The low-down on underground dining this week for greater Atlanta–ITP and OTP.
Sunday’s dinner plans just got cranked up a notch because Jackalope, Sugar + Air, and TKO are coming together to do a Fancy Meets Fusion menu at Southern Belle you don’t want to miss–full stop.
Come eat with Tony’s Chicago Beef for his 1 year anniversary and residency in EAV celebrations at Sceptre Brewing, carve out time to try Japanese Curry Chicken Baos (aka Curry-Mans, which were created after much begging from the PF team), and see the new line up/schedule at Punk Foodie @ Ponce.
