Headed home to ATL for the holidays in less than 24 hours. Itinerary: my daughter's first trip to @WaffleHouse; @TaqueriadelSol; what else?

Wouldn't be Xmas with mom's standing rib roast. She's been making it every year since 1977. Recipe from 1977 Bon Appetit

Hope the falcons game is as great as the hot chicken at holeman and finch. Yes, it can exist outside Nashville! Kudos to @chefhopkins & team

Tough game last night for this Georgia boy. Found solace in pizza from ATL's Antico today though. Awesome pie.[#image: /photos/57e162c2bf7e91497a10e08b]||||||
