How this started.

A little background on how this blog got started. It's a simple story, two sisters on an adventure called life. My sister Shawna & I had been living in New Orleans and like most New Orleanians became quite passionate about our food. One of the great things about local restaurants besides the obvious yumminess and being great for a community,  is the window the restaurant gives you into the neighborhood in which it represents. If you pay attention you will learn the good, the bad and the ugly in addition to getting a great meal.

About two months ago my sister & I started a new chapter in the book of life. Shawna got a kick butt career opportunity in Atlanta, GA. So with a slightly heavy heart to leave New Orleans- a city who embraced us as much as we embraced it we packed up the cars and headed back to the East Coast. About a month into this new city, I was desperately missing my Big Easy way of life, somewhere around week 6 we got the November issue of Southern Living and things started looking up.

In the November 2010 issue of Southern Living there's an article titled: "20 Places Everyone Should Eat in Atlanta" Over a bottle of wine, Shawna proposed a new idea to combine our love for discovery and food. So we pulled the magazine article out, posted it on the fridge and decided we would hit all 20 recommended spots, and at least one of us would order what was suggested in the article. Having a lot of informal foodie friends, Shawna shared this idea on her FB status and received great response and lots of requests to keep people posted on our findings. So we decided to do what all the cool kids are doing these days and blog about our experiences. And so our blog is born! We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we are going to enjoy doing it!!!

If your ever in Atlanta, let us know we'll make you our "spotlight" guest at one of the 20! And if you have any recommendations, let us know. Until the next blog.

Bon Appetit Y'all!!!
