Chef Karen Patton of Sweet Potato Cafe (@sweetpotatocafe)

Nestled in the heart of the Historic Village of Stone Mountain you’ll  find Sweet Potato Café. The ambiance is just as delightful as the meals  and every bite is a perfect blend of seasoning and love. Since 2011 Chef  has been crafting her unique, soul fusion, farm to table meals. The  fresh vegetables are often times straight from her charming on-site  garden. Customers are more than intrigued by it all, they are smitten  and often come back for their favorites which include; Fried Green  Tomatoes, the fantastic fish on Fried Fish Fridays or the infamous  Sunday Brunch.Its popularity and exquisite cuisine have not gone  unnoticed. Sweet Potato Café has been awarded the prestigious “100  Plates Locals Love” distinction by Georgia Department of Economic  Development’s Tourism Division (GDEcD) for its Fried Green Tomatoes. It  was the first restaurant in Stone Mountain to be recognized by Atlanta  Eats, as well as highlighted on its website. In addition, Sweet Potato  Café has been featured in the AJC as a top five OTP restaurant for its  Sunday brunch. Although Chef Karen hails from a family of chefs, it was  actually preparing meals for her children that she fell head over heels  in love with cooking. So much so, that she went on to receive her  culinary training from Atlanta Technical College. Which was followed by  five years of perfecting and honing her craft while operating a  successful catering business. Chef Karen is a Georgia Grown member and  over the years has provided cooking demonstrations at Grady Memorial  Hospital for its diabetic patients. She joined First Lady Michelle  Obama’s Chefs Move to Schools initiative, working with the Drew Charter  School in Atlanta, and volunteered at Project Open Hands. She has also  partnered with Atlanta Area Schools for the deaf, providing needed  skills to students needed to work in a restaurant environment.
