January 4, 2017

One could say it’s always a feeding frenzy at Atlanta Eats’ HQ, but to us, it’s just another hard day at work. We’re showcasing the best things we ate last week to give you some food inspiration for the week ahead. Check out AtlantaEatsTV on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for a constant stream of food porn if this post doesn’t quite cure your fix.

Eggplant Parmagiana from Alessandros (Canton)

Nestled up in Canton, Alessandro’s has made a name for itself with its top-notch Italian cuisine. The Eggplant Parmagiana takes the cake when it comes to a classic Italian dish. Doused in melted parmesan cheese and marinara & decorated with garden herbs and basil, this plate will make you forget all you’re not eating chicken or veal.

Garlic Rolls from Ippolitos (Roswell, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Norcross, Suwanee & Woodstock)

These babies are a fantastic indulgence and included with both lunch and dinner. Rolls are made fresh daily with a drizzle of garlic oil, zesty romano cheese & sprinkles of parsley. You can even order a half-dozen or a dozen if you’re up for it!

Prime New York Strip from C&S Seafood (Vinings)

Although it’s pretty easy to find a good steak in Atlanta, it can be hard to find a great one. C&S Seafood’s Prime NY Strip is a 12 oz cut with a rich marinade that decorates the plate. You can pair this beauty with vichy carrots, harricot verts (which is French for green beans) or parmesan-truffle fries. Yea…it won’t be easy to pick a sidekick to go with this superhero!
