Feathers Are Flying

Every January, the International Poultry Expo/International Feed Expo arrives at the Georgia World Congress Center for a week of talking turkey and crowing about chickens. And during their visit each year, the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau and the U.S Poultry and Egg Association hatch FeatherFest, the weeklong culinary competition between Atlanta restaurants to see who can create the best poultry meat-based appetizers and entrées. From Jan. 21 - Jan. 27, Atlanta restaurant goers and IPE convention attendees can vote for their picks on the FeatherFest website and be entered to win an iPhone! Our recommendations for poultry perfection include Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, Fifth Group Restaurants, Marlow's Tavern - Northlake, Ray's In The City, and Spice Market in the W Atlanta-Midtown!

New Belgium New Patio

It might be a bit chilly outside but today's sunshine (especially after yesterday's crazy snow) is just begging to be enjoyed. Luckily, Marlow's Tavern Northlake is celebrating its newly renovated rooftop patio tonight with a New Belgium beer party at 8 p.m. Check out the refreshed patio, enjoy tasty appetizers and of course, drink plenty of beer! The brewers will also be in attendance, so don't miss the chance to mingle with the brains behind these newly-released brews.

Don't worry, if it gets too cold to be enjoyed outside the party will move indoors so there is no excuse not to show!
