Southern Cooking in Atlanta

A buttermilk biscuit isn’t a buttermilk biscuit without gravy!  The same rules apply to real southern cooking; you have to experience it in the South.  Whether you’re a true Southern Belle’ or just want to eat good food, you’ll find yourself wondering how you’ve gone through life without dining at the best Southern restaurants in Atlanta.  I have included a short list of some of the most mouth-watering, deep fried recipes from the area below.  Happy eating!

Take a Day Trip: Jack Daniel’s Distillery

Few brands of liquor have earned such fame as Jack Daniel’s whiskey. Maybe it’s due to incredible marketing efforts. Maybe it’s because the name alone conjures images of old-timey men in the South sitting in cozy chairs and drinking their nightly glass.

Tennessee Performing Arts Center

One of my favorite parts of living in Music City is its proximity to exceptional performance spaces and as a result, access to incredible performers.

Or dessert. Or instead of pretty much any of your more sensible meals.

Dog-friendly Spots in Atlanta

The pleasure of having your dog for company is special. We humans appreciate, and enjoy the times when we can call on our pet for a warm amity. Not many of us can identify with having this sort of companionship, but a dog for a pet is the best playmate and stress reliever anyone could ever have. Many of us can identify with the confined feeling of staying cooped up in the same space for too long. Well, your dog can feel along these lines too. With the stress of keeping squirrels off the yard, and finding an immaculate pee spot, sometimes your dog wants a new outdoor scene with fresh grass, and some new butts to sniff. For those who enjoy long walks with their furry friend, casual shopping sprees, and frisbee throwing matches in a dog-friendly environment, here are some popular sites to take your dog for nonstop “man and best friend” fun.
