With the weather warming up, it’s a fine time to visit the Atlanta Food Truck Park once again! Sometimes you play a game of food truck roulette but the two places I went to this go around were pretty solid. I especially enjoyed the offerings of the Smoke-fried wings. The mango thai chili glaze really made you want to go back for another bite; sweet, savory, spicy, smokey, with a slight crisp per frying the wings.

Hadn’t been to the Dancing Goats Ponce before and had happened to be in the area. Upon walking up to the building, it honestly look pretty small but once you step inside, you can tell there is far more than meets the eye; actually that’s what I thought of coffee in general before I was educated by Jason Dominy during one of his Coffee 101 sessions.

Got my Sticky Bun!! 🙂

 

One of Chef Ford Fry’s other quality establishment. This was one of the other locations in Atlanta that I had not yet visited and definitely enjoyed myself! Had some time before the fashion shoot with Christine, so thought it might be best to warm up a bit (it was probably low 20’s with the wind chill). A solid little menu, but I was definitely more interested in the Sticky Bun. 🙂 Just saw it in the window on my way into the restaurant and couldn’t get it off my mind.

Come check this place out sometime! A solid eatery. Will need to come back for dinner.
