Imagine getting hired for a position in which you only have 3 weeks to learn everything you can and prepare for the one event that defines your job. Talk about pressure. Then talk to the awesome and easy-going Angel Brown Touwsma, the new director for Taste of Atlanta.
It’s hard to believe that we’re less than a month away from the 2nd Annual Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. The inaugural Atlanta Food & Wine Festival was the ultimate food festival litmus test. After attending several Aspen Food & Wine Festivals and asking themselves why Atlanta didn’t have its own, festival founders Dominique Love and Elizabeth Feichter were faced with the daunting task of creating a culinary event that would showcase and celebrate the food and beverage traditions of the South.
When the gang at Taste of Atlanta asks if you want a preview of what to expect at this year’s festival, the only thing we wanted to know was where to show up… and show up we did. With JCT Kitchen, RiRa, TukTuk and The Barrelhouse all on board to tease us, we discovered that after 10 years, Taste of Atlanta still has it.

Just in time for these wonderful autumnal temperatures, Inman Park Restaurant Week continues through September 25th. Take a stroll through historic Inman Park and stop at any one of the 14 participating restaurants, where you’ll enjoy a three-course, prix fixe menu. The week-long gourmet affair will feature some of Inman Park’s most popular restaurants including Fritti, Rathbun’s, Sotto Sotto, Wisteria, Il Localino, Kevin Rathbun Steak, One Eared Stag, Parish, Sauced, Park’s Edge, Pure Taqueria, The Albert, Victory Sandwich Bar, and North Highland Pub. Not only will you enjoy delectable fare, but part of the proceeds will benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank. In other words, you can’t lose.

Someone once said that appetizers are the little things you keep eating until you lose your appetite. And with the varied appetizers and small plates around town, it may very well be true. One can easily make an entire meal by sampling from the small plates on a menu. Read on for some of my personal favorites.
You see them all over the place – Virginia Highland, Midtown, Buckhead, Atlantic Station, Woodruff Arts Center. Food trucks are increasingly present, and hopefully even more so in the future. It all seemed to start with the King of Pop’s delicious, gourmet popsicles (and with flavors like chocolate sea salt, pineapple habanero, and tangerine basil, of course they’re popular); but now, food trucks are popping up all over the city and there’s no shortage of variety: Korean style tacos from the Yumbii truck, perfectly cooked fries with numerous toppings from The Fry Guy, Southern-inspired gelato flavors from Honeysuckle Gelato’s truck, every hot dog you can imagine from The Pup Truck, delicious Venezuelan stuffed, griddled corn cakes (called Arepas) from the WOW! Truck, and so much more.
