We all know that Sublime Doughnuts is the bestest doughnut shop in the ATL! Now, thanks to the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim team … the whole world knows it! WITNESS:
Oh yeah … Bakeshop has left Concentrics Restaurants! Don’t believe me? Well, I said it on twitter, so it must be true!
One of the strange little developments of these here internets is the propensity for print content to show up online before it shows up in the stores. Next month’s issue of Food & Wine Magazine is no exception. It features a little ditty on boutique outfits that pump out good grub. Two Atlantans are featured, and as chance would have it, both are gunning for your sweet tooth.
Kristen hard of Cacao Atlanta showed up to talk about all things chocolate. You can check out her delectables on the Cacao Atlanta website. In addition, Kamal Grant, the bane of Homer Simpson’s existence, was featured and chatted up his amazingly awesomely delicious Sublime Doughnuts.
Dear Kristen and Kamal, I’m kind of mad at you making it hard for me to continue my “I don’t like sweets” stance.
Doesn’t that doughnut look good? It’s a Reese’s doughnut from Sublime Doughnuts in Midtown. Now Sublime looks as good on paper (or in this case … the computer screen) as it does in person. You see, I got a nice little surprise when I dropped in on the Sublime Doughnuts website just a few minutes ago. Turns out, it got a big facelift and is now all nice and snazzy. Regardless of who your favorite doughnut maker in metro Atlanta happens to be, Kamal Grant’s place is always in the discussion. So take a gander at his food porn, and then go get one (or two, or three, or two dozen) for yourself. For all you digital fiends, it looks like Kamal is updating the Sublime twitter page with some frequency. Video time:

In today’s edition of the NYT, Shaila Dewan decided to talk up the burgeoning art scene on the west side of Atlanta. Despite a few journalistic faux pas, it’s a nice summary piece on the neighborhood. What’s especially neat for us foodies is that Dewan took the time to point out some of the ‘hoods culinary adventures that have garnered so much attention locally.
In the spirit of the article, I must say that if forced to identify the in-town neighborhood with the most action, it would undoubtedly be the Westside. Centered around the intersection of 14th street and Howell Mill, you’ll find casual eateries, upscale dining options, and several of Atlanta’s hottest new restaurants. The article draws special attention to Octane, Flip Burger Boutique, Abattoir, Hop City Beer, and Sublime Doughnuts (with a nice quote from owner Kamal Grant).
The article is really just the tip of the iceberg. If you intend to spend anytime over in that neck of the woods, then you’ll also find the highly regarded Antico Pizza, sandwich shop Tiny Bistro, and popular breakfast spots like The West Egg and The Silver Skillet. And that list is far from exhaustive.
So if you’re a bit of a homebody and looking for something new … take some of your free time and donate it to the Westside.
