Cali N Tito’s

Posted on by

There has to be at least a million places to get a sandwich these days.  But let me tell you. There is only one Cali-n-Tito’s.  Sit on the patio and enjoy the rustic ambiance as it transports you to a far away place. Once you regain your senses you will be amazed at the delicious food here.  I am a huge fan of the Cuban sandwiches as well as the tacos.

The Chicken Cuban. Possibly the best sandwich in existence.

I have a tendency to order 3 different menu items and share. That is the plan anyway. When the food arrives I have found myself eating an entire sandwich, two empanadas and two tacos in one sitting. I implore you, take a weekend road trip to Athens Georgia and make Cali – n – Tito’s one of your stops. You will thank me!

Sokongdong Tofu House

As a newcomer to Korean food, I am always open to trying a variety of new choices, to make sure I am not missing out on anything. This practice led me to discover the seafood pancake at So Kong Dong and I am forever thankful.  It is one of those dishes that I didn’t even know existed, so I couldn’t even crave it.  Now, however, I am always craving this dish even when I am not even hungry!

With a variety including bibimbap, short ribs, and bulgogi, Sokongdong Tofu House may need to be the first place you go to try Korean cuisine. All of these selections, including the seafood pancake, where absolutely delicious.

Mezza Luna

Italian food can be some of the best cuisine out there when it is prepared well with fresh ingredients and with traditional recipes.  Unfortunately it can be quite expensive and often misses the mark. Thankfully, Mezza Luna has come on the scene with old world recipes and preparation as well as exceptional quality! Tucked into an unlikely plaza on Spring road in Smyrna, this little gem is big on flavor and hospitality. Who doesn’t like listening to Frank Sinatra covers by a live singer while eating delicious Italian? I know I do!

If you are anything like me, you have at least three or four Mexican restaurants that you frequently go to depending on where you are that day and what you are in the mood for.  It may be a margarita that you are craving or it may be guacamole that you are after.  Well let me tell you, if it is taco night for you and your family, there are no better tacos anywhere in Atlanta than the ones at El Rey del Taco.

Tacos

These babies are the real deal, steak, onions and cilantro. Add a little bit of their heavenly spicy avocado sauce and you have the perfect hand held food. I will also attest to the torta’s that they prepare. They make one of the best Chicken Milanese torta’s I have ever had. Crispy chicken, fresh tomatoes and creamy avocado and warm soft bread, you will wonder why you haven’t been eating tortas your whole life..

Greek Fest

Atlanta Greek Festival

Posted on by

If an outdoor festival along with incredible history, and great food sound like something you may be interested in, I highly recommend the Atlanta Greek Festival. Happening in the fall at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Clairmont Road in September, this festival has become one of my favorite to attend. The family friendly atmosphere, traditional music, merchants selling their wares, and the smell of lamb smoking in the background, you can’t beat this for a beautiful afternoon.

Lamb on the Spit

Seeing the whole lamb rotating on the spit really gets my imagination going. I often wonder why I don’t have one of these set up in my backyard. The best part is, you can then buy lamb by the ounce. I am talking delicious!

And do you want to know what is awesome? if you don’t have time to actually attend the festival, they have a drive through so you can still enjoy the food. How amazing is that.

Italian food bursting with flavor, atmosphere brimming with conversation, this is what you will find at Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano. The family style seating will allow you to meet your neighbors, while you enjoy a glass of wine. I would recommend sharing the plate of pasta alongside the Sorrento Chicken.

Make sure, however, to save room for some Gelato at the end of your meal, you will not be disappointed.
