Yo! It’s been a while since I’ve done an All Over the Palate, but you’re just gonna have to wait cause I have a few things I want to mention to keep you updated on some ATL happenings:
First, it’s Midtown Atlanta Shop and Dine Week, Nov 14-21. There are “fine dining” and “casual dining” meals for $25 at a ton of places, including Ecco, The Original El Taco, Cuerno, and ONE Midtown Kitchen. It’s a good opportunity to try some new shiz-uff (stuff that is tha shizz – yeah, I said it).
Next up, I just found out about Toscano & Sons and am super stoked about it. I plan on going there for a panini lunch today, and also to pick up some imported mozzarella for some pizza later today. Pictures to follow. Oh yeah, and it’s also only 3 miles from my house.
Looking for a wine tasting this week? Check out the V2 Wine Room this Wednesday. They are featuring 7 Thanksgiving wines, ranging in price from $15 to $40. The tasting is $20 per person. RSVP required call 770-226-0099.
Did you know that Joel is now featuring a Bistro lunch? They are featuring a soup, salad, sandwich, or pasta, all of which are available for $10 or less. If you’ve wanted to eat at Joel without taking out a 2nd mortgage, check it out. The Croque Monsieur with a green salad or french fries for $9 would be my first choice. Read the full Bistro menu here.
Have you checked out the Dirty South Wine blog? If not, do it, it’s very cool. DSW has recently challenged numerous restaurants around Atlanta to create the best single wine/food offering for under $25. The offerings will be judged soon and the first 5 pairings have been submitted by Dogwood, Toulouse, La Tavola, Repast, and Woodfire Grill. Check out the full rules and offerings here.
Lastly, I am going to see M83 and School of Seven Bells tonight at The Earl. It’s sold out, so too bad you can’t buy a ticket today. If you are already going, see you there. I plan on going out for dinner in East Atlanta Village and getting my drink on. I will be live blogging the show and updating via twitter. Just kidding. Maybe.
