Dine & Discover returned this month and it was a beautiful evening of food, wine and conversation 🍾

Selfishly, I admit that I coordinated this one because I wanted to treat myself to a private dinner with Zach Meloy as a belated birthday treat. I'm just glad that there were other folks who wanted to indulge in a Dirt Church Ceramics dinner with me!

Zach is always bringing something fresh (literally from his garden), fun, and delicious to the table. And his ceramics just make for even more of an artistic presentation. I'm so grateful to everyone who joined in on this experience and for Chef for just genuinely being a pretty rad human being. Your hospitality is always appreciated.

Wine was provided as part of the experience but I couldn't help bringing a couple of bottles as an extra treat. I also always like to leave my guests with a little sumtin sumtin so I gifted them basil salt made with basil I grew myself. 💖

Dine & Discover is all about joyful exploration and connection while supporting local restaurants and chefs. Next up is a Lee + White experience of Bovino After Dark x Sakura Sake Bar in September. This is going to be a fun one. As always, BBV Community got first dibs but we have a few seats left so DM me for details!

I braced myself to be disappointed with this burger 🍔

I flew into Chicago and was starving. After checking into the InterContinental Chicago Hotel I knew that I wanted to grab lunch but also knew that I wanted to relax in my room before having to jump into work related events.

I decided to give Michael Jordan's Steak House - Chicago since it was right off of the hotel lobby. I wasn't quite ready to people yet so I ordered takeout. Now I usually don't order a burger unless I'm at a burger joint but I decided to give theirs a try. I got the Steakhouse Burger (blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib) with bacon and mushrooms. I didn't get my hopes up so if it wasn't great I wouldn't be as upset 😅

Folks- I thought the burger was great. The beef patty was thick and juicy and not dense. The mushrooms were a medley of roasted wild mushrooms which really set the burger off. It came with fries which were tasty. I didn't finish them but definitely demolished the burger.

Overall this was surprisingly satisfying considering I was being lazy ans antisocial which limited my options. 😆

Sargent is now open in O4W...
And if you don't know, now you know! 😄

I meant to post this a few days ago but back-to-back work trips had me a wee bit preoccupied. As I find myself saying more often lately then I'd like to admit, better late than never.

The team behind one of my favorite wine-focused restaurants in Buckhead (Lucian ) have brought this sister restaurant to Old Fourth Ward right off the Beltline. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of getting one of the first sneak peaks of the space, and it was absolutely gorgeous. There will be some similarities to Lucian but you can expect a different vibe overall.

Wine will still be a big focus with offerings by the bottle and glass, you can expect to see more spirits in the form of classic cocktails, and the food menu will be more expansive and more traditionally structured.

If you've been following me for awhile then you know I have a Lucian crew that is now super excited to experience Sargent. Reservations opened up this past Tuesday so snag some time to check them out for lunch or dinner.

Cheers to the freakin' weekend 🍶🌸

If you're looking for a fun spot to check out this weekend, Sakura Sake Bar & Bottles would be a good move.

Tucked inside Lee + White Food Hall, this Japanese cocktail bar specializes in sake, sake-forward cocktails, and tastings that make exploring sake feel fun. Come curious, tell Nico Julia and the bar team what you like, and let them guide you to your perfect pour.

Need Saturday night plans? I got you covered! 🥂

For the month of August Under Pressure Wine Bar is popping up at Bar | Avize . Enjoy a wonderful selection of wines selected by Juan Fernando Cortés and Adam M Berlin along with special dishes curated by Karl S. Gorline Jr. . All while grooving to the sounds of capt mudfish

Pro tip: get the champagne flight with caviar chicken nuggets. You won't regret it. But, honestly, you wont regret anything in this menu. It's definitely a treat and worthy of occupying a couple of hours of your Saturday night.

Attended my 1st Crab Trap & Tap 🦀🍺

And it won't be my last! Wild Heaven Beer sure knows how to throw a good crab feast. The star was fresh and perfectly seasoned Maryland blue crab from Harbour House Crabs. There were bibs and mallets but I definitely came ready to get my hands dirty. I only ate 6 but could have easily doubled that. 😄

There was also a separate buffet line wirh jerk chicken and fixins from Eats at Wild Heaven West Endand of course beer and cocktails at the bar. Truly not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon in August, if you ask me.

What do you do with leftover catfish? 🤔

You could just reheat it but where is the fun in that? I made Catfish & Grits. I whipped up some savory Marsh Hen Mill speckled grits, a Creole sauce (you'd never know I snuck some diced zucchini in there), and air fried okra to make this a hearty and satisfying brunch dish.

Just over here reminding myself that I can still do a lil sumtin sumtin in the kitchen when I am not being completely lazy. 😆

Assorted July moments, because apparently I was outside a little bit. 🙃

July, you were... definitely a month. Heading into August with lighter energy. ☀️

Summer on a plate ☀️

MealorFamilyGardens heirloom tomatoes, Georgia Peach Truck peaches, marscapone, fresh basil that I grew myself and peach vinaigrette using Fresh Press Farms peach cider vinegar.

No notes. I did that! *brushes off shoulder*
