Delicious Decatur: Kimball House.

Delicious Decatur: Kimball House.

Although there is a time and place for my beloved Chick-Fil-a, when meeting up with some well-traveled friends, after a bit of back and forth, we arrived at the decision to head back to Decatur (for those keeping score — our third trip to the […]

The National: Athens, GA steps up!

The National: Athens, GA steps up!

So, the next step on my stomach expanding Southern hospitality tour was a visit to The National, located in Athens, GA (and ranked quite highly on Trip Advisor). As Hubs used to work for one of the best restaurants in the city (The Last Resort […]

Local Republic: Put Some South in Your Mouth.

Local Republic: Put Some South in Your Mouth.

For another stop on my ‘local restaurants of Gwinnett County tour,’ I had Local Republic in mind. An easy 15 minutes from my parent’s house, the restaurant is located in quaint downtown Lawrenceville. Given a wonderful June day, we opted to eat outside (there is […]

1910 Public House: Small town, big flavors!

1910 Public House: Small town, big flavors!

Growing up in the suburbs (and staying outside the city when visiting home), I’m always grateful and on the look out for non-chain restaurants. As a way to celebrate and support local business, I think it’s important to dine in new establishments, especially ones like […]

Cocktails in the sky, at street level and not Hooters: A night out in Atlanta.

Cocktails in the sky, at street level and not Hooters: A night out in Atlanta.

Coming home to Atlanta, I was probably most excited by the fact that I would get to see my sister and brother in law. After some back and forth about which hotel to stay in for a night out in the city, we ultimately decided […]

Flight status: QR’s new DOH-ATL route.

Flight status: QR’s new DOH-ATL route.

Photo heavy post ahead! When trying to decide how to capitalize on some of the great rates from Qatar Airlines, Hubs and I debated for a very quick few hours before deciding on booking the Atlanta route from Doha (via Dubai). We hadn’t planned on […]

An American expat in Weslodge’s court…

An American expat in Weslodge’s court…

Canadian import Weslodge has been on my radar for awhile. While the timing wasn’t particularly ideal (I had just stuffed about a kilo of sushi in my face a few hours previously), when an invite came from a dear friend on Tuesday night, how was I […]
