You probably wouldn’t expect to find a sleek gastropub in a strip mall, and if you did, you probably wouldn’t expect its food to be rooted in French and Italian tradition. But that's what you'll find at Foundation Social Eatery, an unassuming storefront in Roswell that's defying all preconceived notions of strip mall dining. The kitchen tricks out seemingly ordinary dishes with bold ingredients and intricate techniques, like house-made fettucine with chicken bolognese. Dessert and drinks are no different, with pastry proffer like acorn squash cheesecake and cocktails made with mead and Creole shrubs. The takeaway: don't judge a restaurant by its strip mall locale.
