Grilled Asparagus Salad from Common Quarter (Marietta)

Marietta has made its way into the Atlanta food scene with its growing list of high-end restaurants. Common Quarter is one of those superb places that you would feel totally confident meeting the parents of your significant other. The airy, contemporary atmosphere is always inviting and has great food to compliment the ambiance. The Grilled Asparagus Salad is a great staple for guests. Topped with a fried green tomato, freshly-grated parmesan & crunchy bacon bits, you can feel like you’re being healthy and bingeing all at once!

Chicken 65 from Bhojanic (Buckhead)

It’s easier said than done to bring authentic Indian cuisine to the table. Chef Archna Becker has a collection of awards for her out of this world Indian dishes & we have just the one for you. The Chicken 65 is a great plate, especially if you enjoy a spicy kick on your palate. A bright red curry sauce covers a plentiful portion of marinated chicken. A dash and a sprinkle of house-made Indian spices are also added to complete the plate.

Cereal Milk Croquetas from Cooks and Soldiers (West Midtown)

Looking for luxury? Cruise down Howell Mill Road and swing into Cooks and Soldiers. Defined by luxe, this top-shelf restaurant makes for the perfect meal for any fancy occasion. We always suggest making reservations, especially during the holidays. If your sweet tooth is feeling rebellious, make sure you order the Cereal Milk Croquetas. These babies are quietly calling your name and surrounded by similarly delicious cereal bites. Golden and flash-fried to perfection, the Cereal Milk Croquetas can be one more item to cross off your foodie bucket list!
