Small town, greasy spoon restaurants are so good according to Guy Fieri, who takes cross-country road trips to find them on his Food Network show " Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives ." From 6:30-9 p.m. tonight at Buttermilk Kitchen (4225 Roswell Road NE, Atlanta), the event, Hometown Heroes, will feature well, local heroes as well as chefs from the show. In addition to a live screening, guests will feast on food and drink. Attendees will also have a chance to win Guy Fieri-signed books, gift cards from Buttermilk Kitchen, Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, Joy Cafe, The General Muir and Wrecking Bar Brew Pub.

There's a flash sale today so tickets are now $65. To purchase, visit www.app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/GeorgiaOrganics/hometownheroespromo.html.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Georgia Organics, a nonprofit that connects families with organic food from local farmers.
