Birthdays have always been one of my favorite "holidays." In my family, birthdays last the week, and the best part? Birthdays are the best excuse to eat good food.
Last month, it was my sister Leslie's birthday, and we went to the ATL. We ate at a cool restaurant where the guacamole was to die for. And they dress up the plates beautifully. My friend ordered a Greek salad and it was a work of art. Did you know that Greek salad isn't supposed to come with lettuce? It's just tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and other things we would consider "toppings." Her salad was "accurately Greek", those people know what's what.
That night we decided to get cheesecake at the Cheesecake factory as well. Why not? It was her birthday! We also got lost, ahem, explored the Atlanta area, in the process, but we kept going anyways, it was her birthday! .....It was worth it, we each loved our piece. Mine was Chris' Outrageous Chessecake. I'll let them explain..."A Cheesecake Factory Original - Layers of Moist Chocolate Cake, Chewy Brownie, Toasted Coconut-Pecan Frosting and Creamy Chocolate Chip Coconut Cheesecake." I know right? It was PERFECTION. Chocolate, Nuts, and Cocunut compliment each other so well, and happen to be one of my favorite combinations.
no, that's not us, it's them
You might be thinking, "wow, she's a little crazy" but let me assure, I don't always get lost for half an hour just to find cheesecake... sometimes delicious things come to me.
Monday was my older sisters birthday and we went to The Flying Biscuit. If you've never been there, well... it's hard to explain. It's the weirdest place I have ever been. The have a very southern looking restaurant with the most diverse menu I've ever seen. And I don't mean diverse in a good way, I mean a weird way. It's like the owner decided what he likes to eat and that's exactly what they serve. The service is terrible, I'd give them 2... maybe. Lazy, that's what I think of when I go there. They could be so much better.
Why do I go back there you ask? Because the food is freakin' amazing.
Excuse my language. Everything I've ever tried there has been delicious. The menu fits me perfectly. Weird but tasty. This time I had a wrap. I didn't expect much, but boy was I surprised. It had Chicken, apple wood bacon, honey Dijon mustard, walnuts, Baby greens, Tomatoes, onions, and a few other seasonings or sauces. It was incredible. Then to top it off, Meylin (older sister) brought her own cake. It was the extremely chocolatey with a touch of strawberry kind. All three of us consider that our favorite kind of cake. It was made from scratch by a super cool cake lady meylin has befriended and I have gotten to know and love through various birthday and party desserts. (she made a T.A.R.D.I.S cake for my brother in law's birthday. Need I say more? Fantastic.)
Like I said, occasionally good food comes to me too.
