Fresh Foodie on the Scene

Meghan Lassiter - Server at Zest

On a recent trip to Zest, my server was so enthusiastic and fun that I just had to know more about her and share her with the blog. Aside from providing outstanding food service, her retro turquoise glasses and enthusiasm for all things food made her an inspiration for a brand-new blog concept: Fresh Foodie on the Scene. It's fitting that Meghan is the first!
