaves are bitter and may be used to cook '<em>Domada'</em> , a traditional Gambian peanut-based sauce flavoured with tomatoes and hot chillies.</div>
