Contributing Writer Liza Dunning

Writer Liza Dunning has lived most of her life in or around the Atlanta area (except for that one short stint on the West Coast). She’s best known as the voice of local internet start-up Scoutmob.com, where she spends most of her days either consuming food at local restaurants or writing about it… sometimes simultaneously. You can find her anywhere from Buckhead to West End, exploring all things local and curious. Home is now the Old Fourth Ward—next to a laptop, glass of wine, and her awkward dog, Maebe.
