    Staplehouse pt. 2 (The Giving Kitchen)

    Last summer was our first time visiting “prelude to” Staplehouse, the underground supper club that Chef Ryan and Jen Hidinger hosted in their lovely home to gain excitement and build buzz around their brick and mortar restaurant. As we enjoyed the delicious food and wine, we couldn’t help but be [...]

    La Grotta

    I love movie popcorn. The kind that is drenched in butter, salty enough to make you thirsty for soda and leaves your hands greasy. But considering we’re getting married in a couple of months, it’s in our best interests that we stay away from this tasty temptation to avoid looking [...]

    The Lawrence

    Since we’ve moved into the city, it’s become a ritual for us to indulge in Sunday brunch. There’s nothing like enjoying a midday breakfast alongside boozy cocktails on a sunny Georgia day. So when I proclaimed that we’ve tried every brunch place in the city (Ria’s Bluebird, Homegrown, Murphy’s, the [...]

    The Optimist

    Just when I thought I had to relegate to OTP options for seafood eateries, The Optimist opened in West Midtown. After hearing that the chef also ran JCT Kitchen, I suggested that my friend and I visit this place last July. We tried nearly all of the small plates and [...]

    Fig Jam Kitchen and Bar

    Since Fig Jam opened, I became interested in trying out the restaurant. And, after winning a gift certificate at Taste of Atlanta‘s silent auction (benefiting Cooking Matters, an amazing organization), I decided it was time for a visit with Corey right before the new year. When we walked into the [...]

    Jam-A-Lam

    After hearing the buzz about Jam-A-Lam through Eater Atlanta, I knew Corey and I had to try the underground breakfast biscuit delivery service. Not only is breakfast my favorite meal of the day (as evident by the number of blog posts on brunch), but I knew we would run out [...]

    Radial Cafe

    I’m sure many of you wonder how we choose the restaurants we try. Some are by word of mouth or social media. Other choices are inspired by Urbanspoon or Yelp. And sometimes, we flip a coin. I’m glad that it landed on the side so we could have brunch at [...]

    Cafe Sunflower

    First Memories My first memory of Cafe Sunflower in Buckhead came from high school when a friend mentioned that this vegetarian/vegan restaurant existed. Although I was neither vegetarian nor vegan, I was more curious to see how the food would taste without eggs or real meat, things I feel are [...]

    Watershed on Peachtree

    Lunch at Watershed on Peachtree Eating at Watershed on Peachtree (the newest location for this restaurant) has been on the “food” bucket list for a long time. I’ve heard about this place for years, and when it reopened only blocks away from work, I seized the opportunity to try it [...]

    Staplehouse- An Underground Supper Club

    For more than a year, I’ve wanted to try Staplehouse, an underground supper club in Atlanta. Staplehouse, the creation of Ryan and Jen Hidinger, is an intimate yet casual dining experience held in their home. Ryan has several years of experience working in kitchens of highly-rated restaurants in Indianapolis and [...]
