Leon’s Full Service in Decatur is hiring. The restaurant posted an ad on Craig’s List looking for full-time and part-time servers, hosts, and bartenders. The ad says, “If you are into sustainable farm-to-table foods, the misty history of absinthe, or how to play bocce ball, let’s talk! If you don’t know much about these things, but have always been curious, we’d be happy to teach you.”
Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe opened officially in Decatur Tuesday. The DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce tweeted a photo of the founder of Taziki’s at the store opening. It’s the fifth Taziki’s to open in Georgia.
