Highland Bakery Opens in Midtown!

07/20/2010 in Inman Park, Midtown, PSAs, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | No comments

Big news, y’all:  On our way out of town this weekend, Slick + I were driving down 14th Street and almost got into a wreck when we spotted the new Highland Bakery location at 14th Street + Crescent! 
(Thanks for reminding me, JenBen!)  Never been to Highland Bakery before?  You may know the shop’s work from such mouthwatering goodness as:

red velvet cupcakes

peanut butter french toast

turkey sausage + egg + cheese on a croissant

peanut butter + chocolate cupcakes

mini cinnamon rolls

Highland Bakery’s Old Fourth Ward location on Highland Ave. is consistently delicious – and always packed.  So predictably packed that I’ve started completely avoiding it on Saturday and Sunday mornings for brunch…  However, my carb-craving prayers have been answered with Highland Bakery’s new Midtown location, which officially opened last week.  Food blogs were listing the opening date as “the last quarter of the year,” but I called the OFW location this morning to confirm that I did, in fact, see people eating in there on Friday.  And, I did.

Visit Highland Bakery – Midtown in the 1180 Peachtree Building around the corner from TAP, where TROIS used to reside.  And, please, do yourself a favor and go ahead and order that cupcake.  It’s worth it.  :)

P.S. All you Midtown suits:  H. Bakery is great for a quick workday lunch, too!

Nail in the Coffin.

06/29/2010 in Westside, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 3 comments

I am officially over burgers. 

I’ve eaten a pretty impressive amount of red meat since this whole burger boutique trend started when Flip Burger opened, and frankly I’m done. 

I know where to find my three favorite burgers in town: Bocado, Holeman + Finch and Farmburger.  I’ve tried the best, and I really don’t need to try anything else.  Burgers are so over.  SHOW ME SOMETHING NEW FOR THE LOVE OF LADY GAGA!!

How did the nail finally get hammered into the velvet-lined coffin of my burger boutique experiences?  Simply, I visited Yeah! Burger, Shaun Doty’s newest venture, on Friday.

@ yeah! burger...

My friends, Nick + Todd, were in town from Kentucky, and we met for lunch on Friday afternoon with a colleague friend of ours from work.  I insisted on trying Yeah! Burger, and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer.  So, we all drove to Howell Mill, parked in the White Provisions parking deck and stood in an insanely long line (approx. 30 minutes) to order what turned out to be pretty mediocre food. 

To me, the line was long not because there were a ton of people there hoping to try out the new restaurant (which there actually were), but rather because they only had ONE person taking everyone’s orders at the register.  Should have thought that one through, Mr. Doty.  It’s a workday, we are in suits and it’s 95 degrees outside!!  Doesn’t make for happy customers, does it?  Moving on…

The menu was simple and straightforward, which I appreciate, encouraging you to customize your burg w/ your preference of patty, bun, toppings and sauce.  Yeah! has a number of organic, gluten-free and farm fresh items on their menu: gluten-free white buns + french fries, organic chopped/ sliced or grilled Vidalia onions, cage-free fried eggs, nitrate-free bacon, organic Muir Glen ketchup, etc. 

Everyone I was with ordered simple beef burgers and fries.  Jen’s is pictured above.  I ordered the bison burger w/ pimento cheese, whole wheat bun, lettuce, dill pickles and honey mustard – which is pictured below.

Todd got the fried pickles, and although he didn’t finish them, he said that they were quite good – which led us into a discussion about how anything fried tastes “quite good.”  We were hard-pressed to brainstorm what would not taste good fried.

The consensus was soap.

So listen, I ate everything, but I wasn’t impressed.  The burger was blah – the pimento cheese, especially, did not taste housemade.  It was runny.  The fries, usually the item to draw me in, were kind of a let down, too.  I appreciate the farm-friendliness of the restaurant, but it seemed a little contrived when I found myself flipping through the brochure of the farm that supplies the restaurant, which was displayed for our reading pleasure while we were waiting in the horrendously long line to order.

