Review: Atlanta Trip


My brilliant and hard working hubby had a work trip to Atlanta last week and I got to tag along. It was my first time being in Atlanta (besides the airport). My wonder mother and father-in-law drove in to join us for a few days. It was wonderful having people to explore with while the hubs was busy. I absolutely loved exploring the city and the delicious southern food. First Nashville, now this, I have been eating far too well lately! Haha Here are some of the places we explored and places we ate! For being there for an entire week, I didn't take nearly enough photos...

South City Kitchen- I highly, highly recommend this place. We went for dinner and everything we had was absolutely delicious! I had the friend green tomatoes as an app, the friend chicken as my entree, and the pineapple upside down cake for dessert. 
Two Urban Licks-This place is tucked away but sure seemed to be a hot spot! Great drinks and apps. I enjoyed our entree but it still didn't compare to South City Kitchen. Super cool atmosphere though. I think that is one of the main draws. On a funny note, I matched the wait staff in my chambray top and black pants, lol
Max's Coal Oven Pizza- Tasty pizza and walking distance to the Georgia Aquarium and Coca Cola Factory, which was perfect for us. Perfect casual lunch or dinner spot. 
The Vortex-  Holy huge burger, Batman! So many burger options. I definitely enjoyed my "Greasy Spoon" burger.
Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken- I've become a friend chicken connoisseur over the last few weeks. This place didn't even come close. I'd skip it next time around. 
Flying Biscuit- This place had soooooo many reviews and was pretty busy for a mid-week morning. I didn't understand the hype. My omelet was an omelet...
Egg Harbor Cafe- This place actually did a great job with breakfast. They have a huge menu of options to pick from. My eggs were perfect cooked, not too much, not too little. 
Georgia Aquarium- My favorite part of the aquarium were the dolphin and sea lion shows! I always enjoy exploring any aquarium or zoo.
Coca Cola Factory- I really enjoyed exploring the coke factory with my in-laws! I'm not a big soda drinker, but I was on this day! They have a room with coke products from around the world that you can sample!! "Beverly" from Italy was about the most disgusting, horrible, bizarre one I tried. Do people really drink that in Italy?!? The "candied pine nut" drink from Uganda was so sugary and delicious! There were a lot of great flavors to try. I don't think I spent nearly enough time in this room on the tour. 
Atlanta Braves Game- This was a great night! My father-in-law enjoys a good baseball game and so do I! We ate generous hotdogs and followed them with deep fried funnel cake. Thats what you do in the south, right???!!!   ;)
