340 - You Don't Have to Be Jewish to Belong at the JCC - Janel Margaretta
Podcast 340 - You Don't Have to Be Jewish to Belong at the JCC - Janel Margaretta The JCC has been sitting on the land off Tilly Mill since 1961, back when it was farmland and Dunwoody was still decades away from being a city. It's still a huge part of Dunwoody's culture. Sixty thousand people walk through the doors every year now, and nine out of ten of them tell Janel Margaretta they made a friend while they were there. Measuring that is literally her job. She is the Chief Impact Officer, and she raised the money for the biggest renovation that campus has seen since 2000. You see it in small ways. A bus brings kids from school to Club J while a parent gets a workout in. When you show up at the pickleball courts, you always see someone you know. Summer camps are where kids grow up. Janel calls it the third spot, after work and home. All are welcome. You don't have to be Jewish. She said it comes down to kindness and honesty and caring for one another, and that is it. Sixty five years on the same piece of ground, and that is still the whole idea. Camp Barney registration opens September 23. And the Book Festival is back November 1 through 22, one of the largest Jewish book festivals in North America and somehow already in its 35th year, with Harry Connick Jr. on the lineup.

339 - 31 Years of McKendrick's Steak House, and What's New on the Menu - Chef Branden Holte
Podcast 339 - 31 Years of McKendrick's Steak House, and What's New on the Menu - Chef Branden Holte McKendrick's is a Dunwoody institution. Claudia and Doug McKendrick opened it across from Perimeter Mall in 1995. It's been named one of the top five power bars in Atlanta and has won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since 2003. Servers who've been there more than a decade are still bringing out the same great steaks. That corner of Park Place has watched restaurants come and go, and McKendrick's just keeps holding it down. There's a new chef now. Branden Holte came on in June, brought in by operating partner Anthony Casiello. He's an Atlanta guy, and the first thing I wanted to know was whether he touched the steaks. He didn't. Same cuts, same purveyor, still Meats by Linz and the Linz Heritage Angus line. The real changes are in places you wouldn't think to look, like a rebuilt fish program where nothing goes to waste and a tuna tataki that replaced an old tuna tartare that had gotten a bit played out. Little changes, and they sound like they add up. If you've been to McKendrick's before but not lately, now's the time to go back.

338 - Varuni Napoli, Rosetta Bakery, and Discover Dunwoody at High Street - Mark Galvin
Podcast 338 - Varuni Napoli, Rosetta Bakery, and Discover Dunwoody at High Street - Mark Galvin There are not many people I get to talk Dunwoody with the way I talk Dunwoody with Mark Galvin. The man knows everything new. He is the Chief Marketing and Operating Officer at Discover Dunwoody, and once a month we catch up. High Street took up a good chunk of it this time. Varuni Napoli is open, Rosetta Bakery opened right beside it, and TriNet just cut the ribbon on a new regional office there. Discover Dunwoody just announced that it is moving its offices there by the end of the year. We got into Perimeter Mall moving its food court toward Macy's, with entrances from the Ashford Dunwoody side and the back parking deck. We also covered Van Leeuwen at Park Place, Beyond Juicery + Eatery at The Shops of Dunwoody, and the Dunwoody Village Merchant Alliance with Sips Around the Village. The Discover Dunwoody events page is filling up for fall. A 12-foot Busy Bee sculpture by Huelani Mei is unveiled at Windwood Hollow Park on September 10, the Butterfly Experience runs September 5 and 6 at the Dunwoody Nature Center, Farm to Table moved to Thursday, October 1 at Donaldson Bannister Farm, and much more.

337 - This Chamblee Gym Is the Next Step in My Son's Basketball Journey - Lee Miller
Podcast 337 - This Chamblee Gym Is the Next Step in My Son's Basketball Journey - Lee Miller A lot of Dunwoody kids are already playing basketball through the Dunwoody Metro League at Dunwoody United Methodist, Dunwoody Baptist, and Kingswood, or through All Saints' own league. But that's a few months of games and then nothing until next fall. That gap is exactly what got my attention at EHB Chamblee. I sat down with Lee Miller, who's run EHB (Elite Hoops Basketball) for over 20 years and owns all four of the company's metro Atlanta locations, including the Chamblee one, which is a short drive from most of Dunwoody, right next to Chamblee Plaza off Peachtree Industrial. We got into what a class actually looks like there (Skill Development, Shooting, and 3-on-3, all 75 minutes) and Lee's brush-your-teeth logic: you can't cram basketball skills into two weeks before a season, you show up once a week, year-round, and it sticks. That's what we started doing with my son Sam. He's there one day a week, and we've already seen real improvement, enough that we'll probably bump it up to two days a week. I asked him about EHBL, the in-house league EHB runs opposite the traditional winter season across all four of their metro Atlanta gyms, and we also talked about NIKE Basketball Camps, which EHB has run as the official Southeast provider since 2005. The skills membership itself, which is what we do, is month-to-month (Starter, All-Star, or MVP), no long-term contract. It's a great starting point that won't break the bank, and it gets your kid used to just showing up for training every week. --- Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-337