That being said, here are five reasons why you might want to try Yeah! Burger:

1 – You are gluten-intolerant.  They have a lot of gluten-free options for you here - more so than I’ve seen at other restaurants in Atlanta.

2 – You want a burger on a Sunday afternoon, but don’t want to drive to Decatur to hit up Farmburger.  Holeman + Finch burgers aren’t available on Sundays after 3:00 p.m., and Bocado isn’t open.  If Decatur is too far for you to travel for burger bliss, Yeah! Burger is conveniently located on Howell Mill + 14th Street.

3 – You have two hours to eat lunch during the week OR just enjoy waiting in really, really long lines…  (No, clearly I am not over it.)

4 – You want to try one of their Concretes: Vanilla soft-serve ice cream blended at high speed with your favorite mix-ins – hot fudge, cookies + cream, peanut butter cups, chopped peanuts, peanut brittle, Heath candy bar, chocolate almond bark or chocolate espresso beans.  Sounds like a fancy McFlurry - yummmmmmm!  FYI: They start at $6.00.

5 – Howell Mill is happening.  WESTSIDE!

I really don’t want to detract readers from this restaurant merely because I’m so over the whole burger thing, but I just had to say that the burgs @ Yeah! were far from the best I’ve had in Atlanta – and I will never willingly stand in that long line again.

Bye, bye burgers – it’s time to go…

EVOS-lutionary Eating

06/23/2010 in Deals + Steals, Midtown, Suburbs, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 3 comments

Dana is about to get hitched in a little over a week, and she’s been incredibly busy running around to take care of last minute wedding-related errands.  We usually see each other pretty frequently for lunch, but with work picking up for me and her wedding errands, we decided that if we were going to meet, it was going to have to be for a super fast lunch during the week.  She was working downtown and I am in midtown, so we decided to meet at EVOS at the bottom of the Viewpoint building since neither of us had tried it yet and we were both itching to go.

the bride-to-be + me

I’ve blogged about it before, but as a reminder:  EVOS is an alternative fast food franchise (also in CA, FL and NC) specializing in healthy and environmentally sound eats, featuring soy, veggie, turkey and salmon burgers, fruit smoothies and their signature Airfries.  They Airbake (of course) their Airfries instead of deep-frying, which saves us 50-70% of the fat.  Also, they cater.  Awesome.  The company website describes the restaurant chain as “inspired, energetic, real, philanthropic, culturally plugged in, adventurous, respectful, fresh and forward thinking.”  Even before I actually went, I wanted to give this restaurant a hug.

Dana and I both ordered the Steakburger + Airfries. The Steakburger was a bit on the dry side, but was still good enough to finish - and we certainly felt better eating it than we would have any other fast food hamburger.  The Airfries were delicious.  They did not taste lowfat at all, even though the restaurant insists that they are.  I’m still not 100% convinced, though…

EVOS steakburger + airfries

When I got up to refill my fountain soda + get some more ketchup for our Airfries, I saw a flier with EVOS’s daily specials listed on it, AND I’d like to share that w/ y’all:

(Refresh) Mondays:  Receive a FREE Regular Shake or Drink with the purchase of any Hand-Tossed Salad.

(Truly Awesome) Tuesdays:  Receive a FREE Regular order of Airfries & Drink with the purchase of an EVOS Original Steakburger.

(Wrap-it-up) Wednesdays:  Receive a FREE Regular Shake with the purchase of any Wrap.

(Thankful) Thursdays:  Receive a FREE Organic Cookie with the purchase of a Warm Veggie Chili Value Meal.

Isn’t alliteration fun, kids?!

(Hot Dog It’s) Fridays:  Receive a FREE 2nd Hot Dog with the purchase of an Adult Hot Dog Value Meal.

