Tantra Restaurant and Bar takes your senses on a journey along the historical trading route that stretched from Asia, through the Mediterranean, southern Europe and into Spain.

My good friend Tim Gaddis is the Cheesemonger (isn’t that just the coolest word?) at Star Provisions, the premiere gourmet grocery in Atlanta. He’s one of the many cool and interesting people I’ve met via social media, and who has introduced me to a number of purveyors of delicious products: Angie and Phin of Phickles [...]
It feels like summer is already over – Labor Day has passed and it’s not longer kosher to wear white (as if!), the temperature has mercifully dropped and given us a preview of a beautiful fall, and it’s almost as if you could hear Atlanta breathe a collective sigh of relief. Give one last nod to [...]
There’s a beautiful, funky building in Inman Park, on Moreland Avenue between Little Five Points and I-20 that has caught my eye every time I’ve driven past it since I moved here in the late ’90s. Built in 1900, the building was originally a private residence,called “The Marianna”. Since then it has been a church, [...]

My husband, Ben, is a huge fan of IPAs, so no holiday seemed more fitting for him to celebrate than the First International IPA Day. Since I had a conflicting event last night, he was kind enough to snap a few photos between sips and to let me post them here. Did you get to [...]
Last month, when I heard that my good friend Angie of Phickles Pickles had been chosen to be a part of Williams Sonoma’s Local Artisans’ Market, I was so excited for her! But I had to miss the event so I had to wait a whole month to go and see her in her phickle-y [...]
I’m a huge fan of the burger – from way before it was trendy and cool to like burgers, even when it was decidedly uncool to eat red meat. My dad used to make us juicy, fresh-from-the-grill burgers when I was a kid – stuffed with bleu cheese or cheddar, with onions mixed in to the [...]
