Meet the Foodies

I’ve always loved to try new foods, learn about new customs and cultures, and meet new people from around the world. It all starts with my childhood, growing up in a family that is its own little melting pot—a zesty mix of Mexican, Texan, Sudanese, Russian, and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. As you might imagine, offerings … Continue reading →

Earth Fare Comes to Atlanta

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you let your child run freely through the supermarket stocking his or her cart with whatever piqued their interest and taste buds? I have experimented with this on a couple of occasions. The most recent trip was through a big box grocer to shop for a … Continue reading →

AIS’ Worldfest: Atlanta’s best food festival is a school fair?!?

If you are looking for one of the best food festivals in town, look not further than Atlanta International School’s Worldfest. Yes, I’m not joking. While throngs of people pay beaucoup bucks for small plates from different Atlanta restaurants at such festivals like Taste of Atlanta and Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, I look forward … Continue reading →

BB’s Bagels: Worth the Schlep

Weekends equal bagels in our book (call us old school for still eating carbs and gluten), but Atlanta definitely has a shortage of authentic New York-style belly bombs.

Setting a Higher Bar for our Children at True Food Kitchen

Restaurants need to be held to a higher standard of food quality for both children and their parents. I believe True Food Kitchen, which recently opened at Lenox Mall in Buckhead, is setting a very high bar. Hopefully, more will follow in its footsteps. Continue reading →

“In Hungry, Out Happy” at Local Three Brunch

They definitely deliver on their promise. I was hesitant to take Little A for brunch as his more then boisterous personality of late has turned many a heads. … Continue reading →

Redder is Better at Southern Belle Farm

Nothing says the beginning of summer like berry stained fingers and lips. So now that school is coming to an end, head down South to McDonough for a fun-filled afternoon of strawberry picking at Southern Belle Farm. My Little Foodies took delight in roaming the fields eating their weight in strawberries that u-pick for $12 … Continue reading →

Power Lunch at Tomo

On days off from school, my daughter loves a good power lunch. Today, among big ad execs and venture capitalists, Big A dined with her attorney (okay Daddy). I just came along for the ride. While it’s not the cheapest kids meal in town, it’s a steal for the adults. Besides, Big A’s attorney picked up the tab for his most important client. Continue reading →

Danger, Danger: 10 Moments When You Should Bail from a Restaurant with Your Kids

A few weeks ago was one of our worst dining moments as parents. Not even ten minutes into our meal, a man approached our table to inform us that he was on a “nice date” and although he “didn’t know how to say this” he thought “perhaps our kids would be better off eating at … Continue reading →
