• The food, amazing. Absolutely amazing. I ordered the fried chicken w/ cornbread dressing & gravy, mac & cheese, green beans and collard greens, fried green tomatoes, cracklin cornbread and I ate every last drop. Did you read that correctly? Indeed, you did. This place has about 20 sides and each meal comes with 2. The hardest part is picking. They do have an all you can eat family style for about $30 a person. They just keep bringing out platters. 

  
  

  Mary Mac's might be the most famous southern food establishment in all of Atlanta. Nearly 75yrs old feeding tourists all the classics and this place is huge. They can serve hundreds at a time. Also don't forget the lady they have going around giving back rubs while you eat. That's right get a back rub while you're chewing on some shrimp and grits lol. What a great night for my family. I almost forgot the peach cobbler. Probably what they are most famous for. Worth the trip alone I swear!

I was overwhelmed when my order of their Coronary Bypass Burger came before me because it sounds scary for someone like me to even get this through my blood stream but hey this burger was screaming eat me! and SCREW YOUR DOCTOR..!!!

I'm a burger dude, I may not eat burgers as much as I used to but traveling from 1000 miles away this Coronary Bypass Burger was screaming at me. 

It was sirloin bliss packed with 2 patties, 4 slices of American cheese, 8 slices of bacon, 2 grilled cheeses as buns, and a fried egg to top it off. It felt like I just had a 3 course meal with one bite, maybe the best burger I ever had. I thought all the stuff was a gimmick but it all worked so well together. No need for me to go triple bypass!

Even better! my wife ordered the Fat Elvis and I took a bite of it, this burger has peanut butter, fried bananas and bacon... Holy sh*t!!! this was something we never tried before with all that mesh into a burger and it didn't taste weird at all!...it was excellent! I was lost for words...this burger was meant to be!

What's very cool about Vortex is their cool selection of signature burgers, just to name a few: Hell's Fury, Big Bad Voodoo Patty, Yokohama Mama, of course each with there own flavor. The burgers here are alittle pricey but they are large and covered in greatness. The Vortex was our very last restaurant stop in Atlanta and it made our experience a memorable one. The Vortex is just a small dive bar. Filled with rowdy drinking smoking types. You have to be 18yrs old to even eat here. So needless to say this place is not family friendly. We got our food to go. I would go back in an instant.

Super hip small brunch spot in Atlanta. Loved this place. The whole vibe was totally hipster trendy and the food was killer. Expect to wait, there is almost always a small line. I had the brisket and eggs, biscuits and gravy, caramelized banana French toast, pancakes, so much I can't even remember. Gravy was delicious and the brisket and eggs are a perfect combo. Everything was excellent and we had plenty of leftovers. I heard they have good vegetarian options also. I definitely would go back. Dope spot for some southern classics.

What'll ya have?!?  2 chili slaw dogs, rings and a burger with everything.  Yeah, I love this place.  It's an institution, an Atlanta landmark. Biggest drive-in in the world. They serve up to 40,000 people a day, after a Georgia Tech football game. As you drive thru midtown you can't miss the giant V. The Varsity serves your typical fried greasy food with chili sauce, it was pretty good though. Don't forget the deep fried peach pie either o ya and a peach milkshake. What'll ya have?!?

Cute little spot in one of the best East Village blocks. Very small very upscale cafe. The dulce de leche pastries with coconut are what I came for and they were great.  The oatmeal pecan bars were good, as were the rugelah.  Looking forward to a trip back to try their babka. I also want to try their avocado toast. Looks like guacamole spread high on a toasted croissant. Nice little spot for a treat. I will be back, which says alot.

I have never been to Hawaii so I honestly have not visited this location. I saw the show Drinking Made Easy and Maui Brewing Company caught my eye. Once I heard coconut beer, I knew i had to track it down. After searching the Internet and making a few phone calls, it was apparent I wasn't going to find this liquid gold on the east coast. Maui Brewing has no distribution on my side of the Country so I had to mail order it from Cali. Due to shipping, the 4pack of cans cost me about $20 to my door. Good luck getting some because it is illegal to ship beer to NY. Everyone online was bragging about the toasted coconut taste. Ill be honest, when it comes to beer I am a wuss. I only drink light beer and cant get into the dark. Unfortunately, for me this is very dark. I was unable to pick up the subtle coconut flavors. It is tolerable to drink but maybe that's because I paid so much for it. OWell, I'm sure if you like a dark beer this is good stuff. I also hear if you are in Hawaii the brewing company is the place to be for good food and a good time. So check it out

If you think Auntie Anne's is the best pretzel you've ever had... well you've got it twisted.  Miller's Twist was a pleasant surprise. Located in the heart of the Reading Terminal Market, a food lovers paradise. Reading Terminal is a must visit while you are in Philadelphia. They had a bunch of different types of pigs in a blanket (they were pretty huge pigs... because they used hot dogs and sausages) and it was worth trying. How about a philly cheesesteak wrapped into a pretzel. Only in Philly. They were DELICIOUS!  They have a few dips to partner with their pretzels and it was a perfect pairing. We also got the Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel and that was delicious too -- great way to end a meal!
