• Pauley’s: Not quite like Paris, but close enough.

    Pauley’s is a new restaurant and bar that opened up on West Clayton across the street from Transmet and between General’s and Cutter’s.
    I was really excited about a new, creative restaurant that wasn’t too big to handle and had a lot of personality. In case you didn’t know, Pauley’s specialty is crêpe-making (pronounced KREHP…with the [...]

  • Farm 255: the best restaurant in Athens

    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 [...]

  • My first trip to Mama's Boy.

    Whenever I hear about Mama’s Boy, comments are always accompanied by positive comments, rave reviews and dialogue along the lines of, “Ohmygosh you’ve never been there?! Well, we’re going to have to fix that.”

  • Your Pie: Um, go there TODAY.

    There are many pizza places in town, but I am amazed at the genius behind the concept of Your Pie. In an increasingly competitive Athens food market, these guys found a niche that I think will take them to infinity and beyond.
    Please let me tell you how amazing my little lunch was at Your Pie [...]

  • To the Bluebird Cafe Once More

    After pancakes on Saturday, Dad and I decided to go for brunch after church to the Bluebird Cafe.

    I wanted quiche on Sunday morning, but the [...]

  • Catching up at The Grit

    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.

    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

    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, [...]
