Close your eyes. And no peeking! We’re going to our happy place. Now imagine yourself relaxing on a porch, glass of freshly squeezed lemonade in hand, no worries in the world, just watching the day go by. Great feeling isn’t it? With summer looming right around the corner, you’re going to want to experience this feeling every single day.

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…
Everyone has been through the pain of a breakup, and we all cope in different ways. I like to cut back on drinking, get plenty of sleep and eat healthy. (And if you believe that, then you don’t know me at all.) Many things can ease a broken heart, but surely we can all agree that booze and sugar help.

Which means *gulp* I sometimes have to venture outside of work, with the iPhone GPS at the ready, to find lunch-worthy food. I didn’t believe it could be possible, I am OTP of course. But much to my chagrin, I owe OTP a huge apology. Turns out, you guys know what’s up. So over the next few weeks, you’ll find a great mix of OTP dining options worthy of the $0.50 toll on 400 (seriously). First up, the Japanese hidden treasure, Bishoku Japanese Restaurant…
For 35 years the Atlanta Film Festival has been a mainstay institution for film buffs, auteurs, and casual moviegoers alike. Keeping the tradition alive of bringing the hard work of independent filmmakers to the forefront, the festival kicks off April 28th – May 7th.
The only thing soft about Grindhouse’s soft opening on Monday night, was that creamy pimento cheese…because everything else was hardcore. They really do make a killer burger. Oh, and that pimento cheese — it’s perfect — the right texture of cheese, small chunks of peppers, the perfect amount of spice, and still creamy and gooey.
