Taste of Atlanta

October 24, 2011

This past weekend was a great weekend for us foodies in Atlanta, it was the 10th Anniversary of the Taste of Atlanta. Which meant food tents, demonstrations, block parties and plenty of beer, wine and cocktails. This year, Taste of Atlanta took place at Tech Square at Georgia Tech, my alma mater. It was nice [...]

Field of Greens | A Celebration of Local Food

October 3, 2011

The Field of Greens Festival is one of my very favorite festivals in the Atlanta area. It is a festival that celebrates local food, and it takes place at Whippoorwill Hollow Farm out in Covington, Georgia. What better way to celebrate local food, than at a local, organic farm? Of course, you would find me [...]

Atlanta Food & Wine Festival | A Taste of the South

May 23, 2011

What a fantastic taste of the South. The tasting tents at the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival were the highlight of the event for me. There’s almost nothing that I find more fun than wandering from table to table looking at and tasting dishes from some of the best restaurants and foodcrafters from the region. [...]

Atlanta Food & Wine Festival | A Southern Event

May 22, 2011

To say that this weekend was amazing would be an understatement. It was a big food weekend in Atlanta, both the BlogHer Food conference and the first ever Atlanta Food & Wine Festival were both happening, at the same time. And I should mention… I attended both. I was ecstatic to be a part of [...]

Field of Greens Festival

October 3, 2010

Although we live 45 minutes outside the middle of Atlanta, it took us over an hour to drive out to Whippoorwill Hollow Farm for the Field of Greens festival.

Tonight, Paul and I went to the 3rd annual Taste of Johns Creek at Chattahoochee High School. This event is a fundraiser for the high school and middle school football teams. I had [...]
