Hudson Grille is a high-end sports bar with three spots around the ATL. As of this past week, they have added a 4th with their new venture in Midtown Atlanta. Located in the former Artistry location, you’ll find them trying to be the Burger King to the McDonald’s that is Taco Mac. That is, much like every fast food chain, they have moved in right on top of their competition. HG Midtown sits directly across the street from Taco Mac’s Metropolis location. There ya have it!

Today, MTV ran a bit piece on hip-hop’s ultra cool Big Boi. In the article, Georgia native Antwan André Patton (a.k.a. Big Boi) talks, albeit briefly, about where he likes to eat around ATL. He named only one spot:
“[We] do a little bit of everything," Big said. "R. Thomas is this nice little joint on Peachtree — 24-hour health-food joint, organic," he explained.
Mister Patton also mentioned how he loves to shop and visit uh… adult places… in around town.
Nice to see an Atlanta institution like R Thomas get some love. As Big Boi mentioned, this little Brookwood Hills restaurant offers up a pretty diverse sampling of health conscious cuisine. I myself have an affinity for their deluxe chips and their breakfast options. Everything on the menu is available 24-7 and is pretty solid. While they won’t win any culinary awards, R serves up a kitsch experience with consistent food. I kind of think of it as the yang to the ying of Dynamic Dish. Certainly worth a visit if you haven’t been there before.

Overall: 
So I promised the gang that I would give them their 15-minutes and include them in a review. So here you go guys and gals – this one is for you.
I was lucky enough to get an invite to the most exclusive of birthday celebrations! It was so tough to score that even Mandi was S.O.L.!!!! That’s saying something – she’s famous enough that she only needs one name!
Needless to say, I joined the lovely Elizabeth H (HAPPY B-DAY!!!!), magnanimous Ben O, inquisitive Chris & Leslie R (who I expect to read this entire review), and sexified Laura F, for brunch at Carroll Street Café this past Sunday. Now with that stuff out of the way, I will get on with the recapitulation.
