fage yogurt - new flavors!
I eat this yogurt almost every morning, so I’m excited to see it with 0% fat and some new flavors.
New flavors include: cherry pomegranate, blueberry acai, mango guanabana, & strawberry goji. Yum! I tried the strawberry goji this morning and it tasted like candy. Which sounds gross, but it worked really well with the yogurt.
If you’ve never had this brand of yogurt before, I...

local three
I thought I was kind of over the “upscale southern” food trend. But then I went to Local Three. Housed in the former Joel space, the owners have completely transformed the restaurant from a hall of European elegance to a modern barn with velvet Elvis portraits on the walls. The place is a bit hard to find, but was packed when I visited on a recent Friday night.

fox bros bbq
This is another review which is completely unnecessary. Fox Bros is an Atlanta institution, and my opinion is just a drop in the bucket. This is, however, hands down the best BBQ I’ve had in Atlanta. (Sorry Community Q, you’ve been bumped).
No pretense here, it’s an old-school BBQ joint, complete with a smoke shack out front. The casual vibe and extensive menu of bbq classics...

ale yeah!
Ale Yeah! is a new craft beer store in Decatur. I stopped by last week to check it out, and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a small space, so they don’t have the selection or variety that Hop City provides, but I don’t have to drive across town to get great beer anymore. (Don’t worry Hop City, I still love you.)
The beer is arranged on high, narrow shelves along the sides...
