What an incredible day at the Taste of Alpharetta last Thursday! Despite a rainy start to the day, the event was bustling and beautifully showcased the strong community spirit of Alpharetta.

A big shout-out to the City of Alpharetta for organizing such a successful, well-attended event. With over 700 food options, attendees were truly spoilt for choice, reflecting the vibrant culinary scene we’re so lucky to have here.

TasteDNA at Taste of Alpharetta: Making Your Food Festival Experience Better

superadmin — Wed, 08 May 2024 17:27:15 +0000

We’re excited to bring TasteDNA’s Food Navigator Tool to this year’s Taste of Alpharetta, offering a new way to enjoy the festival with a personalized touch. Here’s how we’re changing the game for the over 60,000 food lovers attending.

Taste of Aplharetta: About The Event

The Taste of Alpharetta is a major culinary event, established in 1991 in Alpharetta, Georgia. Drawing over 60,000 visitors, it features more than 60 local restaurants and has become one of the South’s most popular food festivals. Attendees can enjoy a variety of tasting portions, live concerts, art exhibits, and culinary competitions, making it a highlight for food lovers and a significant celebration of the community’s vibrant culture.

Easy and Personalized Food Choices

Imagine walking into the festival and knowing right away which foods fit your diet and tastes. That’s what TasteDNA Food Navigator Tool does. Just tell the app what you like or need to avoid, and it shows you where to find food you’ll love. It’s that simple!

Connect with Restaurants

The Food Navigator Tool is more than just about finding great food at the festival. It helps you connect with local restaurants during the event and keep in touch with them afterward. You can discover new places to eat and get special offers, all through the app.

First Time Using This Tech at the Festival

This is the first time the technology like ours will be deployed at an event to help people choose their food. Our app doesn’t just make things easier for you—it also gathers information about what foods are popular and what people prefer. This helps make future events even better.

Join the Food Community

Our Food Feed feature lets you see what others are enjoying and share your own finds. You can post pictures, write reviews, and talk about your favorite dishes. It’s a fun way to be part of a community of fellow food lovers.

Expanding to New Places

After Taste of Alpharetta, we’re bringing our Food Navigator Tool to more exciting locations, including food halls like Politan Row and airports starting with ATL Airport. Each new place helps us improve our service, making every meal experience a great one.

What to Look Forward To

As TasteDNA debuts at Taste of Alpharetta, we’re not just excited to show you a new way to pick your food. We’re also looking forward to making every eating experience personalized, whether you’re at a busy festival or catching a flight.

Join us at Taste of Alpharetta to see how TasteDNA can make your visit even better. It’s more than just eating—it’s about finding the perfect meal for you.

A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Message from TasteDNA

superadmin — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 10:52:06 +0000

This Thanksgiving, we at The Cottage have so much to be grateful for. Our journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support and belief of many incredible people.

Firstly, we extend our deepest thanks to our investors. Your faith in our vision and your generous support have been crucial in our mission to bridge the gap between people and healthier, tastier food. Your belief in us means the world.

We’re equally thankful for the farmers markets and vendors who’ve enriched our experience. Your endless patience in answering our questions and listening to our ideas has been invaluable. We dream of a future where you can focus on your true passion – creating top-notch, healthy food – while we take care of connecting you with your customers. ChefV, your kind words…

“Thank you so much for all of your help! I know that many of the vendors will benefit from you, your team, and your great services. You have been a blessing to me and my family. Thank you again,”

…meant everything to us. Your feedback fuels our late nights, our extensive research, and our commitment, even as we juggle being parents to two energetic boys. Your message truly touched our hearts, and we thank you.

Our gratitude also goes out to our customers and those yet to discover us. What we’re doing is new and different. Even if you don’t realize it yet, your next favorite meal is waiting, and we’re here to guide you to it. Mitch, your words…

“My experience with Bell Biscuits (one of our vendors) was nothing short of amazing! Each biscuit I tried stood out as one of the best I’ve had!!”

…reaffirm our mission. We knew you’d love them, and we can’t wait to bring such joy to others too. Thank you.

A huge thank you to our mentors, whose wisdom and experiences have been a guiding light for us. Your stories of overcoming challenges inspire us to strive for future successes. And to our family and friends, who’ve turned every social gathering into an impromptu focus group – thank you for enjoying all the “sample food” and for your unwavering support.

As we celebrate with family and food this Thanksgiving, we envision a future where feasts are sourced locally from farmers nearby, bringing families together in gratitude, just like ours. Here’s to a season of giving thanks, and to the hope that our future celebrations will bring more families together in thanksgiving too.