336 - Saints + Council Plans Second Location at Perimeter - William Pitts and Ian Winslade
Podcast 336 - Saints + Council Plans Second Location at Perimeter - William Pitts and Ian Winslade Saints + Council is coming to Perimeter Mall. If you've had brunch at the original in Midtown, you already know why that's a big deal. Saints + Council founder William Pitts and Culinary Director Ian Winslade just held their groundbreaking ceremony on the mall's parking lot outparcel next to Lazy Dog, and they walked me through everything that's coming. The building will run about 8,000 square feet with fireplaces, water features, and a covered patio with a telescoping roof. We got into the origin story behind the Dutch Baby, the dish that almost became the whole concept before Saints + Council grew into a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant. We got into their menu favorites like braised short rib and a lemon miso salmon. William also got real about company culture, real paid vacation, 50 percent covered medical, and paid maternity leave for restaurant staff, which isn't something you hear about often in this industry. There's a personal layer to this one too. The new spot sits right across the street from Café Intermezzo, where William shared his last meal with his father years ago, and it's just down the street from where he lives now. His first two restaurants have already shown real success, Saints + Council in Midtown and his Oaxacan-inspired Cuevacía, both under his restaurant group Spur Hospitality, are thriving. Permits are still in progress, and they're targeting a 2027 opening.

335 - Building Community in Dunwoody at Crema Espresso Gourmet - Roey Shoshan
Podcast 335 - Building Community in Dunwoody at Crema Espresso Gourmet - Roey Shoshan Thirteen years ago, a small group of friends missing the coffee culture they grew up with back in Israel took over an old butcher shop on Mount Vernon Road and turned it into Crema. Roey Shoshan was one of them, and he joined me to talk about how that little shop became one of the most loved gathering spots in Dunwoody. Roey and his co-founders sold their stake in 2014 to Erez Inbal, who took over with business partner Udi Goldstein and has carried Crema forward ever since. Roey doesn't take the credit for what it's become. He points straight to Erez for building it into what he calls Dunwoody's version of Cheers, the kind of place where the staff knows your order and your name before you say a word. We also got into why Dunwoody has seen a real coffee shop boom since COVID, and why Crema's still the one everyone else is measuring up to. We talked about the choices behind that feeling too. Crema still doesn't have a drive thru on purpose, Erez wants people walking in the door and saying hello. During COVID, when so much of Dunwoody shut down, Crema found ways to stay open for the community that leaned on it. It also traces back to a serious investment in their espresso machine, a La Marzocco, on day one. Roey works at the JCC too, and we touched on what that place means to Dunwoody, though that's a conversation for its own episode. --- Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-335

334 - The Low-Key Walk That Became Dunwoody's Newest Community - Jess Zeewy & Delia O'Malley
Podcast 334 - The Low-Key Walk That Became Dunwoody's Newest Community - Jess Zeewy & Delia O'Malley Jess Zeewy and Delia O'Malley were just doing their normal walk around Brook Run Park, until they decided to invite some friends along. 27 Dunwoody women showed up. We talked about their zero expectations philosophy, why admitting adult friendship is hard, and how the group spans every age. That first week, a 21 year old fresh out of college showed. As well as a 67 year old brand new to Dunwoody who didn't know a soul yet. Jess brings her background as a personal trainer and nutritionist, and Delia's own wellness journey over the years shapes how judgment free it all feels. Lucky Goat Coffee Co. became their official post walk spot after owner Josh reached out within hours of launch, wanting real community and offering to help. Their GroupMe has grown to about 108 women strong. Lucky Goat's celebrating its one year anniversary this week, with a Kendra Scott event coming in August, and a Pure Barre class in the works for September. If you want to join in, they walk Sunday mornings at 10am and Wednesday evenings at 6pm, both at Brook Run Park. No pressure, no sign up required, just show up. --- Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-334

