November full of great Food 101


There is so much going on during the holidays and as you can tell I've been bad on posting so here is a recap and highlights of my food in November. I hope you all are enjoying eating and cooking this year! 
My first stop was Food 101 they have a great spin on what country food is. We started w my favorites fried chicken skin and chicken fried quail! So yummy you might smack your grandma 
Now this plate of meatloaf may look simple but all that it may look like is not that! Creamy potatoes and a Demi glaze the perfect bite with a crispy green bean. 
Derek went with a classic! Buttermilk fried chicken! Juicy and sweet and with a touch of spice. Tender chicken I could not make better. I know JCT Kitchen says they have the number 2 fried chicken in the country but I would say that Food 101 is giving them a run for their money! 
For a nice night quiet in town that's classic in all ways this is for you. By the way try the flights of bourbon!!! Oh yes sir that's what you should get for dessert! 
The rest of my month was depend with home cooking! Family and friends and the start of holiday baking. 
Homemade chicken wings w a dry rub curry style and fresh cut fries! 
My mothers biscuits and gravy! Hot full of butter and cheddar and oh the gravey! Oh the gravey! 

And my favorite stop of November it's in Tennessee near my parents place in Paris. It's called Trolinger's  and I love it every year I fill up on fresh pork products and spices! Look at that case! 

Have a great holiday season and keep eating!

JCT Kitchen and Sunday Supper

During the holiday season Derek and I decided to go back to JCT. We have been there before dinner and drinks for my birthday which was great!  Sunday Supper is a great idea the JCT does. A course menu for under $30. It's such a great idea! First things first, make a reservation while you can sit at the bar for dinner table side service is very nice and there is always a long wait! So please make a  reservation!  Second, get there early. This helps with two items one it's nice for the staff to have you checked in ahead of time for seating rotation. Two you can sit at the bar and get a craft cocktail from one of the knowledgeable bartenders.  So we sit down and order our meal. Everyone starts with homemade biscuits and jam. And a course of devil eggs. Our biscuits came out late due to running out (they are that good) and the first round of the biscuits where over cooked but replaced quickly! The eggs are fantastic all what you need and just like moms only a lot better!...

Seven Lamps a hidden gem in Buckhead

We can all agree if you live in Atlanta that this summer has been pretty fantastic for weather. So to enjoy the summer nights as best I could I headed over to Buckhead and decided I would try a new place.  So here I am driving through a parking lot and off to the right tucked behind the storefronts was a little patio with covered tables. I pulled in and walk up to the front desk. Asked the girl if we could sit outside and off we went.  You have a choice between family style tables or little metal cafe tables. There are a few chairs you can sit in and have a cocktail or glass of wine.  We sat at the table and immediately had water brought over. I ordered a Rose' and my date a beer. I think it was called Naked Pig. He loved it!  The chef serves a pickled plate instead of bread. All done in house and soooo tasty. The menu is innovative. Local farm to table meals. The menu changes daily based on what is available. I was told the produce was sold by Farmer Dan...you can't...

Nuevo Laredo Cantina best Mexican in town

Nothing better on a bright and sunny afternoon than a margarita on the rocks and some good company. So this week I decided to go on an adventure and check out Nuevo Laredo Cantina located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. It's a great little hidden spot in Atlanta that has some of the best Mexican food you can find!  Walked in and got a table in the main dinning   area. Where you will find decor that is Charming and funny. Lots of pictures and some great signs! Chips and fresh salsa hit the table first. The chips are warm and salsa is fresh and spicy! The server came on and took out orders. We ordered margaritas on the rocks w salt now I will tell you the drink to order is the Cadillac margarita it's big and fantastic, but it was a week day so I went with the smaller one still as tasty just smaller!  The serve them by the glass or pitcher and prices start at $6.50.  Now I will have to let you in on a secret if mine. I have a weakness for a Chili R...
