I had the immense pleasure of going to see Odysséo: A New Adventure By Cavalia last week, which is showing in Midtown Atlanta through January 29, 2012.

Last year, I met someone who I can confidently say is one of my favorite people in Atlanta, Adisa Nickerson; he introduced me to one of our city’s most incredible organizations, the Georgia Boy Choir, for which he serves as Executive Director.

It’s a good thing…because I’m judging the second annual Battle of the Burgers this Saturday, October 1, 2011. Battle of the Burgers brings together 25 local restaurants, as they compete for the [...]
When we received an invitation to dine at Truffles Grill in Buckhead not long ago, I had to stop and think about where it was. Though I had driven past Truffles Grill (located on Lenox Road across from Lenox Square Mall) a number of times, I had never been there – it’s not flashy or [...]
