A couple of weekends ago, the Cooking Channel was in town to celebrate summer. It was hot — 95° in the shade and muggy, a normal for Atlanta this time of year. To help cool things off, they brought an ice cream truck with Jake’s ice cream for everyone and Roger Mooking.

Culinary event of the year is definitely a lofty title to attach to an event. Especially when there is so much of the year left to experience. However, unlike other fantastical claims (think Titanic) this is one ship that will not be sinking. The innov…
Things I hate about Easter:
Nasty gross candy (Peeps & Cadbury Creme Eggs)
Spending a non-holiday (hello! weekend!) outside in the heat.
Catholic flashbacks.
Things I like about Easter:
Dressing the baby up in a frilly and frivolous dress.
HAM!
So I’m late in the game, I know. But here’s what went down anyway. Last Saturday, I circled Hwy 52 for 30 minutes trekked up to Dahlonega to join my homies Eat It Atlanta, Savory Exposure, and Foodie Buddha on a food/wine conclave hosted by Montaluce Winery. In the interest of full [...]
As I am sure you are all very aware Valentines Day is fastly approaching and that means many of you are scrambling for gift ideas, dinner plans, and anything else you can get your hands on to make this Valentines a special one. I applaud your efforts, …
It is just as important to stay tuned into all things un-gentlemanly as it is to stay abreast on all the great things that there are out there to experience. This is one of those stories that is completely UN-gentlemanly and I cant believe it even exists.
Do you have Valentines day plans yet? Well don’t worry if you don’t because White Castle (kind of like Krystal’s for all you true southerners out there) has got you covered. Yes the fast food establishment serving up undersized frozen patties on rolls offers a candle lit dinner complete with flowers and table side service. I am guessing the table side service consists of, “another squeeze of your ketchup packet ma’am”? This “candle lit dinner” takes place inside of the fast food establishment so you can enjoy the fine atmosphere that White Castle has to offer. Apparently, this event books up so they require you to call ahead and make reservations…HA! I wonder if they will serve Boone’s Farm or Franzia boxed wines with dinner? That would make for a great pairing…….RIDICULOUS
I don’t think I have to go into detail on this one of why it is the most un-gentlemanly things I have heard of in a long time. You know I guess theres the saying, “to each his own” but I cant let this one slide and accept that this is an acceptable thing to be a part of. I mean, come on. I think that for one day a year you can elevate your situation a little bit and go without fast food for one night
Tonight I had the privilege of seeing Neil Gaiman speak at Agnes Scott College, courtesy of Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, Georgia. I originally had a ticket for the overflow room but last minute, a group of overflow ticket holders were able to grab seats in the balcony of the auditorium. I incidentally managed [...]

Our parents made us go to the BGE cooking demo last week. We grew up on BGEs. Our parents (who have 4 at home in varying sizes) are hard-core fans so we are forced to go to almost every BGE event. The cooking demo happens at the mother ship in Tucker every [...]
If there’s one food event you must not miss then this one is it. Every year since 1998, the makers of the Big Green Egg puts out a huge meat fest called Eggtoberfest. It is held on the 3rd weekend of October. My parents have been making us go for close to [...]
With this year’s change of venue, my main concern was parking. But I really didn’t have any problems snatching a free spot on Spring St., about half a block from the back entrance, which was really nice. I noticed a few new things this time and most were an improvement from last year’s [...]
Don’t let the forecast of rain hinder you from going to this year’s greatest foodie event. If you’ve been going (as I have), you know this is a fun event that revolves around food. Not only will you get to taste bites from 80+ restaurants, you’ll also get to see celebrity chefs [...]
