Experience Rasoi Indian Kitchen

BY JONATHAN DOCKERY INFO@THECITYMENUS.COM

R

asoi Indian Kitchen’s chef brings his home flavors directly from the State of Punjab, India. Directly bordered with Pakistan, Punjab is the sixteenth most populous state in India with over 27 million people.

The chef told us during an exquisite tasting and interview that Rasoi actually means “kitchen.” He says, “Everything is made from scratch, nothing is bought from a supermarket, it’s all made in house with traditional recipes and my own creations.” The chef ’s secret to his delicious dishes is the base gravy that he churns at the start to each day.

Indian cuisine has recently gained popularity in many communities across the East Coast. At Rasoi’s chef prepares all the menu selections to

order, maintaining the authenticity that Indian food is known for. He selected Rasoi’s location at Highway 34 and Sullivan Road based on the response from his friends, “Many of my friends were doctors in the area, and they kept coming to me mentioning the lack of international food options, so I opened the restaurant. I’ve been in the industry for 30 years.” In learning more about the customers visiting, The chef and his staff realized ninety-percent of the patrons are from the area.

The chef ’s first restaurant was in downtown Savannah area before moving to El Paso, Texas, where he met his wife and opened a new restaurant! His wife loves being married to an Indian chef, he tells us. At Rasoi Indian Kitchen, there is heartfelt passion in everything he cooks. His favorites are listed under specialty items on the menu.

Most items are cooked in a Karahi, an Indian iron skillet. Rasoi’s chef recommends the lamb. He makes his own spice blend, a signature masala mix.

This is a mixture of different seeds that he grinds in house to the right percentage amount and makes the masala.

During my very own tasting Lamb Chop Boti and Pompano were delivered to the table in a sizzling skillet.

Beforehand it had been marinated and suspended inside the Tandoor oven,

The flavors and experience were incomparable to anything I’ve had before. I certainly recommend both the tender lamb chop and delicious pompano fish.

Other dishes on the menu you must try include Tandoor chicken and Veg Samosas, they latter a pastry stuffed with potatoes and peas. Do not forget dessert! Try the Gulab Jaman - sweet cream balls soaked in a cardamom syrup. Both Fruit Lassi (mango or strawberry yogurt drink) and Masala Chai (dark tea with spices and milk) are excellent treats to go with dessert.

The chef tells us, “We strive for excellence and consistency. Our customers are coming to eat here again and again.

You are our extended family.”

Rasoi hosts a $9.95 lunch buffet from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The lunch buffet allows you an opportunity to taste all the unique flavors from their menu. You can also enjoy the lunch buffet for $11.95 on Saturday and Sunday. Children 4 to 10 years of age eat for $5.95. Dinner is served Tuesday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Halal meat is always available. Catering is offered for all occasions.

Newnan’s unique spot for fashion

PHOTOS BY JONATHAN DOCKERY Emily Westergreen, the “Fashionista,” at work in the Underground Runway. RIGHT: Underground Railway

BY JONATHAN DOCKERY

INFO@THECITYMENUS.COM

unique spot for fashion is hidden in the basement of Emily and Todd Westergreen’s new antebellum home in downtown Newnan. Their home was recently featured in an episode of HGTV’s House Hunters. She tells us, “We would’ve never gotten this house in Atlanta and the show really displayed Newnan very positively.”

Emily’s boutique, Underground Runway, is primarily a c c e s s i bl e through a Facebook group.

She sells ever ything from specialty items to select women’s fashions in the group.

She tells us, “I spend so much time at New York fashion week handpicking items to freight back to Newnan for the shop. Many of my good friends are in New York, and I have spent so much time in the industry.”

She ships around 50% of everything to customers from her boutique. As we looked around her workspace most of the pric-

ing averages $75 or lower. She says, “New York is unique and so many people work in the fashion industry, so the space is limited to find good pricing.” Many of the brands in her boutique are gone in a matter of minutes after posting. Emily laughs, “When I post BCBG and Rebecca Taylor, it’s gone.”

