Originality seems to be a thing of the past, especially in 2017. Nowadays innovations come few and far in between. Everything is often watered down or rebooted and repackaged. Just check out the plethora of nineties sitcom revivals! Thus when it comes to something new–and edible–we are always down for trying it out.

Prepare to get your eat–and drink on (sort of)–with Lit Ass Wings!

Lit Ass Wings is a poppin’ new wing company from the Metro Atlanta area that specializes in–and you’re going to love this–alcohol infused chicken wings!

Immediately you might think of “chicken and beer,” but you would as wrong as these wings are lit! Lit Ass Wings, however, are made from a combination of actual liquors, spices, and sauces that give the meat a tasty, but liquored flavoring! The wings come in a number of flavors; Hennessy Barbecue, Sweet Chilli Patron, Honey Jack Daniels’ Tennessee Whiskey Barbecue, Bacardi Heat, 1800 Degrees, Crown Royal Applewood Barbecue, and Hawaiian Pineapple Ciroc! YUM! Each order is served with side of potato wedges, or when in demand specialty macaroni and cheese! Darryl delivered us some Hennessy Barbecue and Sweet Chilli Patron Wings earlier this week. All we can say is we are now avid customers!

Foodie Friday: Dining Out For Thanksgiving 2016!

Highlighting Where You Can Eat Out for Thanksgiving This Year

Happy Friday Foodies! As I’m sure you’re aware, Thanksgiving is less than a week away and everyone, self-proclaimed foodie or not, is ready to get their stomachs full and enjoy time with their friends and family. Though it’s tradition to cook homemade delectables during this holiday, not everyone has their feast at home.

CNN reported that according to the National Restaurant Association (NRA), about 15 million Americans eat out for the biggest meal of the year and that’s not including the additional four million people who opt for take out or our beloved fast food foodies who pig out at places such as KFC and McDonalds. In total, we’re looking at roughly 20 million or more Americans who don’t have Thanksgiving dinner at grandma’s house. So if you or someone you know is apart of that number and are unsure of where to go, below is a list of places open for business this Thanksgiving.

The roasted turkey entree is accompanied by sausage, sage and brioche stuffing, pommes purees with turkey jus and cranberry-orange compote; or, go non-traditional with a whole roasted branzino of beef prime rib. Sweets include a chocolate pot de creme and the restaurant’s special tarte tatin for two, with tangy creme fraiche.
