Gianduia

Fresh Market’s Gianduia Bar ($3.49)

It shouldn’t be a surprise when an $8 chocolate bar is outstanding. On rare occasions, those $8 bars are surprisingly bad. But, that’s another story. On the other hand, it’s always extremely shocking to us when we find a 3.5 ounce bar for […]

Crimson Raisins @ Fresh Market

Jumbo Crimson Raisins

The color of each individual raisin ranges from deep gold to to bright pink to a purply red.

$4.99 a pound

Now, we’d be the first to tell you… we’re not big raisin fans. As a matter of […]

Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub

Wild Heaven Eschaton & Cream Soda

Wild Heaven Eschaton, a Belgian-style quadrupel ale (10.5%) aged on pinot noir chips is currently available in only a handful of restaurants in Atlanta and Athens. We enjoyed the rich flavor that reminded us of a fine tawny port with hints of […]

Virgil’s Root Beer

Virgil’s Root Beer (And Stevia Sweetened Zero)

In search of the best root beer…

Virgil’s microbrewed root beer is a serious contender. Seriously. With a long list of natural spices, including sweet birch, vanilla, anise, licorice, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice, molasses, cassia oil, wintergreen and balsam […]

David’s Produce & Country Store

David’s Produce & Country Store

The smell of boiled peanuts simmering in a giant pot out front and this wooden door frame with vintage vegetable art tacked to it invite you in. The building might be small in stature, but, it’s packed to the gills […]

Penzeys Spices

You can’t beat a store full of freshly stocked herbs and spices. From Aleppo to TienTsin, there’s a hot pepper here for you. Or, would you like something a bit more exotic like ajwain seeds, epazote, galangal, kala jeera, sumac or mahlab?

Holiday season is right around the […]

The cinnamon twist showcases their delicious dough to […]

Kombucha

Multi-Green Kombucha

It looks a bit like New York City sewer water might after the Zombie Apocalypse. But, after a sip or two it’s oddly addictive and “interesting”. There’s a seriously sharp, vinegary bite. And, there’s quite a bit of harsh IN YOUR FACE (and tickle your nose) […]

Crazy Ron’s BBQ

Crazy Ron’s BBQ Rib Plate

That little red train car dished up one giant mound of tender saucy ribs, again. We’re really starting to crave these giants on a regular basis.

With Beans & Potato Salad

We did miss the collard […]

H&F Bread Co. — Pretzel Rolls

Pretzel Rolls

These beautiful pretzel rolls are formed into mini baguette shapes (AKA mini ficelle). And, they couldn’t be more perfect in freshness, flavor, or texture. Though, we might appreciate a touch less salt. But, that’s an easy fix. We simply brush off the excess with our fingers. […]
