You're Invited: Atlanta Meatball Festival August 30
Few things can duplicate the sheer deliciousness captured in a perfectly seasoned meatball. Beloved both for their bite-sized addictiveness and their savory flavor, they're tasty enjoyed alone, or served atop a heaping pile of pasta.
This month, we raise a toast to the meaty morsel with the second annual Atlanta Meatball Festival August 30 from 1-5pm at Belle Isle Square in Sandy Springs.

Friday Night Kick Off Party:
Bucket List Bash!
When was the last time you had an epic Friday night? More specifically, when did you last have an epic foodie Friday? Go ahead and mark your calendar for September 25. Epic is heading your way.
Following the good 'ole "YOLO!" credo, (or, you only live once), we're throwing down big for the opening night of Taste of Atlanta with our Friday night kickoff party.
Running from 7:30 to 10:30 pm, this alfresco Friday night kick-off bumps the fest into high gear with the themed "Bucket List Bash." Have a restaurant in Atlanta you've been dying to try (or a few you want to revisit)? You'll want to check this out-and wake up those taste buds for Saturday's main event-in this all-you-can-eat gorge fest.
For a very limited time Bucket List Bash VIP tickets are $65 (reg. $90) and general admission is $55 (reg. $75). This event WILL SELL OUT, so grab them quick!

Drink Recipe: Makan's Boozy Seoul Slinger
Hot weather and tiki drinks have long shared a blissful relationship. It's something we're reminded of every time we succumb to Makan's all too-tasty Seoul Slinger cocktail. Served up in a ceramic tiki cup, the tropical concoction transports us from the sizzling Atlanta summer to a breezy beach miles and miles away.

Tito's Vodka is the Official Vodka of Taste of Atlanta 2015
We'd like to introduce our good friend, Tito.
"Hi. I'm Tito Beveridge (yes that's my real name), Founder and Master Distiller of Tito's Vodka. Back in 1995 I had the idea of starting a microdistillery, incorporating the appeal of boutique wineries and micro breweries into the spirits industry. My idea was to go back to the pot still, like the single malt Scotches and French cognacs. I put my life's savings into it, racked up 19 credit cards, and built my own stills and condensers.
Since then, we have won the Unanimous Gold Medal at the Worlds Spirits Competition and have won numerous accolades for quality over the past 17 years.
My goal is to make the world's finest vodka at a fair price. Tito's Vodka is made from corn and naturally Gluten Free. For cocktail recipes and a list of places you can find us, please visit www.titosvodka.com."
