Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

My wife did her grocery shopping on a Saturday for the first time in about 2 months. She'd been going mid-week to avoid crowds.

Apparently there was no line, delay, or apparent rush of people. So that was nice.

I go early to Kroger, have no problems at all.

I use Krogers home delivery service and have had little problem

How do you get the pictures to embed? We made a killer pizza tonight and I'd love to show it. 

Cincy, did you say you are near or enjoy the "Joy Cafe"?

it's on triple D at the moment

looks good

Yes, about 2 blocks away from there.  Had one experience there, was not good, haven't gone back, probably should ...

Maybe I should not have jumped for Joy ...

I imagine it is typically fine, it attracts crowds and has outdoor seating.  The menu looks fine, but I doubt it is exceptional/can't miss.

If folks visit us, it would not be on the list of places to take them except maybe lunch, maybe, had we now had a bad experience.

There are some "unique" places around that have a more interesting twist than just serving decent food.  I'd guess there are 100 places in walking distances of our condo.  And some list of top 50 places in the metro area came out and we've tried 5.

I liked that list more than most because it included some dives and BBQ places, it wasn't just a list of all the expensive places in town.  Our problem is we have some favorites we go back to and that cuts down on trying new places, which is mostly irrelevant at the moment.

There is a hotel downtown in the Candler Building which recently was restored as a hotel built in ca. 1910 with a French kind of restaurant called By George in it I'd like to try, the photos look pretty neat.  I like old buildings.  They opened less than a year ago, so they are getting hurt.  The Empire State South restaurant is 3 blocks from us, they have a very nice patio/grass area outside.

Empire State South owner chef Hugh Acheson opens his downtown French restaurant By George on Wednesday, October 23, inside the historic Candler building, now a boutique hotel owned by Hilton on Peachtree Street.
Located on the first floor in what was once home to Central Bank and Trust, By George serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides space to sip tea, coffee, and champagne with caviar service throughout the day. As with Acheson’s other restaurants, beverage director Kellie Thorn and sommelier Steven Grubbs are both on board to create the cocktail menu and mostly French wine list for the restaurant.
Lead by chef Ian Quinn (C. Ellet’s Steakhouse), Acheson’s “French-inspired” menu should include a few recognizable classics such as terrine of foie gras served with brioche and seasonal fruit, steak Diane and frites, escargot, and pomme dauphin (crisp potato puffs) as well as dishes with a slight Southern accent, like a catfish quenelle with nantua sauce and a Georgia trout.
