Atlanta Bound
You ever have one of those weeks when you just feel “off“? Well, that’s how this week has been for me. I’ve got a million things on my mind and having a lot of trouble focusing. It’s time for a mental break to reenergize.
Since she lives in Indiana, we only get to see each other a few times a year, and it’s very rare that just the two of us ever travel together. Actually, now that I think about it, our 2005 trip to NYC may have been the last time that happened….wow, how time flies.
When we came up with this Atlanta weekend plan a couple of months ago, I immediately made a reservation for Woodfire Grill, Chef Kevin Gillespie‘s hot spot. The “Fan Favorite” of Top Chef Season 6, Kevin had me salivating every week with his scrumptious looking dishes, so there was no way I would go to his city and NOT eat his food!
P.S. Just so there is no confusion, that is definitely NOT my sister pictured above…that’s Kevin.

If you guys are up for a burger at 9:30pm, try Holeman and Finch. They only serve 24 burgers every night at this time. I'm dying to try it! Have fun in ATL with your sis!! http://holeman-finch.com/burger.html
Holeman and Finch is definitely on my radar, and we might actually eat brunch there on Sunday– and from what I understand burgers are available then too! (as well as a limited amount for take out!!): http://blissfulglutton.com/holeman-finch-now-offe…
Have so much fun! I can't wait to hear about what all you guys do. It will give me something to do down here :) have fun!
I'll actually be in Atlanta this weekend, too – but drooling over Harry Connick, Jr. at Chastain Park instead of delicious cuisine. I have heard such great things about Flip Burger and Canoe – a close friend went to Canoe on her engagement night! Have fun and can't wait to read your reviews when you get back…
Yes, you can definitely get The Burger at H+F on Sunday brunch. Highly recommended — enjoy it with a dark & stormy. Love love love Tacqueria del Sol (as well as the others you've listed — a winning itinerary!).
Have a wonderful time with your sister…mine was just here from CT. for 12 days and we had a great time. I LOVE Kevin…lucky you to go to his restaurant, have a blast!
My friends who got to go to Woodfire Grill LOVED it. They had to go at 11pm because it was a Friday night, but they said it was worth it. Definitely get the tasting menu.
And if you have lunch at Flip, be sure to get there around 11:30 so you don't have to wait too long for a table! Very worth it. Save room for side dishes!
We used to live in Atlanta…& have so many favorites there (incl Canoe). It's hard for us to pick where we want to go when we make weekend trips back to visit!! If you find yourself in/near Decatur (cute area! and a Taqueria del Sol there too), be sure to go to Leon's Filling Station and order the warm chickpea salad. Chickpeas, provolone, & cherries = heaven in a bowl. It makes our list EVERY trip. Have a wonderful time with your sister!!
You and Mechelle have a GREAT time and stay out of trouble !! :-) We'll all be waiting for your reviews…