(Shake-it-up) Saturdays:  Receive a FREE Shake with the purchase of a Shake of equal or lesser value.

(Family Fun) Sundays:  Receive a FREE Kids Meal w/ drink with the purchase of any Adult Meal.

These are pretty good deals, and EVOS is worth a try – especially if you take advantage of one of the freebies listed above.  I don’t think that this chain is for everyone, but I will probably eat there again when I want to splurge on a fast food, basic hamburger + fries, but I don’t want to destroy my diet for the week or feel guilty about it. 

I’m definitely interested to know what y’all think.

You Little Devil…

06/15/2010 in Westside, What we're Cooking, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 6 comments

Believe it or not, I had my first deviled egg yesterday.

(I know…I know…where was I raised?  The country?  A barn?)  I guess maybe if that was the case, I would have already had my fill of deviled eggs…  I tried them for the first time during lunch yesterday with colleagues at Bocado.  And, I thought that they were soooooooo delicious!  (Seriously, why have I not tried these until now??)

deviled eggs @ bocado

The DEs at Bocado had very fluffy + creamy + flavorful yokes.  When I called Slick to tell him that I had just tried my very first one and loved it, he told me that he personally prefers them when they aren’t so fluffy + creamy.  Whatever.  These babies tasted loaded up with mayo (which I loved!) - and I wanted MORE!  So much so, in fact, that I looked up DE recipes all night.

This one was my favorite: http://snipurl.com/xg0z1

I also really liked these two…

Sun-Dried Tomato + Chive Deviled Eggs: http://snipurl.com/xg10b

Bacon Horseradish Deviled Eggs: http://snipurl.com/xg11b

Yummmmmmm!!  :)

inside bocado

Also worth mentioning: On the Blissful Glutton’s advice, I tried the Bocado hamburger + french fries for my lunch entree.  They were both were absolutely amazing!!  The hamburger was very similar to H+F’s mouthwatering 10:00 p.m. burger w/ its mixture of meats + double patties…but the fries!  OH, THE FRIES!  They were particularly incredible!  Not too greasy + tasted like soft baby potatoes.  (It was v. hard for me to share a bowl of them with my colleagues.)  Extremely hard. 

bocado burg

Thanks, BG for the excellent recommendation! 

I will definitely be back at Bocado soon for more deviled eggs, burgs – and to test out their creative tapas list!

Steps to achieve a PERFECT Atlanta Saturday:

04/18/2010 in Festivals, PSAs by Lauren | No comments

1.    Kickboxing at Atlanta Kick

(there’s just nothing like kicking a bag in the morning)

2.    Lunch at Zoe’s Kitchen

(with Amy and La one last time before ZOEY!)

back in the day :)

3.    QUICK shopping trip at Festivity

(I may or may not have walked out in a brand new dress and my old dress in a shopping bag)

4.    Dogwood Festival

(with the Shaps! It was crowded, but fun to see so many people out there enjoying the sunshine!)

5.    Sweetwater 420 Festival

(Seen at 420: fab music, fun friends, lots of artsy-fartsy wares (including a new collar for Olive by Hollywoof), an engagement, and an ACTUAL dance-off!)

6.    Treehouse

(So Olive could show off her new gear and HELLO, Cowboy Cobb!)

7.    Movie on the couch

(Where are the Wild Things? On my TV, yo.)

Fin.

P.S. Special thanks to the INCREDIBLE weather we enjoyed today.
P.P.S. You still have another day to check out the aforementioned Fests.  I recommend both, however, if I had to choose just one, I’d go with 420 Fest. Personal preference.
P.P.P.S. I love you, Atlanta.

