Waking up in

late September makes me almost giddy. The warm, moist air we've been used

to for three months is starting to give way to cooler breezes.

People who

have avoided going out for weeks because of the stifling humidity now

seem to have a spring in their step.

Fall usually

means new restaurant openings, and Fayetteville residents will be able

to sample at least four new restaurants this autumn.

Bugaboo

Creek Steakhouse opened last week just south of the Fayette Pavilion

shopping center. According to the company's Web site, the chain operates

24 restaurants in the northeastern and southeastern U.S. and models itself

after a Canadian ski resort. The eatery is known for its steaks.

Moe's Southwestern

Grill is also slated to open later this fall, adjacent to Bugaboo

Creek. This Tex-Mex chain prides itself on fresh ingredients and offers

up some of the tastiest, and largest burritos in the area.

Ted's Montana

Grill opens next month behind Bugaboo Creek. Fayette foodies are already

familiar with Ted Turner's excellent bison burgers, because the chain

already has an outpost in Peachtree City.

The Cozy

Cafe , located in the old Tony's restaurant on Ga. Highway 85. Workers

are busy painting the building and putting up new signs for the third

restaurant incarnation in this space. Prior to Tony's, the restaurant

served up Italian food and as called Milano's.

The new options

are helping to enhance the reputation of Fayette as a dining destination

on the Southside. Now, if we only had a dim sum place to head to on the

weekends ...
