t the upcoming event calendar in The Local. We have put together a definitive dining list to spark the interest of people who have never sampled some of the independently owned fabulous eateries but still want to discover the true taste of Dothan. The city is indeed full of corporate restaurants ready to deliver the same experience and recipes which are favorites around the country, but we would like to put a spotlight on the small proprietor ships that are doing things their way. This gives you a true sense of what a treat Dothan dining can be.
