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!

Kula the Revolving Sushi Bar

If I say Sushi, what would you say? YES! Is the only correct answer. I had the pleasure of eating at the newest Sushi place in Doraville this week, called Kula it is an international brand, with 400 restaurants in Japan and this is the 13th revolving sushi bar in the US. They have places in California, Texas, and now Georgia. Hosted by Davo Eda, the Public Relations Manager, he was so kind to invite me in to see the new place. He even let me bring a friend, so of course I brought my favorite lady Callie, to help me eat and take pictures. We were introduced to Mr. Fresh, it is the plate holder for the conveyor belt, "he" holds the green plates of food and treats. There was a tutorial of how to grab the food from the belt, as well as how to order from the menu and dispose of your plates. Mr. Fresh keeps the food germ free, has a chip in it for timing and every 2 hours he lets a specialists know it is time to throw the food out. This ...

A relationship is like a good chili

On a cold day I love nothing more than a nice bowl of chili. Im sure most of us feel the same. I love getting fresh veggies and a great lean meat and making it myself, letting it cook most of the morning so I have something to warm my belly at night. My chili has lots of layers of flavor to it and changes depending on the products I have available to me at the market. As I was making chili this week I was thinking about my current single status. And I started laughing...relationships and chili are very similar. Im sure I am not the only person that has thought of this, but I instantly decided this was going to be my next topic! So here we go! My chili recipe calls for a large pot (I like a dutch oven), to start. I place it on a medium high heat and add oil. I have chopped up a larger white onion and a few cloves of garlic. I add this in and let it cook down till tender. I then add my peppers, now yo...

Goodbye to a Friend

I'm There are times in your life where it seems you are at someone's going away party. Friends get new jobs, they marry, or even leave for school. All kinds of reasons for a move. Some friends you throw a party some friends you take to a bar and some its a nice dinner. My friend Laurie is moving out of state for a new job. I wanted to give her a foodie night out so I did some research and found a new place Endive Publik House at 1468 Mecaslin St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309. It's new opened in March and is only open Thursday thru Saturday. I recommend making reservations this place is smaller and has few seats. The menu is inventive and fresh. Some foodie plates for those of you that want to expand your palette and some go tos for those of you that would never eat 'that'. What ever that may be. We started with a bottle of red wine a Pinot Nior recommended by our sever. Two appetizers a Trio plate of dips with homemade chips and pickled vegetables. We also had a Fig and ...