Perfect Patio Weather

04/07/2010 in Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 6 comments

The new neighborhood tavern, HOBNOB, (owned by the guys who own Gilbert’s) recently opened on the corner of Piedmont and Monroe, and it seems to be doing a pretty steady business.  I live right around the bend from HOBNOB and I spend a lot of time at Ansley Mall – so I pass by this intersection quite a bit.  I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical about the new restaurant, a hater if you will, and kinda vocal about how I thought it would “never last.”  However, any concerns I had (particularly about parking or a generic menu) were quietly put to rest yesterday… 

Yesterday was another absolutely gorgeous day in Atlanta.  In need of some sunshine, Christine and I decided to meet for lunch at a nearby restaurant w/ a patio.  If the sun in out – so are Christine and I. 

well hello, sunshine!

We decided to give HOBNOB a shot.  We had no problem parking, even though I’d anticipated otherwise, because they have valet service even during lunch.  Since it was a bit warm for us in our biz cas. work attire, we sat on the covered patio and enjoyed a nice breeze from the street. 

As I perused the menu, I noticed that it seemed a bit burger-heavy, but that they all sounded really good.  HOBNOB lists beer recommendations under most of the menu items, which I think is a nice touch.  I saw someone’s order of the Braised Short Rib Tacos come out of the kitchen, and they looked pretty darn delicious.  The folks at the table next to us were chowing down on the Soft Pretzels w/ warm cheese + beer dip.  I honestly had to control my urge to steal one from their table when they weren’t looking…  They smelled great!

I ordered the HOBNOB Slow Roasted Pork Sandwich (w/ toasted bun + slaw + homemade beer BBQ sauce):

Christine had the Lamb Burger (w/ tzatziki + feta cheese):

We both thought our food was sufficiently yummy + plentiful – and we thought the service was definitely above average.  Most of all, it was a perfect patio!  I’d even venture as far to say that it is one of my favorite patios in Atlanta. 

If you are looking to mix up your fancy bar food standbys, or just want a new patio to frequent for a little weekend day drinking – check out HOBNOB.  I’ll see you there.  I’m a hater no longer…

More Pizza Snobbery…

03/22/2010 in Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 2 comments

Friday was one of the most gorgeous days of the year so far, so how better to celebrate it than with pizza for lunch?!  So, Roshal, Slick + I met up @ Piola, a pizza joint with restaurants all over the world that just opened in the 1010 Midtown building around the corner from my office.

hola, piola!

As soon as we walked in, we were accosted by servers with heavy Italian accents trying to get us seated and collect our drink orders.  I definitely appreciated the restaurant’s initial authentic vibe.  The menu was really extensive (see Rosh below) and there were a number of items on it that sounded tasty – however my attention was immediately averted to the pizza section…

rosh w/ massive menu

We all ordered lunch specials, which seemed plentiful and well-priced (salad + entire pizza for about $3 less than a pizza, itself, would normally run you).  Probably due to the novelty of the restaurant, which just opened a few weeks ago, and folks wanting to get out of the office for lunch on a beautiful day, the restaurant had a substantial lunch rush and was absolutely packed.  However, we didn’t wait long to get our salads, which were fairly simple – but did the trick, and soon it was…

wall art @ piola

The pizzas were fine.  They weren’t incredible, but they also weren’t terrible…  Mine, the Hawaiian, tasted like an improved version of Little Azio’s pizza.  Slick enjoyed his, which was covered with arugula +  various cheeses. 

pizza @ piola (mine)

pizza @ piola (slick's)

pizza @ piola (slick's)

I think I just would have liked more toppings on mine or something…  That being said, we both finished our pizzas right then and there.  They were thin crust, and frankly, we didn’t feel like we were entering into a food coma or needed to take a nap when we got up to leave.  So I’ll say this, if you had to choose between eating @ Antico, Shorty’s or Piola – you should do it in that order.  However, if you are looking for a cute spot to grab a well-priced, hearty pizza lunch and don’t want it to feel at all like a fast food joint – definitely try Piola.  It’s convenient, the service was great, the food isn’t bad and the adorable decor is energizing.  I’m sure I’ll be back.

