All the beers and wines

I was feeling so hungry the other day and thought to stop into this swanky hip restaurant and bar called, Tap. I always drive by there and see it so packed at night time. Tap has been open for 3 years located in Midtown, Atlanta. This is a cool looking place with barrels and barrels of wine and beer all through out the place. The vibrant red decor really grabs your attention when you walk in. My girlfriend Mary Johnston stopped by for lunch with me, so that we could catch up with each others busy lives. She owns a pinup style photography studio and she is a hairstylist.

I was greeted buy the manager B.Randy and she told me that Tap was an innovative comfort food place, with a flip. Their top selling food items are the grilled cheese, Fried chicken liver and boiled peanuts. Their beer and wine is shipped in barrells from vineyards. They have lots of bottled beers and are very green for the environment. My 4 cheese, grilled cheese was delish and Mary loved her cobb salad. If you’re around town, stop into this friendly neighborhood place, you will love it. It’s like walking into Cheers minus Norm lol. Thanks to Hannah from Concentrics for allowing me to come out!

Their famous grilled cheese,yum!

Cafe at Pharr

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Today my hubby was too excited to hang out with me at another great eating spot. I was invited out to try Cafe at Pharr. This fun little place is located in the Buckhead,Ga area. We walked in and it was so crowded. When you go to eating places and it’s crowded, that is always a good sign lol.

We were greeted by a wonderful lady and she had our food already prepared. She brought out a sampler plate with salads and chips. My hubby and I dug in right away and we both took a bite and looked at each other. On his plate he had two sandwiches which was a tuna sandwich and chicken walnut salad sandwich. I had scoops of curry chicken salad, celery chicken salad and chicken walnut salad. Both came with salads and ginger dressing.

Walnut Chicken Salad & Tuna Salad Sandwiches

I immediately grabbed my knife and looked at my hubby and told him to get back! He had his fork ready to dive in my plate! No sir….Get! Cafe at Pharr is known for their healthy style menu and their dynamite chicken salad! It was the bomb diggity! My hubby couldnt chat with me because his mouth stayed full the whole time. I guess that meant he liked it! I told the waitress the food was the bomb but I don’t know if she knew what I was talking about lol.

Look at hubby with fork, a hot mess!

I loved every bite and it got better and better. Please if your in the buckhead area,please stop in and try it, you will actually email me and tell me how much you loved it! Yummy! Mike and Shirley Liu opened their doors in 1993 and now have 4 locations in: Buckhead, Chastain, Miami Circle, and opening soon in Brookhaven!

Thanks to Jessica Thomas for sending me out to another great place!

Brookhaven Bistro

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Owner Chef Chip Desormeaux and I

Today I was invited out to try Brookhaven Bistro located on Peachtree rd. It’s a small little bistro thats tucked behind Nuts n Berries health food store. My hubby and I walked in and the food smelled wonderful. The line was semi long, so that was a good sign lol. You could eat outside or inside. We chose to eat inside since I cant stand bugs lol.

My hubby bee lined to the health food store thats adjacent to the bistro since he is all into healthy eating now. I introduced myself to the owner Chip, who was waiting on alot of hungry costumers. I asked him what was the best selling entree and he told me the Salmon Quesadilla. So thats what I ordered and my hubby got the Awesome Greek Salad. We also got Italian chicken cannelini & veggie chilli soup. Everything was really good and I was mad at my hubby for wanting a bite of my quesadillas! Argh, can’t a girl have something to herself? smh!

Salmon Quesadilla,so good

I also got a chance to chat with Chef Chip and he told me he was married with 4 boys. He said the opportunity came up for him to open a restaurant with a health food store in the same place. He thought it was a great fit. He is very content with the one location for now and opened his doors in December 2007.

I enjoyed my food and I know my hubby did. It’s great to know that there is more and more health conscious restaurants opening up all over town. We have to make good decisions on what we are putting in our mouths.Nice to know that Chip and others are stepping up to the plate, lol. I like how I put that.

Thanks to Jessica Thomas for sending me out! I had a fabulous time, the food was yummy!

*I’m also wearing my Charli Girl clothing,so comfy!
