52 Weeks of Drinks: Week 5 - Serpas

Date January 31, 2010

We spent a cold and rainy Friday night dining at the bar at Serpas.  We were joined by two wonderful ladies who have been following our 52 Weeks of Drinks postings and wanted to join the fun - Doreen & Michele.  If you have never been to Serpas - you must geaux.  Serpas is in […]

52 Weeks of Drinks: Week 4 - Sauced

Date January 23, 2010

No - we didn’t get sauced, we just went to Sauced - the restaurant.  Come on people -despite the cocktail tasting theme, we are not getting trashed for the cause.  Sauced is the hip new place to be on our side of town - Inman Park on the edge of Cabbagetown.  Brought to you by […]

52 Weeks of Drinks: Week 3 -Mezcalito’s Cantina

Date January 18, 2010

This week we stayed close to home and wandered down to Mezcalto’s Cantina in Oakhurst Square for our weekly cocktail.  A meal at Mezcalito’s is already a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) ritual for us.  Ok - we once at two meals in one day there - it is a problem.  We were not always fans of the […]

52 Weeks of Drinks: Week 1 - Wisteria

Date January 2, 2010

Wisteria did not disappoint as a first destination for 52 Weeks of Drinks.  This is one of our favorite restaurants - we love the snotty southern cuisine, the atmosphere and the people who work here including Jason (the chef/owner), Katie (manager/hot hostess), Vivianne (our former waitress turned nurse), and Patricia (multipurpose player).
Hadi (bartender & more) […]

52 Weeks of Drinks - Kicking off 2010 With A Mission

Date January 1, 2010

After watching Julie and Julia over Christmas, we decided Random Atlanta needed a mission for 2010.  But not something as ambitious as cooking 524 French cuisine recipes in one year - we have day jobs and waistlines to preserve.   We decided to pick a mission that required less effort and had an Atlanta connection.