Oooooh, also, I picked up a flier on my way out of the restaurant about their Lucky Gnocchi special – information is below…

i heart gnocchi

Lucky Gnocchi Every 29th of the Month @ Piola
There are many stories about the lucky gnocchi tradition.  The most famous one tells the story of San Pantaleon, a missionary, arriving in a small village in Italy on the 29th of an unknown month.  He knocked at the door of a very poor house.  An elderly peasant couple let him in and offered him the only thing they had on the table: Gnocchi.  Soon after, the missionary left and the peasants found some gold coins under their gnocchi plates.  In the meantime, San Pantaleon assembled all the villagers and directed them to gather together each 29th of the month in order to have luck and prosperity in their lives.  The lucky gnocchi legend gained recognition all over the world and a lot of restaurants have “Lucky Gnocchi Day” every 29th of the month. 

Piola has adapted this beautiful legend and believes EVERYBODY is lucky: Enjoy all you can eat homemade gnocchi @ Piola every 29th of the month!  :)

More Than a Little Obsessed…

02/03/2010 in Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 5 comments

In fact, I can’t stop thinking about it.  BAKESHOP just opened on 8th + Peachtree, and it is ah-may-zinggggg! 

BAKESHOP

BAKESHOP

FINALLY!  I have been waiting for a lunch spot like this nearby my office for years!  

Here’s some of the hype from BAKESHOP’s website:

“BAKESHOP, a “true boulangerie and patisserie”, provides bustling Midtown with a fresh take on a diverse, yet simplistic, array of breads, croissants, cakes, quiches, sandwiches, salads and brewed coffees courtesy of acclaimed Executive Chef and BAKESHOP owner, Jonathan St. Hilaire.  A true working bakery housed in an “industrial farmhouse” space, BAKESHOP offers a refreshing change from the commercialized processed goods stacked on grocery store shelves.  To insure optimum freshness, the concept operates in true European style—baking batches throughout the day for both wholesale and retail offerings.  With fresh smells, seasonal affordable offerings and sit-in and to-go options, this is a true neighborhood stomping ground.”

food_grazing2-1_35-265x400

I tried BAKESHOP on Friday, and I’ve already scheduled two more lunch dates there for this week and recommended it to almost anyone who will listen.  I ordered the prosciutto sandwich and finished it off with a tasty s’mores pie and butterscotch custard in a jar.  (Don’t judge.  It was a Friday and we shared…)  A colleague ordered a very large, delicious-looking salad, and I picked out the majority of her croutons.  (I’m all class, obviously.)  They were totally worth it!  We all agreed that the caprese sandwich special looked divine, too.  I can’t wait to go back this week to try some more of their menu!

I love everything about BAKESHOP: the intimate European atmosphere, the rustic interior design, the cookie jars on the counter + pastry selection in the glass cases, the aroma of the freshly baked bread, the quiet simplicity of the store, the wooden communal tables…  Well done, Concentrics Group.  Well done. 

Visit BAKESHOP 7 days a week – 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
Don’t forget about breakfast!  :)

All Dressed Up.

01/27/2010 in Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | No comments

Dressed is one of my favorite local lunch spots.  Their salads are perfection – both healthy and plentiful.  Dressed is located nearby my office in Midtown, so in the event of rain, they are just a quick delivery away.  Love that they deliver!  And, best of all, you can create your own unique salad – which is perfect for someone like me who is happy with arugula, falafel, mandarin oranges, sun-dried tomatoes, avocado and raisins in the same delicious bite!  (Don’t judge…)

Salad @ Dressed

Salad @ Dressed

The restaurant is modern – a lot of green and white lucite – and feels invigorating.  The staff is always noticeably friendly, which I appreciate.  Dressed has a number of chef designed salads to choose from on the menu – or if you are crafting your own salad, you order assembly-line-style and are encouraged to add to your creation with each side step.  Your salad is then mixed together (Marble-Slab-style) and presented to you at the register with a few accompanying pita triangles.  They also have a nice drink selection to choose from - I am a sucker for diet cream soda.  :)

Inside Dressed

Inside Dressed

Dressed’s salads aren’t the cheapest in town, but they are absolutely enormous and can easily feed you for two – maybe three – meals, so it all works out.  I am a big eater, but when I go to Dressed for lunch, I always walk away with much more than enough for dinner.  Also, any salad can be created into a salad wrap.  (Honestly, their wraps aren’t my favorite, but I definitely get that not everyone is always in the mood for just a salad.)

