Have a wonderful and safe trip! I can't wait to see your posts when you return.

They take bbq seriously in Atlanta! Then again, all southern soul food is sure to hit the spot . Fried okra, shrimp & grits, bread pudding, hush puppes and homestyle beans!

There are lots of little local diners, food trucks and the like for you to experience the regional flavors. Speaking of food trucks, if you want to track where to find a good spot so you don't need to worry about hotel food, look here! They even have menu's listed

I did some research. I am not sure the days you will be gone but Jan 26th there is an Atlanda beer festival. Atlanta Winter Beer Fest!

The 25th-27th they have a harley booth at the motorcycle show. I know it's not food related but I thought if you had time, it may peak your interest.

Here is a link for things going on around the area food & drink related : http://www.atlantabuzz.com/category/food-drink/

Wow thank you TMF, awesome research.

I will be online the whole week and I will be working while at the convention as I have a big project underway and cant just break from it for a volunteer week.

If there is anything exciting to report I surely will. One of these days I have to get some pics uploaded to post here. What sites are you all using for that? I have Photobucket.

I had the most wonderful lunch today at a little mediteranean bistro!

The atmosphere was classy but still casual and comfortable. They set the tone with goegeous red table settings, cute candle holders and faint authentic music playing in the background.

The lighting was perfect, my waitress was a resfreshing burst of energy & the food was out of this world. I think I had a divine experience, similar to the ones from Eat pray love. THAT is exactly what I have tried to embrace and it's the type of life I want to continue living. Fresh food, lovely ambiance and the feeling as if you've been transported to an exotic destination.

I am still swooning. Okay so my lunch is pretty much the only thing I will be eating today because there was so much to choose from and I couldn't resist!

I started with a glass of water with extra lemon & then I had a pepsi with my main.

I shared two appetizers : Tyrokafteri Dip - a feta and roasted red pepper spread served with fresh warm pita bread & mythos mussels - steamed in greek beer, lemon and a fresh garlic cream

My entree was a lamb and spice stuffed grape leaf (just one) on the side of a chicken and chorizo whole wheat penne with bright fresh veggies, a spicy tomato sauce and manchego cheese.

I really didn't have any room for dessert BUT who can turn down herbal tea, deep fried cheesecake & baklava??

My friends are too kind to me.

That sounds wonderful!
I've heard of lots of deep fried things before, but never deep fried cheesecake

Was it amazing?

We started making Tiramisu in class today, and it will be finished next week. It was fun, and I think that I am really going to enjoy my Advanced Pastry class. It looks like we will be making mostly tortes, and European style desserts.
