On the back patio or Dr. Bombay’s tea house, Katrell Christie talks about her first trip to India. Sipping hot tea beneath the strings of bulb lights, the world of poverty and crime that she describes doesn’t seem quite real.
Look, let’s get right to it, okay? We know that you like beer. And how do we know this exactly? Well, because we assume that if you read our site, then you’re probably a little something like us. And boy do we ever like beer. Hell, we love beer. In fact, I feel reasonably certain that Purge wouldn’t exist at all if not for the aid of a few frosty brews.
Here’s How is back just in time for summer. All of the previous cocktails I’ve shared with you have been classic recipes with a bit of history involved. To kick things off this time, we will begin with the most popular original cocktail that the bar at Leon’s Full Service has served since summer of 2009, Miller’s Cucumber Cooler.
With the media’s focus as of late on our impending doom, it’s become increasingly difficult to view the horror movie genre and even Fox news reports as being tongue-in-cheek.
Sitting at a coffee shop on North Highland Avenue, I’m surrounded by college students, fledgling writers and first and last dates. Other than the latter, most of us have one reason for being here: free Internet access.
OMG Taco didn’t quite make us say, “OMG.” It was more like, “Eh.” Growing pains happen at any new restaurant. But because our order came out wrong in many ways, it was hard to tell what was what. I ordered my two tofu tacos “LOL” style but couldn’t find a single sesame seed or sprig of cilantro… on anything we ordered. What’s more, the fried tofu, supposedly “tossed with sweet OMG chili sauce,” was bare and flavorless.
It wasn’t until last summer that I was introduced to the food truck revolution that’s trying to take place in Atlanta. I became acquainted with the movement when my friend and fellow Purge contributor Brittany decided to start a food truck called Grace’s Goodness. Up until that point, I was pretty clueless on the subject, but the idea of a truck potentially pulling up outside the bar at 3am and satisfying my cravings (and helping me avoid IHOP) sounded pretty amazing.