Next time you are looking for a healthy lunch alternative, consider dressing up a salad @ Dressed!  Okay, that was a stretch, but you catch my drift…  :)

10,001 Calories Later…

01/24/2010 in Hotels, Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 4 comments

I’ve been eating like a total pig lately. 

oy.

oy.

It’s sexy, I know.  On Friday, I had a business lunch at Park 75 at the Four Seasons Hotel with a few colleagues.  Park 75’s menu, which is heavy with healthy salad options, is always an excellent choice for a Midtown business lunch.  On Friday, though, I did not opt for a salad.  Instead – without hesitation – I selected the Park 75 “Mac and Cheese,” which also includes plump bay shrimp and tasty jumbo lump crab meat.  It was a lot of food, much heavier than I normally eat for lunch, but even two days later I am pretty sure it was the best decision I made all week.  Almost everyone who joined me for lunch also ordered the M&C (peer pressure)…and we all ended up with spotlessly clean plates. 
pigging out @ Park 75

pigging out @ Park 75

I am pretty sure there were close to 10,001 calories in the Park 75 M&C, but I mean it when I say that I thoroughly enjoyed every heaping forkful – savoring that I was slowly undoing everything I’d done in the gym over the previous three days. 

i'm strong

Park 75 sure knows what they are doing – and it’s good to know that they not only have great soup + salad + sandwich options for my business lunches, but also incredible comfort food.  Don’t forget about Park 75 on the weekends!  They have an excellent Saturday and Sunday brunch menu and an absolutely delightful Afternoon Tea from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.  (Reservations required for tea.)  Bon appetit!

virtually no difference...

Fresh-ually Oriented Content

11/05/2009 in Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 3 comments

I work in Midtown and have been blessed with an abundance of great lunch spots nearby my office.  On Tuesday, I went with colleagues to Grindhouse Killer Burgers and had probably the best turkey burger I’ve ever eaten.  We all loved it there and can’t wait to go back!  I promised Dana I’d grab lunch with her yesterday, and in search of some lighter fare we opted for one of my lunch staples, Fresh 2 Order (F2O) in the Spire Building.

F2O in the Spire Building

F2O in the Spire Building

F2O is perfect for a work lunch.  It’s nearby my office (key point), incredibly fresh, refreshing and their salads are plentiful.  There are a number of items on the F2O menu to choose from, but I never get past their delicious salads.  When I arrived, as per usual, the line was out the door.  Don’t be intimidated – it moves quickly.  I ordered my favorite, the Southwest Salad w/ Salmon, and it was predictably perfect.  Here’s what’s in it:

Southwest Salad
Mixed Greens, Tomatoes, Cheese, Roasted Corn, Cranberries, Raisins, Tortilla Strips, Southwestern Ranch Dressing + Bourbon Grilled Salmon

Southwest Salad @ F2O

My second favorite F2O salad is the Asian Salad:

Asian Salad
Mixed Greens, Candied Walnuts, Tomatoes, Sesame Seeds, Avocado, Pickled Ginger, Crispy Noodles, Mandarin Oranges, Mixes Nuts, Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing + Almond Rosemary Crusted Tuna

Asian Salad @ F2O

F2O also has a Gluten Free Menu and a To Go/ Catering Menu online.  Check them out!  Although the Spire Building location in Midtown is my personal haunt, there are F2Os all over Atlanta – and one in Chattanooga.  See you there soon!