333 - How IHG Became One of Dunwoody's Biggest Community Partners - Colin Macdonald
Podcast 333 - How IHG Became One of Dunwoody's Biggest Community Partners - Colin Macdonald Dunwoody just had its 50th annual 4th of July Parade, and by every account it was the biggest and best one yet. IHG Hotels & Resorts was this year's platinum sponsor, and I sat down with Colin Macdonald, who runs IHG's franchise operations across the U.S. and Canada, to find out why a company headquartered in Dunwoody keeps showing up for this city. Turns out the parade was just one small piece of it. We also got into IHG Army Hotels, the part of the business that runs hotels right on military bases, the renovation that turned Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia into a real destination under GM Sharon Kilmartin, and IHG's work fighting human trafficking alongside groups like Wellspring Living and Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp. IHG has been headquartered behind Ravinia for more than thirty years now, with about 1,300 employees and five hotels right here in Dunwoody. If you haven't tried Parkwoods, the restaurant and bar on Ravinia's ground floor, or the Backyard at Parkwoods out back, put it on your list, especially once the holiday lights go up in December. And a big thank you to the IHG team, they didn't just show up on parade day, they helped us spread the word beforehand too. Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-333

332 - A New Season, a New Stadium, and Players Who Make Dunwoody Proud - Coach Matt Schmitz
Podcast 332 - A New Season, a New Stadium, and Players Who Make Dunwoody Proud - Coach Matt Schmitz Coach Schmitz is back on the podcast, and Dunwoody football is in an exciting spot. It had been almost a year since our last conversation, and the program is heading into year two with real momentum, a returning coaching staff, and nearly a hundred kids on the roster. We covered a lot. Coach talked about why keeping Dunwoody kids home matters more to him than recruiting new ones, and how the Junior Wildcats feed right into the high school program under the same booster club. We got into the Chamblee rivalry and the Golden Spike, the football team carrying that giant American flag in the July 4th parade, and why so many families are choosing Dunwoody these days. We also dug into the new home field. Seacrest Stadium will finally give the Wildcats their own place to play on campus, instead of sharing a field with Chamblee. It is made possible by a major gift from Dunwoody alum Ryan Seacrest, matched by the community through the Bring It Home campaign, and it brings Coach Mike Nash's old dream of Dunwoody kids walking to their own game within reach. Between a returning staff, a deep roster, and a new home field on the way, there is a lot to look forward to this fall. Give it a listen and get ready for some Wildcat football.

331 - Dunwoody's Insider Summer Guide, From the 50th Parade to the World Cup - Mark Galvin
Podcast 331 - Dunwoody's Insider Summer Guide, From the 50th Parade to the World Cup - Mark Galvin After watching the U.S. beat Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup — one of the most historic wins in U.S. soccer history — the energy around Dunwoody this summer is electric. Mark Galvin of Discover Dunwoody came on the podcast already pumped about the World Cup, and it's easy to see why: local restaurants are setting up watch parties all over town and the whole community is fired up. High Street is expanding fast, Perimeter Mall is getting its biggest overhaul in years, and a brand new tearoom at Park Place just opened that Mark says rivals anything in Atlanta. Dunwoody is quietly leveling up, and this conversation is the fastest way to catch up. If you're looking for something fun to do with your kids, I got early access to Thrillz in Doraville, an indoor adventure park near Assembly Atlanta with trampolines, zip lines, and 35-foot slides. We also grabbed tickets to Big League Wiffle Ball at Assembly, backed by Gary Vee, Kevin Costner, Tony Robbins, TI, and Julio Jones. It might be the most fun $7 you'll spend this summer. All of that plus the 50th Dunwoody 4th of July Parade, where Discover Dunwoody is bringing the trolley and handing out red, white, and blue soccer balls. Fifty years.

