Taste of Atlanta


Atlanta's Premier Food Festival

We attended the annual Taste of Atlanta food festival yesterday, this was our third year of tasting. A day of food tasting to sample and experience many of Atlanta's favorite restaurants and chefs. A general admission ticket includes 10 taste coupons to use throughout the event. Most tastings require 2 or 3 coupons, and more tasting coupons can be purchased if needed. VIP ticket purchase includes 15 tasting coupons and provides extras such as, attending hands on cooking classes from top chefs and enjoyment of the Wine, Beer,and Cocktail Experience. There are also some freebie tastes, samples and giveaways too!

Located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta on 5th Street and Spring Street, which are blocked off from regular traffic and allowing only foot traffic.  There are taste booths set up along the streets in front of the businesses and restaurants which are also opened and some have a booth participating.

This event packs a crowd of lots of interesting people, and I must mention that there are also some in various types of dress that provoke thoughts as in, "Oh no she didn't!{gasp!}" and "Oh my, what is he wearing?", and also "There's no way she looked in the mirror before she left the house in that, or did she?" I should have taken a few photos of some of them to share here, my goodness me! All of the sights, sounds, tastes and smells have some senses on overload in more ways than one! All adding to the experience of what has always been a fun day for us!


A few items from the event.
Green Mountain Coffee gave out free samples of coffee with hot and iced coffee cups!   A couple of my favorite restaurants to remember were, The Tin Drum-asia cafe, which had some delicious Crab N Cheese Spring Rolls and Cafe Intermezzo had many delicious dessert treats!   I certainly plan to return and dine at these restaurants in the future. 


I've had a Taste of Atlanta!...
