Get Into the Grind
No Dunkin' Needed
Just a Couple of Eggs at the Donut Hole |
For the first time in close to a year, I took a beach vacation. Fortunately, the weather was perfect and my palate was ready and willing to taste everything the good 'ole Florida panhandle could throw at me. Thankfully, I snagged this pic from my first (and only) trip to the tried and true, Donut Hole Bakery Cafe.

Not a Last Resort
Stawberry and Chocolate Cream Pancake Appetizer |
As I mentioned in my Food Findings post "Speaking Easy", my quick trip to Athens, Ga this weekend proved to be as much a reason to eat at my favorite spots than anything else.
Behold, my tying pick for top Athens brunch find, the always hipster, always amazing, and always a top choice: Last Resort Grill.
Speaking Easy
This past weekend, I managed to pull myself away from the Atlanta food scene and found myself eating, drinking, and dancing with friends in Athens, GA!
I only stayed one night, which meant I had to consolidate for meals and places that I haven't visited in a long time. One of my most favorite places to go when in Athens is the quirky but awesome Speakeasy tapas bar.

Elevate Your Winesday
Personally, I find my Winesday posts to be one of, it not my most favorite topic to write about for this blog. No, I don't only think about wine (Kathie Lee and Hoda!), It's simply fun sharing my Winesday Food and Booze Finding because mid week is a great day to experience new eat and drink spots. Let's "fly" through the introduction nonsense and get to the good stuff.
Elevation ChopHouse and SkyBar is located in Kennesaw, Ga, and is a wonderful restaurant and bar that sits on the McCullom airport overlooking the runway! I had the pleasure of my first visit there last week, and let me tell you, I will be back before you can say "take off!".

Patio Perfect
One of the Best Patios in Virginia Highlands - Osteria 832 |
In no specific order I managed to spend time with some of my closest friends, eat great, light Italian food, while sitting outside no less! Osteria 832, located in the heart of the Virginia Highlands neighborhood, is a regular spot for locals, out of towners, and brunch enthusiasts.

Social Status
Social Vinings : More Like Socialize Vinings |
Tired of that groundhogs day feel that comes around every Monday? I have the perfect solution for you. Take a quick peek for food and drink at Social Vinings.
Owned and run by the respected culinary dominatrix Paul (of the former Pano's and Paul's) and his son Patrick, Social Vinings is another feat for Paul and his Great Food Group Inc., but not for all the reasons you think!

The Final Tab for Marietta Week: Barfest
When word gets out of a place in town that serves great cocktails and draft beer for cheap prices - inevitably that same place will be flooded with patrons before you can say, "what's on tap?" A truly rare place to find is one that maintains the status quo of a great bar, doesn't burn a hole in my wallet, and feels as if no one has really "discovered" it yet.
Well my friends, there are actually some places like this around. Fortunately, I have picked my top three Marietta bars for the conclusion of this weeks Food Findings Extravaganza.
Rounding Out Marietta Week: Food First
Olala, j'adore le Cafe Crepe |
This past weekend opened my eyes to all the food findings Marietta, Georgia has to offer. As a native, I already knew many of the best places in town, but felt the need to revisit them with a fervor only food nerds would appreciate.
While there are so many to choose from, I decided to narrow your food hunting search down. Here is my top Three Food Finding List for the stand outs of my Marietta excursion 2011:

A Niks to Remember
Nik's Place, Marietta Ga. |
This American-Greek inspired restaurant has been a mainstay for Mariettan's for years now, and it's not just the food that keeps this place bumpin'. Located off Whitlock Avenue in the heart of Marietta, and about a mile from the Square, Nik's is known for gyros, beer, music, unexplained dancing, and most importantly... hummus!

Bring On the Brew
Muss and Turners Outside View - Perfect for Week Night Brew |
As I mentioned in my "What's All the Muss About?" post, this Symrna food staple offers more than just good food and service, they take pride in liquid education as well. And what could beat that you say? The price of course!

Welcome Back Winesday
I will start this post by introducing my favorite day of the week; "Winesday", Wednesday, or as many like to call it "Hump Day". Personally, Wednesdays remind me that the week is coming to a close, yet there is still time to squeeze in whatever you need to do before COB Friday.
Most importantly, Wednesday presents the perfect day to kick back, crack open a box of wine, and enjoy mid-week. I felt it necessary to give a special shout out to an often over-looked, often looked-down upon form of wine, the kind that comes out of a box.
Big Chicken Extravaganza!
Marietta's Famous Landmark - The Big Chicken |
Exciting news for Food Findings followers! I have decided that in order to accurately report food, brew, and foodie news, I must work my way around the metro Atlanta area in sections.
This weekend, I will start with All Things Food in the beautiful city of Marietta! Why start there you ask? For one, I was born and raised in Marietta, many of my family members still live there, and finally, because there are wonderful known and unknown places in this town that people should experience.
