Has anyone ever been to My Friend's Place deli. I know that there are a few of them around the Atlanta area. I used to work in Marietta and would sometims go to the one on Akers Mill Rd. for lunch.

My little man has been asking me all week if we can make a slurp. While I was pretty sure I knew what he meant, it is dangerous to assume. So I asked him, “What is a slurp?” He replied, “You know.

Do you shop for your fresh food and produce locally? If not, you may want to give it some serious consideration. Although today's global market allows us to buy foods grown almost anywhere in the world at any given time, this option is not the most sustainable. Buying in-season fruits and vegetables that are locally grown helps to eliminate the environmental... [Read more...]
What’s the most unique place that you’ve ever seen a company advertise their product? I used to think that the signage that hung above the bathroom stalls at the local sports bar were pretty ingenious (talk about a captive audience), but Burger King’s latest ploy to peddle their discounted double-cheeseburgers’, I must admit, is pretty damn clever.

I just came back from a spring break trip in Miami. After a day on the beach with friends and my second Call-A-Cab, I was in need of a good meal. I hadn’t really tried Cuban food before, but there was an inexpensive Cuban restaurant a few blocks from the beach so I decided to give it a shot. That was probably my best decision all week. The Ropa Vieja... [Read more...]
