As
I
write this, we
are just a couple
of days away
from G-Day. It
will be a great
day to celebrate
our team and
enjoy being in
Athens. G-Day is just part of
what will be going on with
UGA sports this weekend.
Both of our Ladies’ Golf
Teams and Tennis Teams
will be at the respective
SEC
Championships
during the weekend of the
21st. Also competing will
be the Gym Dogs at the
NCAA
Championships.
Our Equestrian team is also

It’s 1/2 of your favorite
duo the Fooding Fuchs
here to tell you about
our new restaurant of
the month. While you
may feel an onset of
Déjà Vu, I assure it’s not.
This month’s incredibly
tasty restaurant is Nana’s
Chicken and Waffles.
You may be saying to
yourself, “but Jason,
didn’t you write about a

in WACO.
On the Men’s
side, the last
weekend in April
will have both the
Tennis and Golf
teams competing
in their SEC
Championships.
Still with games
to play our #6 ranked Ladies’
Softball and our streaking
Baseball teams. G-Day gets
top billing. My hopes for
G-Day are maybe different
from yours. My #1 hope
is that there are no serious
injuries. My #2 hope is that
we fill the place up. My #3
hope is that everyone has a
great time. #4-10, again no
last month?” I sure did,
but the dish is so nice
I’ll do it twice. Nana’s is
located next to Storage
Time in Conyers. They
opened about a year
and a half ago, and
they haven’t stopped
serving delicious food
since. They are open for
Breakfast and Lunch.
Make note that closing
time is at 4 pm. If you
stop by on the weekend,
just know this place is
popping. It is, however,
worth those few short
minutes of waiting.
Nana’s pays homage to
both of their families
roots in Louisiana and
Maryland by fusing both
styles of cuisine. To top
it off, they then throw in
a little southern flair.

serious injuries.
You want more? Yes,
it will be nice to see who
is playing with the 1’s on
the O-Line, D-line, and
D-backfield. More important
might be who is running
with the 2’s. Those guys in
many situations get 30-40%
of the snaps; if you are deep,
you can’t survive the long
season.
See you in Athens soon.
Going to be a special time.

waffle
appetizer was chosen
by my 5-year-old who
was in shock that there
was such a thing as a
green tomato. He wasn’t
disappointed, and neither
was I. The tomatoes
were tart and fried crispy
outside. The pimento
cheese was beautifully
melted on top, and the
smokiness from the
bacon helped finish it
quite nicely. For the
entrée as I’ve mentioned
before, I went for the
surprise me approach.

irst, let’s give a big
shout out to this
year 2018 Master’s
Champion Patrick Reed. Unlike
some of my friends, I found myself
pulling for him as Sunday’s round
drew near. Considering all the
negative posts and texts I received
Sunday morning there seemed to be
issues with his past. Not knowing
all the details, he was expelled from
UGA golf team. I’m sure it was
warranted, but I’m a firm believer
in second chances. Good Job Sir.
Begin hitting draws sooner than
later. It starts with your hands. Set
your hands in a stronger position to

with a delicious sweet
lemon butter sauce. Top
that off with fresh hot
maple syrup, and there
you have it, perfection.
Nana’s also offers the
best of your brunch
cocktails
including
mimosas and sangrias.
They also occasionally
feature live jazz. Nana’s
has already become a
go-to breakfast spot in
Conyers, and I would
imagine it will keep
growing. I look forward
to coming back many
more times. I know you
will come and check
them out too! Until our
next month’s issue. Taste
the good life!
hit a draw. However, grabbing the
club in a stronger position isn’t the
only thing you need to do. Set the
grip in the base of your fingers not
angled across your palm. It’s more
in your fingers. You’ll able to swing
freely and easily close the club-
face. That’s what will cause the ball
to draw. As you know everyone’s
swing is a little different, and that’s
ok but try to finish your follow thru
on your toes versus holding back
and finishing on your heels.
That being said, I wouldn’t call
Patrick Reed a Monkey. I noticed
Patrick hitting the biggest cut drive
right down the middle when the
pressure was on. I just love the
swing tracker. At my age, I wish I
had one of those. I hit the ball these
days, and the first word out of my
mouth is “Did You sees that?”
One more big Shout out to my
Best Bud “Jim” for taking me to LA.
Trip of a lifetime to say the least.
More of that story to come.
Till next tee time.
