I recently got to cross another item off my 2011 Atlanta Bucket List - taking the Inside CNN Studio Tour. I got ride on the world’s longest and tallest free-standing escalator; I got to stand in the studio where Robin Meade films Morning Express; I got to see where CNN and Headline News teams work to [...]
I love hamburgers. From plain old regular burgers to fancy-schmancy gourmet burgers, traditional beef burgers to exotic venison, and everything in between. 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 [...]
Start your fall festivities early and party down for a good cause this Saturday, October 1, 2011 at DREAM Dachshund Rescue’s HowlOWeenie! It’s a full day of outdoor fall fun, full of dachshund contests, bluegrass music, artist/vendor market, and picnicking. It’s not just for dachshund’s and their humans, though!

Give one last nod to [...]

Maybe you’re planning on seeing a concert or a Gwinnett Gladiators hockey game at Gwinnett Arena and won’t want to drive home afterward. Or maybe you just want to check out their delightful renovation [...]
Smashburger is here and trying to take over Atlanta. Well, at least it seemed that way last night at the Smashburger VIP night at the newest Atlanta-area location in Johns Creek, Georgia. The first Atlanta-area Smashburger opened in Buckhead last month, and now they’re treating the north-side suburbs to a taste of their special [...]
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 [...]
