    I quickly ran to the Black Forest Bakery for lunch after my doctors appointment today before going back to work. I had never been there before, but I had heard raving reviews about the donuts [...]

  • Catching up at The Grit

    Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

    The Grit, a local vegetarian hot spot, has been one of my favorite Athens restaurants since I came to school.
    I think the word “vegetarian” scares a lot of people away, but I think the negative connotation will go away once you try their mac and cheese.

    I’m going to tell you something really exciting.
    At the end of Milledge Avenue, almost to Prince Avenue, lies a little house on the right side of the road. “What’s so special about a little house?,” you ask. Let me tell you.

    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, [...]