Her personal stylist touch combined with consignment shop prices allows her to cater better to clients. Emily remains connected to her Facebook group and is always answering questions. Emily says, “I can do it when I want to, I help cater to sizing needs, and merchandise is higher quality because its designer.” Emily also allows those interested in visiting her shop to make an appointment through her Facebook group.

About half of the items are new, and the other half are used.

When asked about opening a storefront Emily says, “People like the private shopping experience and I like the one-on-one service. If I opened a storefront it would take away from the experience. I can keep my prices low and be on my on time with minimal overhead costs.”

In closing she adds, “I want to change the way Newnan dresses.”

Deputies honored for lifesaving actions

hen it comes to cardiac arrest, seconds matter.

For one local man, seconds provided by two deputies made a life-changing difference.

Coweta deputies Charlie Hall and Stacy Beckom were honored by Piedmont Newnan Hospital as part of the hospital’s First Friday Heroes program, held Wednesday at the sheriff ’s office.

On April 11, Hall responded to a 911 call in Sharpsburg regarding several cows loose from a nearby pasture. As the cow’s owner and Hall got the last cow wrangled in, the man suddenly collapsed, falling to the ground with no pulse and in apparent cardiac arrest.

After calling for medical help, Hall began performing CPR on the side of the road until Beckom arrived to assist. The two men took turns performing CPR until personnel from Coweta County Fire Rescue arrived and trans-

ported the man to Piedmont Newnan Hospital.

The victim was ultimately transferred to Piedmont Atlanta and was determined to have triple vessel coronary angioplasty.

After a 16-day critical care journey, the man was sent home. He recently underwent successful open-heart surgery, according to Vicki Kaiser, executive director of oncology, support services and community affairs with Piedmont Newnan Hospital.

“The life-saving efforts by deputies Hall and Beckom were critical to the survival of this patient during a medical emergency,” Kaiser said. “Their quick response and administering of CPR saved this man’s life.”

The man who revived the life saving assistance from Beckom also turned out to be his neighbor.

“We’re happy to report he’s back

home and resting,” Beckom said.

According to the American Heart Association, some 350,000 cardiac arrest cases occur outside of a hospital each year.

For those victims, their survival rate is less than 12 percent. However, those who receive CPR see their chances for survival doubled, if not tripled.

Both deputies were presented with certificates of commendation from the hospital for going above and beyond the call of duty, along with a glass photo frame with their photos inside printed with the First Friday Hero emblem and a copy of the poster.

The First Friday Hero program began in April 2019 and recognizes first responders on a monthly basis who go above and beyond the call of duty.

“Their line of work is often a thankless one, and we want to make sure the community is aware of our local heroes

and all they do to make Coweta and our surrounding communities a better and safer place,” Kaiser said.

Representatives from the sheriff ’s office thanked hospital representatives for the acknowledgment and recognition of first responders.

Major Mark Fenninger said while the sheriff ’s office is proud to receive the accolades, the recognition should be shared with Coweta County Fire Rescue, who provides the majority of deputies’ life-saving training.

“They’re the ones who pushed for us to get that training many years ago and have helped us get to where we are today,” Fenninger said, “Our officers always want to help and don’t want to sit there when something bad is happening.”

Briggs ‘proud of what I accomplished’ on MasterChef Junior

BY REBECCA LEFTWICH BECKY@NEWNAN.COM

N

ewnan’s Reid Briggs won’t appear in Tuesday’s finale of “MasterChef Junior,” but he said his elimination from the competition won’t stop him from rooting for his friends Ivy, Che and Malia.

“People should watch it because they’re all three good cooks, and I’m rooting or all three of them,” Briggs said. “They’re all smart, talented and good sports.”

Briggs saw his Season 7 run end one episode short of the finals. But he said finishing as a top 6 semifinalist was an accomplishment.

“I’m disappointed I’m not in the finale, but I’m proud of what I accomplished,” he said in a post-semifinals interview on the show. “I stepped out of my comfort zone, I cooked my heart out, and I did my best.”

