I've been tagged...

...by Liz! This is the first time I have been tagged in the blogging world, so I guess it is a momentous occasion. Either that, or it just means that I am FINALLY starting to get some more people I know who are blogging as well. :-) To those of you my friends who read my blog but do not yet have one of your own -- I am very glad you visit me! -- but get started, especially if you have little ones that we'd all like to see! But I digress from the main point of this blog, which is to respond to my "tag", which is as follows: I am supposed to name my five favorite local restaurants here in metro-Atlanta, Georgia, and then tag five more people to name theirs. However, due to how little we eat out and the limited number of blogging friends I have, I am going to name/tag two! #1 - Rainwater Restaurant is my hands-down favorite. The atmosphere is great and the food is exquisite. I consider it a 'fancy' restaurant (i.e. it is rather expensive but well worth what you pay, and you get to use real table etiquette), so we don't go often -- usually just for our anniversary and on our planning weekend. I love their house salad, really like their roast duck, their macaroni and bleu cheese is amazing, and their breads are great, too. And for dessert, their fresh fruit and lemon curd tart is so good... #2 - Bobby G's is the only authentic Chicago-style food that we have tasted outside of Chicago. Bruce always has the Italian Beef with Hot Giardiniera Peppers and I always have the Vienna Beef hotdog with mayo and a dill pickle in the bun, just like we always did on Friday nights in Chicago. The food is authentic enough to make us really miss Chicago and everyone there whenever we eat here! I tag Deb and, in an effort to coerce her into blogging again, Jessica!