330 - Dunwoody Tavern is Bringing Back their Dunwoody Beer Fest as Tunes and Taps - Huw Thomas & Miguel Romero
Podcast 330 - Dunwoody Tavern is Bringing Back their Dunwoody Beer Fest as Tunes and Taps - Huw Thomas & Miguel Romero Huw Thomas has been running pubs in Dunwoody longer than most of us have lived here, and Miguel Romero of Taqueria Los Hermanos has become one of the most beloved anchors at the Shops of Dunwoody. Together, they're bringing back a Dunwoody tradition that drew thousands of people a year over more than a decade. And it's happening May 30. Huw's story is one of my favorites. He moved here just before the 1996 Olympics, looked around at a neighborhood with nowhere to grab a beer and a burger, and decided to fix that. That became Dunwoody Tavern. Thirty years later, Dunwoody Restaurant Group has five active locations across metro Atlanta, and Huw has had buildings named after his company at Camp Twin Lakes because of a 30-year fundraising partnership with the charity. Tunes & Taps is the new version of the Dunwoody Beer Fest, and it's going down May 30 from 4 to 10pm at the Shops of Dunwoody. Your $20 gets you in the door, live music from Mike Veal Band and the Basement Band, great food, and a raffle for $3,000 in DRG gift cards. Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to Camp Twin Lakes, and 20% of Dunwoody Tavern's sales that day go to the charity too.

329 - Dine Around Dunwoody Brings Food and Music to New Spots Across the City - Tim Brown
Podcast 329 - Dine Around Dunwoody Brings Food and Music to New Spots Across the City - Tim Brown Food Truck Thursdays is getting a refresh, and DHA President Tim Brown joined me to break it all down. After 15 years as a Dunwoody staple, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association decided it was time to shake things up, and what they came up with is worth getting excited about. Dine Around Dunwoody is the new series: five events from May through October, each one at a different location around the city. Think family-friendly food trucks, live music or DJs, and yes, the Chick-fil-A cow. Instead of everyone coming to Brook Run every time, the DHA is bringing the party to Spruill Center's hidden courtyard, the amphitheater at High Street, and spots a lot of Dunwoody residents have honestly never visited. And Moondog Growlers is back as the adult beverage partner, which Tim says was the most-requested community return of the year. This episode is also a great window into how much the DHA has evolved lately. New logo, new website, a growing social media presence, and a slogan that says it all: "Neighbors Connecting Neighbors." Tim gives a lot of credit to the team around him, and it shows. The kickoff is May 21 at Brook Run Park from 5:30 to 9 PM. Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-329

328 - How Discover Dunwoody Is Selling the City to the World - Mark Galvin
Podcast 328 - How Discover Dunwoody Is Selling the City to the World - Mark Galvin Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody sat down with me this week, and we got into some fun conversation. With World Cup coming to Atlanta and Dunwoody sitting on its strongest lineup of restaurants, events, and hotels in years, Mark makes the case that his organization has never had a bigger opportunity in front of them. A lot of Dunwoody locals have a general sense of what Discover Dunwoody does, but the reality is bigger than most people realize. Mark's team has been running TV commercials in Mexico, Argentina, and Spain through Gray Digital Media and Telemundo stations, advertising Dunwoody to international soccer fans in their native Spanish. The strategy is straightforward: Dunwoody does not need to compete with downtown Atlanta. It just needs to be found. Their tagline captures it perfectly. "Above Atlanta and Beyond Expectations." We also talked about the real restaurant numbers (50+ new openings in four years, and yes, Mark gently corrected a stat I have been misquoting on this show), Stäge Kitchen and Bar now open at Campus 244, the brand new Le Faucheur Tearoom at Park Place, The Daily Pilates at Ashford Lane, the Dunwoody Arts Festival on Mother's Day weekend, World Cup soccer balls at the 4th of July Parade, and Create Dunwoody's DoorWoody art installations going up in the Village. Mark knows this city as well as anyone. Full episode at whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-328.

Podcast 327 - How to Get Involved in Dunwoody’s Nonprofits - Catherine Lautenbacher & Beth Lehman Catherine Lautenbacher and Beth Lehman are back on the podcast with something new to Dunwoody. A volunteer fair. On Friday, May 1st, the First Annual Perimeter Community Volunteer Fair is happening at Dunwoody United Methodist Church from 10am to 1pm, and if you've been meaning to get more involved in your community, this is your entry point. Here's something that might surprise you. Catherine did a quick count and Dunwoody alone has at least 34 nonprofits, and every single one of them is looking for help. The problem has never been a shortage of opportunities. It's been knowing where to find them. Beth organized this fair as her Leadership Perimeter class project specifically for people who want to give back but haven't figured out where they fit yet. The fair brings 12 to 15 local organizations under one roof, from well-known names like the Community Assistance Center to Sandy Springs Youth Sports. You can walk in not knowing what you want to do and walk out with a real commitment. Head to igottavolunteer.com to see who's coming, and show up to see how you can help.

