Quick 90 min flight from Dallas to Atlanta,for a business trip during the days and exploring the metroplex during the evenings

 After landing , I rented a nice Hemi truck at National rental which is recommended , as you can pick whatever in the lot , and drove to office . Atlanta traffic is terrible so plan longer drive to and from the airport !!!.

The terrain is beautiful , many parks , green areas and for sure not as flat as Dallas area .

As I needed to continue working on 2018 new year resolution and 32 degree didn’t scared me #noexcuses   , I went to an amazing run in RockMill park where I saw a family of Deers 10 fit from me , just beautiful.

Now to the culinary part of my visit , which is always huge part of any of my travels , I will share restaurants from current and previous visits.

Barcelona Westside Ironworks  – tapas  , great wine and delicious food  , Octopus was really good .

Rumi’s Kitchen Avalon – Persian food ,great Kebab and amazing eggplant appetizers .

Chuy’s – Mexican – Tex Mex style , great for lunch .

South Main Kitchen – Southern food  , great bar , and amazing food .

Octopus and pork shoulder were delicious and beautifully served.

I usually don’t try Steaks during my travels as they usually disappoint me  and I can make a better one .

Cabernet Steakhouse – fine steakhouse , great service , which serve their steaks cooked as ordered, but again , you can cook same at home.

I love to go to the cigar bar there , where I smoke a fine Cigar and have a Manhattan , before or after the meal .   Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse Dunwoody  – great brazilian steakhouse chain , never dissapoint.

Pampas Steakhouse – an Argentinian steakhouse , amazing cuts of meats , great selection of wine and wonderful Chimichurri sauce  which goes well with the steaks.

Bistro Niko – French Bistro – no pics but great bistro , the steaks and fritts was Yummy .

Alpine Bakery and Trattoria – Italian & Desert  , during the days of my non GF , amazing pasta went well with Sauvignon blanc and great desserts.

One of my favorite “dessert”  at Highland Cigar Co.

A great local beer where you can smoke your own cigar or buy it there paired with nice Scotch.

Atlanta visit  was good to me 🙂 .