Back home in Newnan, Briggs – a rising fifth-grader at Brooks Elementary School – has had a busy spring. His twin siblings graduated from Northgate High School, and the past few weeks have been a flurry of post-school and pre-summer activity. And the nine weeks he and his mom, Ginger, spent in a California hotel room during MasterChef Junior filming are more than a year in the past.

“California was…interesting,” said Briggs, who was not quite 9 when he headed for the west coast along with 49 other hopefuls.

Two dozen home cooks ages 8-13 made the cut for the show, including seven from Georgia – including finalist Ivy, who is from Atlanta. Briggs was the youngest contestant left in last week’s penultimate episode, during which each of the six remaining contestants received notes from home, parts of which they shared out loud with tears in their eyes.

At that point, the contestants had neither been home nor seen most of their families in months. So the judges brought in surprise guests, two mem-

Briggs’ dad, Tim, and his brother, Cade, appeared on the episode, during which the cooks were charged with creating a meal to honor their guests.

Briggs fell back on his Southern roots to serve the judges a well-received meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, English peas and buttermilk gravy.

It was a special moment for Tim Briggs.

“He didn’t read all of the note I wrote for him on camera,” he said. “I talked some about my mama, his Memaw. I reminded him how she’d taught him to make biscuits. I said she was looking at him.”

For Ginger Briggs, nine weeks in a hotel room across the country from her home was as taxing as her young son’s cooking challenges, especially when filming started in early April 2018, weeks before school ended. An on-set tutor was provided, but Ginger said

Brooks Elementary fourth-grade teacher Faith Wheeler made sure Briggs had what he needed to successfully complete third grade.

“When we knew we were going to have to withdraw him, she provided me the lesson plans,” Ginger said. “All we had to do was go out there and give them to the on-set teacher, and then we would talk to her in the evening time.

She was wonderful.”

The show filmed two episodes a week, Mondays through Saturdays. In between, young contestants spent time in a park behind their hotel, playing kickball and trying to catch squirrels.

“Those squirrels were huge,” Briggs said. “When we came back home to our squirrels, they looked diseased.”

He managed to lure one close enough to feed it cereal, and the ungrateful creature bit his finger. Tim said he joked that the young hunter could have made it into a MasterChef Junior-worthy dish.

“I told him he should have beat that

Bypass clearing for apartment complex

BY SARAH FAY CAMPBELL SARAH@NEWNAN.COM

A

large clearing and grading project on the Newnan Crossing Bypass between Lower Fayetteville Road and Poplar Road is for a 320-unit apartment complex.

The 31-acre tract also has a six-acre commercial component, according to Dean Smith of the Newnan Planning Department.

The city has not received any plans for commercial development at the site, Smith said.

The Newnan City Council approved the rezoning for The Springs at Newnan Crossing in August 2018. The property was rezoned from Community Shopping Center District to Mixed-Use Development District. The property backs up to Interstate 85.

Wheeler of Continental Properties said the company was attracted to Newnan because of its rapid growth, and that the city lacks enough apartment supply to meet the quality standards of residents who can afford to rent new apartments.

“We’ve seen low multi-family supply in recent years, and supply isn’t keeping up with demand,” Wheeler said at the time.

The developers stated in August that they planned to include a mix of apartment styles from studio to three-bedroom in sizes ranging from 550 to 1,400 square feet, with rents of $900 to $1,400 a month.

The nearby Residences of Newnan Crossing Boulevard East, across from Kroger, is set to have 300 apartment units.

Faith is developed by meditating on God’s Word. Fear is developed by meditating on Satan’s lies. Such fearful meditation is called “worrying.” Don’t do it!

The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit.

Use it to fight Satan every time he comes against you. Hold up your shield of faith and quench all of his fiery darts. Speak words of faith and fear will depart.

From page 7

the restaurant takeover episode, when hot oil splashed on his hand.

“I really burned my hand bad, and it blistered up,” he said. “You’re supposed to lay away from you, not toward you. I was talking to Malia next to me and (the meat) dropped. It

spattered on my hand and a little on her face. They sprayed it with some type of spray, put cream on it and wrapped my hand up.”