Fall, Food, and Friendship: The Cottage’s Recipe for Community

superadmin — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 17:12:16 +0000

Fall is that cozy time when the weather is just right. We love it because it’s perfect for having our friends and neighbors over in our backyard. Ever since we started The Cottage, our menu for these get-togethers has turned into a tasty culinary journey around the world.

We’ve found out that homemade food doesn’t only mean food made in our own home!

Last week, we had one of these special gatherings. Even though we’re knee-deep working to build The Cottage, it was a breeze hosting it with the help from our local food heroes. We’ve found out that homemade food doesn’t only mean food made in our own home. It’s the lovingly made jams, sauces, and pies from the homes of our neighbors who pour their hearts into cooking. And, was it a hit at the gathering!

The meal was a mix of different worlds, just like our guests who came from Indian, Guyanese, Uzbek and other diverse backgrounds. We kicked things off with a variety of local jams. The main course was Nigerian Jollof rice with smoked ribs with herbs from nearby farms, chimichurri from Lalos & Tasteninis, and BBQ sauce from AubSauce and Piedmont BBQ Co. The salad dressing was from Sammy Girl’s Country Kitchen, and for dessert, we had flan from ML Sweets and key lime pies Cotina. Everyone enjoyed the cool drinks from The Culinary Collective and Sooko Gardens Juice. We also enjoyed Pecans from Pecan Nation and Jam from Duluth Cottage Kitchen & Narrow way Farm

With every bite, we saw barriers crumbling and new bonds forming. Food from The Cottage did more than satiate hunger; it became a medium of conversation, a reason to celebrate the diverse cultures amongst us. The joy in the eyes of our guests as they inquired, “Where did you get this from?” for each item they tasted revealed the success of our little endeavor.

Our mission with The Cottage is simple – to break down boundaries between people and delicious food. Looking at the happy faces and hearing the cheerful chatter, we know The Cottage is turning into something really beautiful. Each meal shared, each story told over a dish, is making our community feel like a global family. And as we keep working on The Cottage, we can’t wait to see more of these joyful moments unfold.

If you live in Georgia, please visit and patronize our amazing vendors;

Rain or Shine: The Cottage’s Commitment to Local Food Businesses

superadmin — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 22:45:23 +0000

We are on a journey to becoming Georgia’s largest online community of local food businesses. This fall, our visits to the farmers markets have been drenched in rain, casting a grey cloud not just in the sky but also on the vibrant spirit of local businesses. They tirelessly set up their stalls, only to watch the rain drive customers away.

Besides weather woes, these markets grapple with space constraints, allowing only a limited number of vendors to set up shop. As winter nears, many markets shut down till spring.

We seized this opportunity to interact with these businesses, delving into their challenges and needs. This insight has been invaluable in tailoring our services to effectively address their problems. At the heart of our mission is enabling these local gems to continue whipping up their delicious offerings, while we take care of bringing the market to them, rain or shine.

Today, The Cottage proudly hosts over 250 businesses and offers 1500 local food choices. Our platform is more than transactional exchanges, we are nurturing a community where people can engage with businesses directly, discover, and relish the diverse local flavors available.

We’re a bridge between local businesses and the community, making it possible for them to sell regardless of the weather or season.

TasteDNA, the First Personalized Food Recommendation App, Launches in the App Store and Play Store.

Available for download in the USA and Canada starting May 22, 2023

JOHNS CREEK, GA, May 23, 2023 – TasteDNA, an innovative food recommendation app, has officially launched on the App Store and Google Play Store. Founders Muyiwa and Oyin Familoni have leveraged their passion for food, travel, and technology to create an app that personalizes food discovery, offering a unique value proposition in the market.

TasteDNA was born in April 2022 and has since grown through a Startup Accelerator Program. The app’s strategic plan targets 10,000 users by Q1 2024, indicating promising growth potential.

The technology behind TasteDNA is what sets it apart: the app analyses user’s food preferences and suggests new dishes to try.

Analyzing past food choices and preferences, the app suggests new restaurants and dishes that are tailored to individual tastes, allowing users to trust that their recommendations are personalized and reliable.

TasteDNA is designed to take you on a diverse and delicious taste adventure, exposing you to meals you will love, both within and outside your familiar cuisines. By challenging your taste buds and introducing you to new and exciting flavors from all over the world, the app opens up a whole new world of culinary possibilities, perfect for anyone looking to explore global cuisine without worrying about dietary restrictions.

Revenue Streams

TasteDNA generates income through multiple revenue streams, including premium advertising, affiliate links, APIs, and data licensing.
