How to Use A Knife – Ends Soon
How to Use A Knife – Ends Soon In the chaotic hustle and bustle of a Wall Street restaurant, Chef George gets a fresh start when he takes over this melting-pot-of-a-kitchen. Two rowdy Guatemalan line cooks, a wet-behind-the-ears busboy, and a reserved African dishwasher serve up drama nightly. But the heat really turns up when immigration sneaks in, looking for a wanted man. This is one of Horizon Theatre’s best plays and I say that because it was thought provoking while still being pretty funny. Now there was some spicy language that may make some cringe, but sometimes some words get the point across a lot better than others:) Like…

Varuni Napoli Opens in Krog Street Market
Varuni Napoli Opens in Krog Street Market On a beautiful day in Atlanta, I was given the opportunity to attend a media night preview for a wonderful restaurant opening, Varuni Napoli in Krogs Street Market thanks to Culinary Local. My guest and I were not paid, but were able to try various menu items for free in exchange for our honest and unbiased reviews. Most of my life I have wanted to go to Italy and eat my way around the area, but due to it being so expensive, we will have to save up a little more before I can get there. In the meantime, I jumped at the…

After attending the GF & AF Expo in Atlanta last year, I fell in love with Sprouts Farmers Market and I have been to their website and have bugged some of their staff to open a store in my area, but to date they haven’t:(They will though. I refuse to be denied:) In the meanwhile, if I am near the closest store in my area, I try to stop by. Recently, after becoming…

My Man’s Essentials
After just getting back from visiting family and taking care of some business, we found that packing in a hurry for trips is not where it’s at. Trust me, if you do not, you will leave something behind. Totally should pack ahead of time and I will say kudos to those of you who pack ahead of time and make lists. My mommy makes list all of the time and honestly, I have made fun of it in my head until this last trip. It certainly would have come in handy this time. As some of you know when flying Spirit you have to pack lite and they mean it…

I met Chef Greg and the representative from Cliffhanger Wines and they both are/were a wealth of information. Chef…
