Friday is National Donut Day which is one of the few food “holidays” I honor. Sadly, our Dunwoody DaVinci’s Donuts closed but you can find them at one of their nearby locations. DaVinci’s offers smaller, cake-style donuts in a variety of flavors. If for some reason, you can’t find a flavor that strikes your fancy, there is always the option to create your own.… Read More »
When the last school bell rings and my children exit the front doors of DES and into summer, they immediately require sustenance every 15 to 45 minutes. I typically start the summer with the high hopes of fruit kabobs and worksheet bridge books and by July, it’s anything covered in neon orange cheese powder, Popsicles that come in a mesh bag of a 1000 and unlimited WIFI.… Read More »
Well, we all made it to summer and what’s that saying……”The pool/beach will give it whatever body I give it?” That’s my mentality considering most moms should get a patch for just surviving May. I do tend to eat less and lighter, but still maintain this squishy physique with plenty of empty wine calories.… Read More »
If you were to challenge the Townsends to an ice cream eating contest, you
would lose because we have an unfounded competitiveness and we eat A LOT of
ice cream. There is no doubt that we love Brusters; you’ve probably seen us
there; we see everyone there, but here are some local places that also have
ice cream that we love.… Read More »
I’ll cut right to the meat of it, Del Frisco’s was one of the best meals I’ve had recently, like lick the plate good. The restaurant is located in the new State Farm building on the Perimeter Mall side of Dunwoody, which I typically avoid during the week because of the traffic but for an 11:30 lunch date the commute was a breeze.… Read More »
It has been a minute since I had some delicious shawarma and Shawarma Non-Stop’s made me want to do a little yummy dance. The owners of Mediterranean restaurant, Fresh 4 U, opened middle eastern or Lebanese spot, Shawarma Non-Stop, right next door. It’s a casual, quick-service concept with dine-in space or carry out and also has 3rd party delivery.… Read More »
Back in February, the AJC published an article about three new restaurant concepts coming to the newly re-modeled Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter @ Ravinia Hotel. At the time, I had no idea I would receive the opportunity to take Peggy and Lauren for a complimentary lunch to check out the beautiful new Parkwoods Restaurant. … Read More »
Ladies who lunch rejoice and clutch those pearls because I have found the best little tea house! Tucked on a side street in downtown Norcross, Ivy Tea House has just opened for lunch and afternoon tea Wednesday thru Friday and for high tea on Saturdays. Mouth watering savory offerings of sandwiches, salads and quiche are prepared by Maureen Adams of Bleu House while delicately delicious pastry are created by Nicole Outler of Gingerspice Bakery.… Read More »
Gu’s dumplings keep popping up in my Instagram feed, but the drive to Krog market is not in my daily schedule. BUT THEN, I see that there is a Gu’s Kitchen open on Buford Highway in Chamblee, so I drag Amanda in the rain to get some dumplings. First things first, the dumplings are delicious and totally lived up to the hype.… Read More »

It’s no secret that I love Mexican food…authentic Mexican food, street tacos, tex-mex from Buford Highway or the gas station, if you have tacos, I’m in. Casi Cielo is definitely on the higher end of the spectrum, located in a beautifully designed space in the heart of Sandy Springs, on Roswell road in between Hammond and Hilderbrand.… Read More »
Note from Audra: I don’t know about you but I love when Lauren surprises me with maps like these. Her artistic talent is AMAZING. I love the BuHi Farmer’s Market (see my 2013 article here) and so did Foodie Patty. If only we had Lauren’s map the first time we went together!
The stars aligned and Peggy, Audra and I were all free for lunch on the same day and time, so we decided to try the newly opened, Zinburger on Ashford Dunwoody. I’ve been trying to work out and eat better, so it is moments like this that I have been preparing…and cue Kelly Clarkson.… Read More »