Ginger said the injury left only a slight physical scar, but her son is still “gun shy” about cooking on the stove.

“People don’t realize how bad it was,” she said. “Some of the blisters blistered up so fast that they popped right then. He’s still trying to get over it. He’s better at a grill because you

don’t have anything that’s spattering.”

Briggs left California before the final episode, so he’ll find out with the rest of American who claims the Season 7 title. When the finale was being filmed, he was back in Georgia, rooting for Cade in the state high school fishing tournament.

“His brother came out to California to support him, and Reid wanted to support him at the tournament,” Ginger said.

Briggs said he hopes Ramsay makes good on his promise to come for a visit so they can all do some “killing and grilling.”

“He did this video where he noodled (caught catfish with his bare hands) and then went out on the bank and cooked it,” Briggs said. “I want to do that.”

The “MasterChef Junior” season 7 finale airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday on the Fox network..

Historic Madison Street buildings to get facelift

BY W. WINSTON SKINNER WINSTON@NEWNAN.COM

T

he buildings at 34 and 36 Madison St. have seen a lot of history.

According to local legend, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s car was stored there for a time.

The buildings have been used for various purposes – a garage, a grocery store, a furniture store, a hotdog shop and a political campaign headquarters.

Now the building – just a block from the historic courthouse square – is set to be refurbished. Courtney Harcourt, Newnan Main Street manager, said Josh Steed of Steed Properties Ltd. has purchased the building with plans to refurbish it and lease the space.

“Their current plan calls for four residential units, loft apartments, and two commercial spaces,” Harcourt said at the most recent meeting of the Newnan Downtown Development Authority.

There’s a lot going on near 34/36 Madison. One wall is along Wadsworth Alley, which has been decorated with art and cleaned to become a spot for downtown employees, residents and visitors to relax.

Just around the corner, a storefront is getting reworked to become an event center. The 34/36 Madison tract consists of two brick buildings. The property has in the past been referred to as the Roosevelt Garage.

At an earlier meeting, Harcourt indicated the developer was looking at using 10 percent owner funds and 50 percent financing from United Bank, with the remainder of project funding coming from loans from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and the Georgia Cities Foundation.

The DDA works with the DOCA/ Georgia Cities Foundation program.

The use for the retail spaces has not been determined. "He has interest from a variety of tenants," Harcourt said of the developer. Total cost for the project is estimated at $850,000-$900,000.

PHOTO BY WINSTON SKINNER The buildings at 34/36 Madison St. are set for redevelopment as two street level commercial spaces with four loft apartments upstairs. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s car is said to have been stored at the site.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the nation's 45th president, sometimes passed through Newnan on his way to his rural retreat at Warm Springs in Meriwether County. FDR began visiting Warm Springs after contracting polio in the 1920s and died there, shortly after beginning his fourth term, in 1945.

There is no specific documentation that verifies the story about the storage of his car on Madison Street, but the tale has been passed "from owner to owner" as the property has changed hands, attorney George Johnson, who then owned the property, said in 2015.

The known history of the property is

recorded back into the 1800s. In 1885, the land was vacant. Four years later, there was "a single livery stable building that eventually will be divided into two," Johnson said.

Records continue to show a livery stable in 1889 and 1911, as well as on a 1906 map. A garage and filling station were on the property in 1927.

By 1955, "the front part has been changed to a filling station," Johnson said in 2015. The back was being used for automobile and grocery storage.

Roosevelt reportedly allowed the medical staff at the rehabilitation center he created in Warm Springs to borrow

his car.

It has been theorized that a doctor or nurse who borrowed the car may have stored the presidential vehicle at the Madison Street building while spending time in Newnan.

The current work at 34/36 Madison is part of a trend for redevelopment downtown. Harcourt said Main Street is seeing lots of people looking at grants for facades. There is “a big investor wave,” she said.

Ray DuBose, who serves on both the DDA and the Newnan City Council, observed that downtown is “an active district” with lots happening.
