Today is a busy day for me, so I don’t have time to pen a review.  However, that doesn’t mean I’m completely disconnected from what’s going down in the 404 (or 770 … or even the 678).  Here is a snap shot of some stuff that I’m checking out.

30 Restaurants In 30 Days: Much to the delight of foodies around the city, John Kessler is pumping out some new content.  The AJC’s food blogger extraordinaire is currently hitting 30 restaurants in 30 days.  He’s already dropped in on La Pietra Cucina, Mary Mac’s Tea Room, and a few other places.  You can follow the action over on the Food & More blog.

Hardy Gets A Visit: Top Chef contestants and Atlanta chefs Eli Kirshtein and Kevin Gillespie took a trip out to Healdsburg, CA to visit the Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent (no really, that’s the title!).  That just happens to be Atlanta superstar Hardy Wallace.  You can find details of the event over on the trueslant.com blog.

Martha Stewart Charity Dinner: I may be the only person in this world that doesn’t have a soft-spot for Martha Stewart.  That said, this is pretty cool.  You can bid on the Martha Stewart Dinner Party (currently just shy of 3k).  It includes a gourmet dinner for six at Cantitoe Farm prepared by Pierre Schaedelin, chef at famed Benoit and one of Martha’s favorites.

Eat, Drink, & Reminisce – EDM Style

Posted by foodiebuddha on June 18, 2009

Eat, Drink, Man is an Atlanta blogger dude who has been around longer than I have (me: Dec, 2008 – him: July 2008).  He puts up lots of great content but today’s post was of particular interest.  In a tip of the hat to Anthony Bourdain, EDM reminisces about some of the dinosaurs of the Atlanta restaurant scene.  Funny thing is, I’m hitting three of these joints in the next four days.  As I am a dinosaur of the city myself, it’s nice to see a tip of the hat to the old guard.
