For the past few days hurricane Ida has been sweeping through Louisiana drawing a media frenzy and stirring up feelings similar to those from hurricane Katrina in 2005. With this being the second time a natural disaster has forced people to evacuate the state and relocate elsewhere I am reminded of the magnitude of natural…
Southern style brunch
One thing that people of all ages love is breakfast food. In the south the one thing that can be counted on is that like all things southern chefs are going to put their own twist on it. Atlanta Breakfast Club isn’t a new breakfast restaurant so you know the food is good when there…
Hattie B’s in the city
Anyone who has heard about or been to Atlanta knows that chicken is a staple. Whether its wings, fried or smothered chicken can be found at almost any restaurant in the city along with any of the southern sides we all know and love such as collard greens, Mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes. Hattie…
A visit to Hell’s Kitchen
A couple of weeks ago I took a quick trip to Las Vegas. Loving to travel I immediately looked up all of the different places to eat close to our hotel. For me part of traveling isn’t just about exploring new places but also experiencing new food! One of the places that was at the…

Around Atlanta many restaurants and small chefs offered ready made thanksgiving sides and meals for small socially distanced gatherings. Our family instead of going over to a…
Healthy Eats with gusto!
With Atlanta being the home to so many different cultures and food it is never easy to decide what to eat. From the famous hot wings to ramen there’s so much diversity of choices. While I love to eat its also important for me to occasionally mix in a bit of healthy meals into my…
Supporting local Chef’s with Chef Lex’s Birria Taco’s
With the election dragging on and state’s like mine (Georgia) that haven’t reached a decision after three days of Election Day, it is easy to lose focus of reality. I don’t think anyone expected the current climate that we have been experiencing. Especially with Covid-19 still a part of our lives in November. But thankfully,…
Experiencing Persian Dining with Rumi’s Kitchen
