• Farm 255: the best restaurant in Athens

    Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

    OK, it’s a strong statement, but I believe it.
    Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures to document my wonderful experience at Farm 255, but I’m hoping I can paint pictures with words for you.
    If you don’t know the history of Farm 255, its namesake is due to the restaurant’s farm right outside of Athens where little [...]

    To all my readers:

  • Big City Bread's New Web site

    Friday, May 16th, 2008

    Thank goodness, Big City Bread has come out from under its sketchy little hole.
    I feel like they’ve been hiding under a rock since they stopped their commercial bakery, but I think they’re back in business now!
    I found their new Web site: www.bigcitybreadcafe.com today, and it’s great!  The menu, bakery options and catering options are all [...]

  • To the Bluebird Cafe Once More

    Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

    After pancakes on Saturday, Dad and I decided to go for brunch after church to the Bluebird Cafe.
    I’ve posted about it before, and I think my favorite part is still their biscuits. I’ve never had anything like them! Huge, whole wheat, thick…you can’t get much better.
    I wanted quiche on Sunday morning, but the [...]

    Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

    The Grit, a local vegetarian hot spot, has been one of my favorite Athens restaurants since I came to school.

  • HECK YES. I've found it.

    Thursday, October 4th, 2007

    Ever need a good cup of coffee and some apple butter?
    To some, this may seem like an odd combination. For me, it’s heaven.
    My friends know I love toast. My friends know I love to put jelly on my toast. However, only my closest friends know that, above anything else, I love to [...]

  • UnreGRITably good

    Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

    To many, the word, “vegetarian,” may either bring forth a feeling of disgust, a feeling of anxiety or a feeling disbelief. To those who have been to The Grit, however, feelings like those never exist.
    Located on Prince Avenue near downtown, The Grit is the home to many famous meals: Grilled Cheese Smelt, Tabouli salad, [...]
