Varsha spent 25 years in Bangalore, India, where she was a clever student of her mother’s cooking. “I have always been inspired by my mom’s cooking skills. She just knows how to make any dish ever so tasty,” says Varsha. “Her ability to cook has taught me to cherish my heritage.” The flavors of garlic, onion, peppers, mint, oregano, and cumin were Varsha’s culinary playground and the ultimate foundation for what would become her greatest adventure to date - a true home away from home for her guests. Beau Monde Cigar Bar and Restaurant was born out of Varsha’s love of entertaining. “When I first saw the space, the dream started CONTINUED >

WHITE LIGHT THE WAY (CONTINUED)

Joey Sommerville credits his mentor, Big Joe Burrell, with teaching him how to entertain people. “He could go into any venue or club, get up on stage and command a crowd and just turn the place out,” says Joey. “It’s where I learned how to read a crowd, how to read an audience, how to bring them into the music, and how to guide the show.” Nothing could be truer for both Joey Sommerville, the contemporary jazz trumpet player solidly rooted in the music of the church; and for his alter ego, Papa J Sez, who is decidedly more of an edgy blues guy. Whether you are listening to “Like You Mean It,” “Precious Lord,” or “White Light The Way,” it is clear that Joey Sommerville is one of Atlanta’s richest talents who has thoroughly enjoyed his life and the caliber of musicians that he has gotten to work with over the years. “I’ll get into trouble if I start naming names,” says Joey, “I am sure that I will forget to mention somebody.” For more information about Joey Sommerville please visit: PapaJSez.com. 20

SINCE 2006, THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE SUPPORTED THE AWARD-WINNING ALPHARETTA FARMERS MARKET. Started by a handful of volunteers, the Market has literally grown from a few pickup trucks with produce into a Saturday destination for shoppers, foodies, and bargain hunters from all over the Atlanta area. Sponsored by the Alpharetta Business Association, the Alpharetta Farmers Market is one of the finest places in North Fulton to enjoy fresh, locally sourced farmers’ products, delectable treats, and experience Downtown Alpharetta. Each week, the Farmers Market offers locally grown produce; natural meat;

gardeners with fresh flowers and plants; hand-crafted gifts, jellies, sauces, and soaps; homemade bread, desserts, and baked goods; raw honey; sourced farmfresh items and homemade food; and other Southern food producers. Leading this effort is Taylor Yurgalevicz, who works during the week in accounting, but on Saturdays, blossoms into the Market’s manager in charge of vendors, set up, clean up, trying to predict the weather, and anything else that comes up during the Market. Taylor and his wife recently moved to the area and he thought getting involved in the community would be a good way to connect with other people. Taylor has a history of being involved in the community holding the rank of Eagle Scout and volunteering as a firefighter EMT in Connecticut. When the Farmers Market Manager position came open, he jumped at the opportunity. Now, he’s working his second full season as the Manager … and as a new dad too. When asked what his Market favorites are, Taylor answered “All of them! That’s one of the greatest things about our Market. The variety is amazing – you can shop for your weekend dinner, gifts, produce for the week, treats for your pet, and grab a delicious cup

Also, different this year, the number of vendors in each category is limited so the Market can provide a wider range of goods. Vendors decide each week to participate according to their growing season and harvest schedule. On any given Saturday, the Market can have from 90 to 110 vendors. The Alpharetta Farmers Market is located on North and South Broad Streets in front of City Center alongside the Town Green. Parking is free in the decks on each side of Main Street as well as street parking too. There’s also easy pedestrian access to and from the Market and all the shops and restaurants in Downtown Alpharetta.

STALLINGS’

WORKOUT ARTICLE CITY LIFESTYLE

SCOTT STALLINGS DISCOVERED HIS INTEREST IN GOLF AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 3. But it was the “aha moment” for his LOVE of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer. After experiencing some health complications, Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best. With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night. Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed. “You only get one body,” he says. “Golf is a grind, but don’t let physicality get in the way of your game,” Scott says. 34
