Foodie News x Restaurant Reviews x Hip-Hop Attitude

In 2010, I (Nick Love) spent over 45% of my annual income eating out at some of Atlanta's best (and worst) restaurants. So, who better to guide you through the city's crowded dining terrain?? Now, I, along with my team of Hip-Hop generation foodies, will expose and review ATL's newest hits, hidden gems, and old favorites. Hopefully, this blog will earn us a free meal or two while we point you guys in the direction of some good food and steer you away from the wackness. Let's eat!!!

The Great Debate: BBQ

Nick Love 5 comments
Almost every week, us good people here at ATL Bite Life like to do a Great Debate post.  It serves a couple of purposes.  First, it's an invitation to you guys to interact with us.  No good blog can survive without reader feedback.  Your support, your praise, and, yes, even your critiques, have helped shape this site.  Second, we're lazy.  A post like this allows us to slap up a cool picture, ask for your input, and call it a day.  Finally, it's a learning opportunity for us.  Sometimes, we honestly just don't know what the BEST spot is.  Other times, you guys turn us on to new spots that we can go review.  Win-Win for everyone!!!

So, today's question is this - WHO HAS THE BEST BBQ IN ATLANTA??  Now, the OBVIOUS answer is MY PARENTS!!!  No one grills like them!!!  However, every now and then, when they don't feel like firing up the charcoal, they make a run to Fox Brothers BBQ on De.Kalb Ave.  And, of course, everyone swears by Fatt Matt's. 

What do YOU think??

Hit us up!!!

Taste of Atlanta 2011 Recap

Nick Love 1 comment
 
I'm not gonna waste your time with a whole lot of words today.  If you missed this year's Taste of Atlanta, you didn't miss WORDS, you missed FOOD!!!  LOTS AND LOTS OF IT!!!   And you were probably the only one who did.  Check out the picture I snapped above.  Midtown was jam packed this weekend. 

Check out the pics I snapped below.  I would've taken more but I found myself digging into the food before I thought about it.  Some of the highlights - the barbecue spare ribs from Jim N Nicks, the sweet potato pancakes and the mini cupcakes from Highland Bakery, the bread pudding from Gordon Biersch, the pound cake from Melting Pot, the crawfish and shrimp etoufee from Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint, and the fried oyster po boy from Serpas.  There was a lot of good food there but those were the ones that stood out to me.

Oh, and I can't get forget about the VIP tent!!!  They had FREE BEER, WINE, and COCKTAILS!!!  I got a picture of the tent below BEFORE I started drinking and then. . . .  Lol.  There was this one drink that had this Michael Collins Whiskey that was INCREDIBLE!!!  I can't say enough about it!!!

I was still baffled by the long line at Ri Ra.  I told ya'll how I felt about the fish & chips they let us sample during the Sneak Peek.  I'll just chalk that up to people not knowing.  And, I was even more confused by the line at the Waffle House booth.  I mean, WAFFLE HOUSE??  Come on, guys!!!  I'll chalk that up to people being from out of town.  Smh. 

Either way, check out the pics below. 

See ya next year!!!

Atlanta BBQ Festival @ Atlantic Station (Sept 30-Oct 1, 2011)

Nick Love No comments

If there's one thing that can consistently get me going, it's good ol' fashioned barbecue!!!  The meat, the sauce, the sides. . .  BOY-OH-BOY!!!  Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.  The smell of charcoal burning and that beef, pork, and poultry slowly cooking brings back memories of family cookouts (FYI, my parents make THE BEST BABY BACK RIBS IN THE WORLD!!!).  And, what's the only thing better than a small family cookout??  Well, hopefully it's the Atlanta BBQ Festival.

The 3rd Annual Atlanta BBQ Festival goes down this Friday and Saturday in Atlantic Station w/ food, live music, cooking competitions, and more.  If you enjoy the distinct barbecue styles of St. Louis, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Texas's hearty flavor, or that Memphis dry rub (a flavor that I've grown to love over the last year or two), this is the place to be.  They're expecting 15,000+ to come across that 17th St bridge and I'm sure that I'll be one of them.  More than likely, I'll hit it up on Friday evening while the rest of the city is sitting in traffic.

Tickets for the event are only $6 in advance and are available here.  Kids 12 and under are FREE w/ a paid adult.

For more info, Follow Atlanta BBQ Festival on Twitter or Like Atlanta BBQ Festival on Facebook. 

Happy Eating!!!
