Sack Lunch Company
This cute little food stand is totally hilarious and at the same time so comforting and yummy..they are located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta in a small green building located in the Food District on Broad Street. Here's the kicker..u can get a sandwich, chips, a juice box and gushers and "Mom" will put a cool note inside ur sack lunch with sayings like "Wash your hands" or "Mom loves you"..It's nice being a grown-up but who doesnt love mama? :-)and u can even buy a snoopy lunch pail or other novelty items.. It's like being back in middle school except the kid at the next lunchtable won't be kicking u in the keister and taking your lunch..lol...supercool!

ATL Hidden Spots

So i was enjoying my TIVO last weekend and checked out one of my fave culinary shows on PBS..and lo and behold this guy knew what he was talking about! he named some of my fave "hidden restaurants" that are best kept secrets to only those Atlantians that are in the know..you know the kind of spot where perhaps they are a "mom and pop" joint that is a family affair..or a neighborhood fixture that not only serves your appetite, but also does a community service..or places with hours that are mysterious but somehow all the foodie groupies know exactly when to catch them open..if you are curious check out the Big Guy with the Red Beard on the attached link...http://www.pba.org/programming/programs/getdelicious/

But on to my picks for ATL Hidden Spots..these are off the beaten path..you won't find long articles written about them in the local media..but OMG are they good...they are not fancy..but the restaurant is clean..the service is friendly and if you become a regular the wait staff will greet you with a warm hello..Holla at your girl if you love my list...but SHHHHHH this will be our little secret...lol

FEATURE OF THE MONTH: SAUCED

Don't you love when you discover something new? when i discover a new restaurant that is off the beaten path..it feels like a delicious little secret that i can nibble on and keep to myself..or share with my loyal followers! :-)

One of just those type of finds is SAUCED..the newest foray by famed ATL Chef Ria..

Ria started Ria's Bluebird Cafe and has consistently delivered one of the city's best comfort breakfasts hands down! this lady makes a mean pancake..brisket ...and her bionic breakfast with tofu sprouts, pan seared tilapia and skillet potatoes is the breakfast of champions..lol..all in the coolest Grant Park location, across from the infamous Oakland Cementary on Boulevard

Sauced is her latest baby and oh i am so glad she birthed this one Ms. Scarlet..lol...this restaurant is a fresh take on "new south" food and the decor was so cute and kitschy that my dinner companion and i sat and laughed at how "Dad's Den" as the dining room is called reminded us of our parent's 1970's basement complete with paneling and knick-knacks that I know my mom still has from back in the day...

And let me mention that my dinner companion is one of the most discriminating foodies on the planet...she was doing the whole organic and "farm to table" concept 30 years ago...if she says it is fresh and the food is good..then bet your bottom dollar it is the bomb..(hey Kay!!) The food was intentionally thoughtful..the black-eyed pea fritters..sweet potato fries ..3 course skewers and lemon ice box pie made me swoon...and then there was this big ole biscuit thing that Ria stuffed with a Brisket that was positively melt in your mouth..and of course the signature sauces were awesome and a great accompaniment to the meal...

lord god if it weren't for the fact my boss would miss me i'd go right now! lol...i love this new hot spot in Inman Park..it is hanging on the edge of Edgewood Avenue and just a smidge away from Krog Street..

Run don't walk to check out this new gem...I challenge you to find something on the menu that is not fun, delicious and inventive!

FEATURED HOT SPOT FOR MAY**

Hello Friends:

I started brainstorming about what makes my city so special..there's so much but one thing i must shout out is that the A-T-L keeps it fresh! What that means to me is that this city is in a constant evolution to be the best and brightest in our beautiful United States...so i'm starting a new corner here on the blog where i feature a hot spot weekly or monthly...you know dahlings i'm a woman so it's our perogative to change our minds..lol...And I'm going to move by how the Spirit moves me..so I present to you those spots that work hard for your business...places that constantly study perhaps the palates of the public to step up the menu a notch, maybe they have recently added a fabu decor or just simply they are tops at providing customer service from the employee who greets you when you walk in the door to the entire dining experience..I'm excited to intro one of my Hometown faves this month:

Pasta Amore (formerly known as Camille's Sidewalk Cafe)
3499 Chamblee Tucker RdAtlanta, GA 30341 (770) 455-0500

Pasta Amore is one of those hidden spots that only the locals know about...You know I'm a proud Tuckertonian (i made that up :-) and this is one of our lunch spot faves. Pasta Amore recently revamped their menu to include a tasty variety of pastas to tickle your tastebuds...and i have tried a sampling from all their menu items and my personal faves are the wraps, salads, flatbread pizza and the pasta with a sidekick of a hearty breadstick...They also have WIFI, delicious coffee, a selection of bakery items that never disappoint and the food comes out quickly, warm and savory...Stop in and tell the manager Angela and the General Mgr that ATLBROWNGIRL sent you by...they will greet you with a warm smile and by the end of your visit i hope this local lunch watering hole will be one of your faves too....NOTE CDC EMPLOYEES NOW GET A 15% DISCOUNT WITH YOUR BADGE...

Hats off Pasta Amore for making Tucker proud!

Who's got Kickin' Wings?

Rick's Hotwings 3103 Cobb Pkwy NW Kennesaw, GA 30152 (678) 453-4343
Great lemon-pepper and hot.

Da Bomb Wings & Seafood 250 Auburn Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30303 (404) 681-5513
Sketchy location just around the corner from Harlem Bar with limited seating and a serious takeout/delivery business. They have a ga-jillion flavors and the wings are meaty and juicy Don't go for the ambience, go when you need a late nite fix or better yet, have them delivered!

Publix various locations around the city
wow..who knew a grocery store deli could turn out some of the most delish wings you've ever tasted..love the mardi gras and lemon pepper

Famous Yardbird 1025 E West Connector, Austell, GA 30106 (678) 556-0161 the wings are a meal, not a drinking snack. Tater tots are and you gotta have the Slices of Texas toast

Buffalo China: 1145 Glenwood Ave., 404-622-8888 (multiple locations). Crisp-saucy "braised" wings with fried rice is the tasty signature at this wings-n-Chinese joint. Sketchy location with lots of panhandlers...

Lip-tingling spices and sweet smoke earn these hot little suckers best in show for barbecue.

J.R. Crickets: 631 Spring St., 404-881-1950, http://www.jrcrickets.com%20/(multiple locations). Carefully honed dive-bar atmosphere makes you crave a beer. Small, crispy-bitted wings, chunky homemade blue cheese dressing and a fistful of celery are always just right if not memorable. If you climb the stairs, don't let your eyes dwell on the archaeology of gum beneath the mezzanine-level tables.

LT's Wings & Other Things: 1160 Fairburn Rd., 404-349-0006. (multiple locations) A stopover for commuters who call ahead and pick up boxes of wings, each with a baggie of celery sticks and baby carrots. If you eat on premises, the friendly owners will set up a picnic table on the patio.

Taco Mac: 573 Main St. (in Lindbergh City Center) 404-574-5813, http://www.tacomac.com/ (multiple locations). We know everybody loves these hometown wings, but we thought the skin was just too soft. Then again, after sampling the exhaustive beer list, we didn't mind the flimsiness so much after all.

Wing Ranch: 1154 Lawrenceville Hwy., Lawrenceville. 678-225-0750, http://www.wingranch.com/ (multiple locations). Give us a home where wingless chickens roam: This Western-themed spot serves up a fine passel of flavors (garlic Parmesan or lime-pepper, anyone?) in a spit-shined strip-mall dude ranch.
