In the state of Georgia, Chick-Fil-A is a prized institution. On Sundays, you never fail to find a hopeful and forgetful car pull through the parking lot, only to remember the devastating fact that they are closed on Sundays. The Roswell Chick-Fil-A remains a busy spot, with the delicious cooked-in-peanut-oil deliciousness of chicken nuggets, sandwiches,... [Read more...]

Now I love living in Atlanta, but as a native New Yorker there is one thing about metro Atlanta that I would have to change: add more pizza spots!  Pizza, to me, is the perfect food.  What other dish can give you all four basic food groups in one bite (assuming your eating your pizza with the traditional pepperoni or sausage topping). Fortunately for you... [Read more...]

There is a pizzeria out in Kennesaw, GA (about 30 minutes from here at Rosemont Apartments) that has a pizza so humungously big, if you and a friend can finish it within an hour, they will give you $250.  It's called the Big Carnivore Pizza and it will run you $50 for the 30-inch, 11 pound monster.  Toppings, you ask?  Oh yeah.  Try Pepperoni, Ground Beef,... [Read more...]

What are your plans for Thanksgiving tomorrow?  Are you staying here in Atlanta or traveling to see family or friends?  If you're hosting dinner here at your Rosemont Apartments apartment for the holiday, chances are that you're busy with last minute preparations and organizing your dinner plan.  And as we all know, planning a large dinner takes thoughtful... [Read more...]

The Taste of Atlanta is just over three weeks away (October 23-24)!  Foodies all over the southeast (the country, for that matter) are gearing up for what is being billed as "the best festival since sliced bread!"  Even media mega-icon Oprah is feeling the buzz, as Oprah Magazine has named the Taste of Atlanta one of the top food festivals in the country! ... [Read more...]

Are you familiar with the term "gastropub?"  With the nature of my work, I've been reading a lot of restaurant reviews and "where to eat" articles in a nice variety of different cities.  More and more frequently, the word "gastropub" keeps popping up.  I know "gastro" is the greek root for the word "stomach" and "pub", that's short for "public house"...a... [Read more...]

The weather in Atlanta is supposed to cool down to the 80's this weekend.  For me, that's prime weather to do some grilling.  Last time I grilled, I made these Honey Chicken Kabobs and they were delicious.  Give them a try! Ingredients 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 8 skinless, boneless... [Read more...]

There is nothing better in the morning for breakfast a fresh, lightly toasted New York-style bagel with a generous smear of cream cheese and lox.  My personal preference is the "everything" bagel.  It has sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt and onion bits baked on top.  Anyway, before I start getting hungry, let me get back to the purpose of this blog post. ... [Read more...]

National Fried Chicken Day is today, July 6.  You'd be amazed at the stuff you learn when surfing the web.  At least I know what thing...what I'll be eating for dinner tonight.  I mean, I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't celebrate the holiday this week and partake in the devouring of the golden brown goodness. I remember the best fried chicken I ever... [Read more...]

For those of us who work in offices or at desks all day long, let's face it, one of the toughest things to do is to not "over-snack."  Seriously, I can't tell you how hard it is for me not to hit up the vending machines in our break room every hour.  Those 75 cent candy bars, chips and cookies can not only start to eat a hole in your pocket, but also your diet. ... [Read more...]
