Damon Johnson’s Successful Collaboration at Black Restaurant Week Atlanta

Restaurateur, businessman, and owner of Fin & Feathers Restaurants, Damon Johnson, collaborated with restaurant real estate broker Bryan Davis for the second leg of Black Restaurant Week in Atlanta. Alongside black spirit owners and representatives from Stella Artois, Greenwood Whiskey, and influential tastemakers of Atlanta, the networking mixer exuded confidence and success.

“This Stella Artois beer is highly enjoyable; it possesses a balanced strength suitable for all, regardless of gender,” remarked a female patron at the event. “Initially sampling my husband’s beer, I found myself desiring my own.” This enthusiastic conversation echoed throughout the restaurant.

Wings are available on the $5 Happy Hour Menu

“The catfish nuggets and the thigh nuggets were absolutely fantastic,” exclaimed a Microsoft tech enthusiast. “When I stumbled upon the event flyer online, I just had to come over here for the complimentary drinks. Guess what? I was even more thrilled when I discovered the $5 Menu.”

Numbers were being exchanged, selfies and group photos were being taken throughout, reflecting the high level of engagement within the group of business professionals. Their palpable excitement about the food, drinks, and the stimulating conversations with new acquaintances indicated a truly invigorating gathering.

Fin and Feathers offers its $5.00 menu daily from 12 noon to 8 pm on weekdays and from 5 pm to 8 pm on weekends. Visit one of their locations in Douglasville, Edgewood, Riverdale, Midtown, Valdosta, Las Vegas; or Augie’s Cafe and Augie’s Cafe Breakfast Bar in Atlanta, Georgia.

Franchisee Owner Lashaun Drew’s Towel Drive for local Homeless shelter Successful

Lashaun Drew business owner of The Original Hot Dog Factory in Voorhees, NJ had an amazing run with her “Towel Drive” she started mid January and extended through the end of Black History Month (February). What started off as an attempt to collect towels for at least 300 people for the Homeless Shelter “The Joseph House of Camden” turned into over 1000 towels and blankets as well being collected from people who donated all over the world.

Those who were not able to come in and donate locally actually asked for the address and mailed in their donations. Others were able to contribute funds through a donation button located on Lashaun Drew’s facebook page. Vinny Curry (defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles) was even able to spread the word through his social media story. When you are collecting goods for any drive, it stands true everyone’s efforts to spread the word is a good deed done.

The towels will be delivered in the month of March. Please check back for updates. Job well done Lashaun Drew & congrats on the bravery to open up a new business during these pandemic times. You are the real M.V.P.
