Cobb County Quiz: Hispanic Heritage Month and Local Restaurants

The words "Quiz Time" in large cartoon font

This is one of those quizzes I put together to draw attention to one specific article we published, “Three restaurants to try during Hispanic Heritage Month in Cobb County“ by Gabriela Henriquez Stoikow.

It’s a wonderful review of three restaurants and cafes, and also contains other information about Hispanic Heritage month.  So first read the article at the link above, and then do the quiz.
