The weekend is watching <em>Itself at Bernie’s</em>.
This week, we’re sending you on the ultimate three-day truffle bender—replete with a dog-guided hunt and insane levels of truffle consumption—at the finest resort in Tennessee. Plus, we’re hooking you up with custom iPhone cases (designed by you) and delivering mind-blowing coffee to your doorstep every two weeks.
You know Via. That semi-clubby, semi-loungey spot in Buckhead that used to be fun. Well, it’s gone now. In its stead, a new Turkish restaurant/lounge (they kept the look intact) doling out all manner of lamb kebabs, baba ghanoush and Arnavut Cigeri... it’s calf’s liver sautéed in herbs. Pregame calf’s liver. Do it.
There’s a new bar opening in Kirkwood tomorrow. But they’ve also recruited the chef from Radial Café, which means you’ll be privy to things like late-night gnocchi with pesto cream, and fish and grits to go along with your Rule G (amaretto, bourbon, ginger ale...) and Jailhouse pints. If you’re into food, that is.
There’s this big football game coming up. “Super” something or other. Anyway, in case you’re planning on eating things during that game, you may be interested to hear that Bad Dog Taqueria now delivers. As in, the whole menu. Yucca fries and plantain-encrusted chicken are to football as... never mind.
Escorpion is a restaurant. Granted, there’s a lot of tequila there. But still... restaurant. So if you happen to drop by this Saturday, you may find yourself a bit confused. Because that’s when they’re basically turning the whole place into a club—DJs, dancing, live music. Again, there’s a lot of tequila there.
Sun in My Belly. Great brunch spot. And while it’s certainly seen you through your fair share of mornings-after, interesting tidbit: they serve dinner now. You can still get breakfast all night, but you can also get fried chicken with mac and cheese, coconut-braised mussels and, of course, meat loaf. Of course.