Podcast 326 - Why World-Class Chefs Keep Showing Up to Cook in Dunwoody - Billy Kramer The Burger Benefit is back for one final year, with chefs like George Motz, Vinnie Cimino, Kevin Rathbun, and Freddy Money cooking one-day-only burgers at NFA Dunwoody on May 3rd. Every ticket dollar goes directly to the Giving Kitchen, and tickets just went on sale today. We also got deep into the Dunwoody restaurant scene. Forty-one restaurants opened here last year, and Billy made a strong case for why Dunwoody is a unicorn compared to every other market he looked at for expansion. We talked about what the Giving Kitchen actually does for food service workers in crisis, and why Billy is now permanently donating a quarter from every NFA burger sold. If you have never been to the Burger Benefit, this is the one to go to. It is the last one ever, the lineup is the best it has ever been, and the cause could not be more worthy.

324 – High Street Expansion, Perimeter Mall Updates, and Kroger Gas
Podcast 324 – High Street Expansion, Perimeter Mall Updates, and Kroger Gas Dunwoody is having a moment, and you can feel it in the steady wave of new businesses, fresh concepts, and cranes in the sky. Mark Galvin from Discover Dunwoody connects the dots on what’s changing around the Perimeter area, and why it all matters for locals. The High Street project is bigger than most people realize, stretching farther than expected and shaping up to rival Avalon with a strong focus on restaurants, retail, and walkability. Add in names like Varuni Napoli, Krua Thai, and Patrones, and you can feel the food scene leveling up fast. Even spots near the office corridors are coming back to life. Over at Perimeter Mall, a major food court relocation and new retail like Aritzia signal long-term confidence. Throw in fun concepts like Bunker Golf and a growing lineup of events, and progress in Dunwoody just keeps getting better.

Podcast 323 – What Dunwoody Parents Need to Know Before the March 26 DHS Meeting – Andrew Ziffer Thursday, March 26th at Dunwoody High School is shaping up to be one of the most important nights for local parents in quite some time. A 6pm meeting gives Dunwoody residents a chance to weigh in on school redistricting plans that could reshape our community. DeKalb School Board member Andrew Ziffer breaks down what’s driving the conversation. The district has thousands of empty seats overall. Dunwoody elementary schools follow that trend, yet Dunwoody High School is overcrowded. The goal is simple but tough: use existing space better with minimal disruption to the elementary schools neighbors love. Vanderlyn and Kingsley seem to be at the center of closure discussions, and Chesnut for expansion. Be sure to show up Thursday night and make your voice heard!

Podcast 322 – Dunwoody High Reopens Its Renovated Theater with Little Women – Amanda Lower Dunwoody High School’s newly renovated theater is stepping into the spotlight with the Broadway musical Little Women. Director of Theatre Amanda Lower explains how the upgrade is transforming the Wildcat Theatre program and giving students hands-on experience with professional-level lighting and sound. A new LED lighting system lets students control stage color and mood digitally instead of swapping old-school gels, creating a more polished show while teaching real technical theater skills. Amanda also shares how classes like acting, improv, technical theater, and public speaking help students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork. Beyond the stage, the Dunwoody High speech team is also finding success in competitions around metro Atlanta. Opening night Friday includes a special gala celebrating the renovated theater, complete with refreshments and a short video showing off the new lighting and sound system. It’s a big moment for arts education in Dunwoody.

Podcast 321 – How Morty’s Expansion and {S}table Are Reshaping Funwoody – Mitchell Abes Mitchell Abes shares how a few unexpected opportunities in Dunwoody Village allowed the Funwoody team to think bigger. When extra space suddenly became available, they did not hesitate. Walls were pushed back and new concepts took shape, creating fresh momentum near Perimeter Mall. {S}table is opening soon in the former Steak and Grace space with a modern Southern menu designed for real life in Dunwoody. Think fried chicken, rich comfort flavors, and a space that works just as well for brunch as it does for date night. Just steps away, Morty’s expanded its footprint, added the Smokehouse Stage, and now hosts trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke on select Thursdays, and Dueling Pianos every Friday and Saturday starting March 6. Then there is Green Eggs and Kegs on April 18, the “best party in the burbs.” From 1 to 5 pm, the courtyard and parking lot fills with 30 restaurants, 50 drink sponsors, and live music from 770’s and Family Truckster, all benefiting Breakthrough T1D.
