Every fall Table & Main features Rabbit ‘n Dumplins with root vegetables and some kind of refrigerator pickle. Autumn calls for hearty comforting stews, and we use confit rabbit meat because that’s the way we did it in Kentucky. We slow-simmer the rabbit bones to make a sorghum and apple cider gravy. And lastly we add some kind of quick pickle inside to add kick.

One team effort we’re particularly proud of was our Table & Aid community support. At the pandemic’s outset, our restaurants transitioned to takeout only to establish a baseline cash flow.

Not only was our business in crisis, but also many individuals in our community were hammered by layoffs and other uncertainties. With Table & Main temporarily closed and most of our staff still able to work, we knew we had the resources to help by doing what we do best: nurturing the community with food and hospitality. We established a process and a team to convert T&M into essentially a soup kitchen donating prepared lunches 6 days/week at no charge, no questions asked. Team members from all three restaurants, including Osteria Mattone and Coalition Food and Beverage, contributed to serving over 9,723 meals from late March to early May. We averaged 152 meals a day.

I am confident that this growth will continue as companies look for safe, business-friendly locations with a sense of community for their employees.”

In August, the 16-story office tower Twelve24 celebrated its official opening. Twelve24 brings ample office space and ground-floor space reserved for restaurants and retail, as well as direct access to the Dunwoody MARTA Station through a sky bridge. 70 percent of Twelve24 has already been leased

by Insight Global, a national staffing and services company, and Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant has already preleased 7,500 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space.

State Farm, another notable business with a campus in Dunwoody opened the second of three buildings earlier this year, adding office and retail space to the dynamic skyline of Atlanta’s first edge city. The third building is slated to be complete by the end of this year, rounding out a year of steady growth for Dunwoody despite the pandemic.

As the city develops more options for offices, retail, restaurants and shopping around the city, Dunwoody continually improves the quality of lives for residents, businesses and tourists. Its business-friendly atmosphere, diverse recreation options, lower-overall cost of living and proximity to mass transit has established Dunwoody as an up-and-coming center of employment, transportation and population density.

ELAINE STERLING WASN’T SURE WHEN OR HOW HER SPA ESTHÉTIQUE (OPENED IN JANUARY OF 2019) WOULD SURVIVE WHEN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HIT. Like many other small businesses in Sandy Springs, she made the right decision for her staff and customers and closed the doors.

Facing uncertain times, Elaine did her best for those working for her and helped them file for unemployment. She offered incentives to her clients that if they purchased gift cards during the shutdown, 100% of the proceeds would support her out-of-work estheticians.

Through it all, Esthétique managed to come out on the other side when the restrictions were lifted in early May. Elaine knew that re-opening wouldn’t be easy, especially re-opening the safe

way, but she also knew that after months of being on lockdown, people were ready to come back. And she was right!

Following the strictest of guidelines set down by the CDC and the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology, Elaine invested in PPE, worked out new protocols that put staff and client safety first including rigorous sanitation and cleaning between appointments.

Her team did a thorough redesign of the entire Spa and storefront to ensure social distancing guidelines could be followed.

When the email went out about the books opening up again, the clients responded. Even though business wasn’t where it was preCOVID, people had a clear need for their skin

For the last few months, Elaine has encourage business by offering hefty discounts on services (they are doing 40% off all services until December 31, 2020) and other specials like adding new services such as waxing for both men and women, even hiring two new Estheticians directly from the school she founded, the Elaine Sterling Insitute. Esthétique managed to survive the economic rollercoaster, but Elaine knows they’re not out of the woods yet. She and her team continue to innovate, think on their feet

Go to the “dark side” with this design that requires matte black paint, white paint, some metallic paint (for an out-ofthis-world vibe) and some newspapers. Be careful—this one could get messy!

+

Leave your stems natural or cover with metallic paint if desired. Then, coat your mini pumpkins in matte black paint— be sure to cover everything!

+

You can leave some matte black, but for an extra touch, lay out newspaper and splatter your white paint onto some of your black pumpkins. Bonus—as long as you catch it before it dries, any paint should be easily removed with some warm water.

DIY (CONTINUED)

+

Start with several mini pumpkins. (We prefer to use fake ones so you don’t have to worry about leaving them out too long!)

You’ll also need some white paint, metallic paint and black paint. Twine is optional to add a slightly rustic vibe to the stems.

+

Paint all of the stems with black paint and wrap some with twine if desired. Then, create several different looks with combinations of metallic and flat paint. Make extra creepy “oozing” pumpkins by allowing paint to run down the sides.

+

Don’t feel limited to solid colors! Experiment here with different patterns and textures (like painting over lace or using a sponge to apply paint instead of a brush), and add some extra sparkle with glitter!
