Brrr…. It’s cold outside! We’re only 11 days into January and I am already tired of this wintry weather. I’
ve decided to thaw my thoughts out and think about summer and all the fun food events that come along with it. My favorite is the
JCT. Kitchen & Bar "Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival"and although it’s still about eight months away (Sunday, August 8, 2010), some of Atlanta’s top chefs have already signed up to participate.
To date, the following chefs have signed on to brave the killer tomatoes:
Ford Fry of JCT. Kitchen & Bar; Kevin Gillespie of
Woodfire Grill (and "Top Chef
Las Vegas" fame!); Kevin
Rathbun of
Rathbun's,
Krog Bar and Kevin
Rathbun Steak; Anne
Quatrano of Abattoir, Bacchanalia and
Floataway Café; Gary
Mennie of Livingston; and
Carvel Grant Gould of Canoe.
JCT. Kitchen & Bar: In Atlanta's
Westside Urban Market at 1198 Howell Mill Road, Suite 18; 404-355-2252.
Dating is hard enough in Atlanta without knowing where to go to make it both a special night and a fun time for all parties involved. That’s where our Tweep of the Week comes in to save the day! 
With the cold weather you may have decided that standing outside to grill burgers isn’t the warmest idea. If you’re still craving some burgers though, then I highly recommend you try JCT. Bar’s pimento cheese burger. For $10 you can get a “Burger N’ Beer” at JCT. This isn’t your usual college student deal with a budget Natty Light either. JCT.’s deal hooks you up with an ale from Brooklyn Brewery. The “Burger N’ Beer” deal goes on Tuesday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. so make sure to stop by. Just looking at this picture has my stomach grumbling for another one. Hurry up 5 p.m.!
Knowing our wallets need a break after all the holiday spending, Truva is serving up a financially feasible feast for Downtown lunchgoers. The new restaurant near Peachtree Center is now offering a $10 lunch buffet laden with a variety of Turkish dishes and salads. Guests also can order from the regular menu and even add the lunch buffet to any sandwich, flatbread or kebap order for $6. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
