Jon and I are getting back in the swing of posting (I especially have neglected it for a while, due to various family stuff and the day job), so here we go.
This weekend I'll be heading somewhere I've never been to before: Athens, Georgia. I'm going to visit an aunt and uncle who've lived there for nearly 20 years, and they're excited to show us the sights and take us to some of their favorite local restaurants.
My only association with Athens is that I know it's the home of the B-52s and REM. In the past couple of weeks, various people have told me that there's still a big music scene there, good food, and of course the University of Georgia. So I expect some great BBQ and plenty of red Bulldogs attire.
I've done a little Chowhound research this morning, and here are the dining recommendations:
Last Resort
Farm 255
Five & Ten - Hugh Acheson's restaurant! (I love Top Chef, and how can you resist a menu with the category "Snackies" on it?!?)
Last Resort
And on the lower end, JB's (for hot dogs) and Weaver D's (a diner).
I've been starting to eat a more non-animal based diet, but I won't be able to resist good BBQ or seafood. And of course, sweet tea!
I'll report back next week. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

I hope you had fun!
