After a loooooooong wait, Hattie B’s finally opened in Atlanta earlier this year. I had my first experience with Nashville Hot Chicken a few years ago in Nashville and when I heard Hattie B’s was planning to expand to the A, I stalked the updates of the project. Given my excitement and having been a couple of times already, I had to feature them on my New Bites series! Continue reading
Breakers is neither a new nor new-to-us restaurant but it’s been one I’ve been wanting to feature for awhile. So here goes! Continue reading
I love quiche. Sean loves quiche. Quiches are a frequent breakfast, lunch or even dinner in our house. I always make up my perfect pie crust and find that quiches are a great way to use up vegetables that need eaten or, in this case, to creatively use a yummy meat like chorizo. This is a quick and easy recipe for a family meal or to share with friends at brunch, etc. Continue reading
Last November, we traveled to Japan for 10 days and had an incredible experience with the culture, scenery, cities and FOOD. We fell completely in love with Japanese food – its diversity is astounding and we continue to find ourselves seeking out restaurants across Atlanta to satisfy our cravings for everything from sushi to soba.
When we heard about a new Japanese cafe called Momonoki in Midtown, we knew we had to try it. The green tea soft serve ice cream was an immediate draw – we had some at a temple in Kyoto that I still dream about. I’ve been to Momonoki Cafe twice since it opened this past summer. Here’s what I recommend, along with some tips. Continue reading
Sean and I have been big fans of the midtown seafood restaurant Lure since it opened a few years back. Overall, we love Fifith Group Restaurants and feel we always have a consistently great, personalized service experience with interesting menus that offer seasonal items as well as ongoing staples. When I saw an ad for a Coastal Spain, community-style dinner at Lure, I knew it as for us. And at $45 per person, it was a tremendous value for what we got. Read on for the highlights!

Sean found out about this new, upscale dining option in Chamblee called The Alden, with a chef who had traveled the world cooking – even doing a stint at Noma for a couple of months. While we love Buford Highway and the incredible multicultural cuisine we have easy access to in this part of town, “fancier” options are fairly limited.
The restaurant offers brunch, and has a dinner too with a 7-course tasting and wine pairings (which we would like to go back for). Sean and I are not big on going out for breakfast or brunch – read anything Anthony Bourdain ever said on the brunch topic and you’ll have our many reasons, too. BUT The Alden takes reservations for brunch so we decided that would be good for us since the “waiting for an hour for eggs” brunch scene in Atlanta is really too ridiculous. As far as brunch goes, this place has great food. Continue reading
How lucky am I to have had TWO baby showers? The one my mom and mother-in-law threw in Ohio for our family up there was amazing – read about it here. Then my wonderful and dear friends Cherish and Sam threw me one in Atlanta for my friends here. It was so beautiful and a ton of fun. Baby Harrison is already pretty spoiled! 😉 Continue reading
In June, during our visit to Savannah, we ate at Husk’s new location there. The Charleston original is extremely well-known and we were very excited to try out the Savannah location. Each location uses ingredients as local as possible throughout the menu. We had a wonderful experience and so am including Husk Savannah in my New Bites series. Continue reading
