Saturday…
With a full day of classes, tents and dinners, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few things. Here are highlights from some of our favorites.

Opa! A little Meze to start the weekend off right…
Dinner Sunday night came around. There were no tents. There were no classes. There were no throw downs. Suffice it to say, it was a sad Sunday night. The Atlanta Food & Wine festival left us as quickly as it came – but the experience, the tastes, the sights and sounds – those will be enough to carry us through to next year. With that, this 4 part series recap will take you down memory lane, with the last series featuring a special video tribute to the festival – 3 incredible days in 3 minutes. Here’s to Dominque Love and Elizabeth Feichter for bringing this festival into our lives and showing the world yet again that the Southeast has some of the best culinary offerings in the country. Salud!
Meat Week Series Continues April 22-28 with ‘Beef Week’
“What is it with this city? I need to write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce.” – Gil Pender in Midnight in Paris
I first learned of “The Meat Week Boucherie Dinner” series when it launched back in February with ‘Wild Game Week’. It turns out, this was a returning series of four-course dinners featuring whole-animal cookery. Intrigued, I waited for the launch of ‘Veal Week’ in late March to see what it was all about. Plus, any excuse for me to enjoy BLT’s famed popovers is always a good idea.

A good slice of ‘za is hard to come by…
You’ve heard it all before. There are two things that can’t be recreated outside of New York City – Pizza and Bagels. As a native New Yorker, I’d be inclined to agree. Some claim it’s the water that makes all the difference. Some claim it’s just because you’re outside New York City. There are many compelling arguments, clearly. But, what if I were to tell you that you could get a good slice of New York style pizza right here in the A? It’s true, and it was found at the most random place too, Il Bacio Pizzeria &Trattoria.

Is it May 2012 yet?
All of us here at eat. drink. repeat. had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, and hope our readers did too. One of us celebrated a birthday, one of us got engaged, and one of us went to quite possibly the best backyard BBQ of their lives (hint: click for the answers). But collectively, we were all disappointed by one realization: there would be no groundhog’s day repeat this weekend. The Atlanta Food & Wine festival had come and gone. Read on for our ode to AF&WF and why you should definitely make plans to be there next year…

Hey good lookin’… come here often?
When the new local “watering hole” opens, people typically head down to have a drink and check it out when they get around to it. If you’re Chef Ron Eyester (of Rosebud fame) & partner Jason Chenette, then that simply won’t do. Enter The Family Dog, the newest addition to the Morningside family offering patrons a cozy eatery complete with creative farm-to-table cuisine and devilishly good libations.
The burger is still alive and well…
So who out there is bored with the enduring burger movement in Atlanta? No one? Cool, me either. Especially when you can enjoy an intepretation that will restore your faith in what a real burger should be.
