On a cold Monday back in January, things were not business as usual on the Beltline near Paris on Ponce. Strolling pedestrians slowed, curious, as they passed by thousands of people gathered under an impromptu, professional-grade fireworks show. Flashes of color illuminated tear-stained faces. Atlanta’s tight-knit restaurant community had gathered to say farewell to a brother-in-arms: Angus... | more...

Husband and wife duo Mike and Shyretha Sheats started their “evolving dinner series,” the Plate Sale, back in August of 2016 with a late-night pop-up at Octopus Bar. It was an instant success: an evening of food and drink and love and community that Shyretha says far exceeded their wildest expectations.

On the first Saturday of each month, you can find Abiodun “Abbey” Henderson in the Westview Community Garden schooling young kids in the art...

To go along with a scrolled etching that reads “sucre” (which means “sugar” in French) and a heart-stamped whisk with the word “patisserie,” chef Meg Brent has a quenelle spoon tattooed on her right forearm. It is used to make rochers, those splendidly smooth egg-shapes that chefs form from the sweet and savory both sorbet and beef tartare. The tats are fitting for Brent’s newest role:... | more...

“The original J.R. Crickets, before it burned down, when you could order a 10-piece, all flats, and a 40-ounce of malt liquor. God, I miss the old Atlanta. I used to do an ATL challenge when friends would come visit: 40 ounces and a slice at Jack’s Pizza, then a 40-ounce and 10-piece at JR Crickets.” Bobby James, via Facebook
