Seeing as we're about to embark on our world travels in a mere 3 days, there's really a limited amount of things I could get The Dizz for his birthday. So, I bought him a new battery for his laptop {very romantic, I know} and I told him I would take him anywhere he wanted for din din.
He's never been to Georgia and wanted to have some good ol' Southern Cookin'. So I took him to South City Kitchen in Atlanta. It took him about 3 seconds to decide on the fried chicken.
Aaaannnddd now would be the part where I'd make an inappropriate joke about him being Black and liking fried chicken..........but, I'll refrain.
So anyway.
I'm really trying hard to be open-minded when it comes to new foods and not stick my nose up at foreign dishes. But when I took a look at the menu and saw "Shrimp & Mussels" and "Pan-Roasted Duck Breast," I panicked a little.
So we compromised.
I got the filet mignon {amazing} and then we ordered the fried green tomatoes so I could at least say I had something southern.
Verdict? Not bad. I ate an entire tomato. And knowing me, that's quite a feat, thankyouverymuch.
Hope ya'll are havin' yourselves a great Thursdee. <--- See? I'm basically a Southern Belle.

I love that you're willing to try new dishes and new experiences. I love that you're willing to embrace new and different cultures. Basically, I love you!
ReplyDeleteThat mac n cheese looked amazingggg
ReplyDeleteHa, your "Thursdee" cracked me up. I'm from a ridiculously Southern family {TN, born and raised} and my grandparents and dad still say Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee, etc. It's hilarious and adorable and mind-boggling to anyone not from 'round these parts :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. ~ Pack me in your suitcase. I want to travel the world!

ReplyDeleteI HATE tomatoes...but I will slam on fried green tomatoes. Lol weird I know, and I make some mean southern style baked mac and cheese...well my mom does and I totally steal her recipe.
ReplyDeleteSouthern food is the best!!! That's looks divine. I hope y'all enjoyed :)
ReplyDeleteThat's some fancy southern food!!! I probably missed this but why are y'all in Georgia?? 3 freaking days?!?! Can you believe it?
ReplyDeleteOh yummm making me hungry now. My last southern experience was in South Carolina and they brought out fried dough before dinner and I'm like um excuse me can we get some bread and EVOO/Balsamic over here? They don't really do that there. Bread must be fried.
ReplyDeleteEhhh. I can live without southern food but I love that you guys had an adventure.
ReplyDeleteLooks soooo delicious...
ReplyDeleteI need all of that food in my belly right now. Nom.
ReplyDeleteGirl you need to come to Louisiana!!! We have crawfish, boudin, gumbo, and everything else yummy and southern ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I had the same reaction when I went to a similar restaurant with some friends. The guys in the group convinced us girls to order some frog legs. As usual, I had my husband taste it first. I ate one just to say I did. Not bad, but I couldn't get past the whole Kermit thing.
ReplyDeleteI grew up on southern food....your pictures are making me hungry. Happy Thursdee doll!
ReplyDeleteSo hungry right now!
ReplyDeleteI owe my giant ass to all of this southern food haha! But I love it soooo much!! (the food and my ass that is). So glad you made it through an entire fried green tomato- proud of youuu!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say something cheesy? Okay, thanks. I feel so much more connect to you & the Dizzle just because y'all are visiting my home state. :) Hope you two are enjoying your stay in GA!
ReplyDeleteI woulda ordered the fried chicken too! Looks more like tenders though, haha. And good for you for trying the fried green tomatoes! I'm surprised you aren't more adventurous! Please try to be in a foreign land. Maybe don't ask what it is before eating it :D
ReplyDeleteThis all looks soooo good! I have always wanted to try fried green tomatoes!!
ReplyDeleteI had a fried green tomato grilled cheese out of a food truck a few months ago. Not bad at all. ;)
ReplyDeleteDuck is good! So are muscles! When you are in Spain, just eat all the tapas and you'll be happy. :)
Thursdee! Haha, that cracked me up! The lady that sits next to me at work talks just like that! Too funny! Sundee Mundee Tuesdee Wednesdee Thursdee Fridee Saturdee. I die.
ReplyDeletep.s. That sweater is awesome, and happy birthday Dizzle! :D
ReplyDeleteI don't like to branch out when it comes to food either. Pan Roasted Duck Breast? I'd rather eat french fries...thank you very much!!
