D Morgan's goes out a winner: D Morgan's, the signature restaurant in Northwest Georgia that closed suddenly last year in downtown Cartersville, at least went out on top. Derek Morgan's popular, upscale restaurant on Main Street is among the four-diamond winners listed by AAA (details: AJC). Morgan is now director of food and beverage at Cartersville Country Club. The spot on Main has since become the Cartersville home of Jefferson's.
