Get Sauced! Ribs & Whiskey Days are Back at Marlow's Tavern Through October 27

Bonus: September 24-30 Dining Benefits Dine Out for No Kid Hungry

 

     

Sails up! Unfurl napkins over shirtfronts to catch saucy chin-to-chest dribbles when settling in for Ribs & Whiskey specials at all Marlow's Tavern locations (except the newest restaurant in Buford). The annual finger-lickin' celebration signals cooler days and hearty eating ahead. Sweet and tangy stars include slow-cooked Smithfield James River St. Louis-style ribs and Marlow's Ribs & Whiskey Hookup uniting both aforementioned ribs AND Drunken Chicken on a plate along with Granny Smith apple-cabbage slaw, Southern fried mac and pimento cheese plus house-made sweet corn and jalapeño muffins to sop up your choice of three sauces -- Jack Daniel's glaze, hoisin barbecue or Marlow's chipotle barbecue. Spoon into bourbon-soaked bread pudding with a sippin' splash of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey whiskey. Feel free to order stand-alone sides and muffins. Wash it all down with handcrafted cocktails and adult drinks such as bourbon-rich A Kick from Ginger, Georgia peach lemonade, Tommy's red sangria, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Boulevard Brewing Company Smokestack Double-Wide IPA and SweetWater Whiplash White IPA.

Hearth Pizza Tavern and Parma Tavern Have an App for "Yelp Has an App for That" Promo

Yelp is launching a new app where businesses extend offers for Yelpers to unlock, use and post comments using up to 140 characters. Setting the app in motion is a bragging-rights fight of the apps among OTP restaurants offering special "Yelp Has an App for That" $5 appetizers from September 29-October 3. Anyone can order the appetizers, not just Yelpers, so go for it! At Hearth Pizza Tavern in Sandy Springs, chicken and mushroom spring rolls ($5) look mighty tempting. Three spring rolls are stuffed with chicken, porcini and shiitake mushrooms, savoy cabbage, celery, shallots, garlic, cilantro, basil and scallions then served with a sweet and sour sauce. Parma Tavern, near the Mall of Georgia in Buford, plates up a plump homemade meatball slider ($5) on a toasted potato roll, all gussied up with arugula and creamy Parmesan dressing. Aptly said, this is one delicious duel.

Even though Ink & Elm will be closed to the public for dinner on the night of Thursday, October 9, executive chef Stephen Sharp will cater to a full house. The law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, L.L.P. is taking over the entire Emory Village restaurant for a charity fundraising event from 6-9 p.m. Guests will rub elbows with chefs and bourbon buffs at A Little Help for Our Friends, a pig roast and Southern artisanal bourbon tasting. Besides piling on the pig meat, Sharp will serve subtly modern Southern dishes of salt-crusted roasted fish, roast beef and locally sourced organic sides. Whiskey whizzes will circulate throughout, sharing their knowledge. Proceeds that night will pour into the Health Law Partnership (HeLP), a trio composed of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Georgia State University College of Law that is banding together to improve the health of low-income children and their families. $100 per person to attend (50 percent tax deductible as charitable contribution within IRS guidelines). Case closed.

Deb Perelman has a tiny kitchen and a huge following on her Smitten Kitchen blog. Her recipes are comforting and unpretentious, and there's no place for fuss in her NYC galley kitchen or Instagram gallery.  

Appetizing Aperture

We tried to capture the whole menu, but our jpg file was way too big. We're settling for a tablescape of dishes on the menu at Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails in Jacksonville, Florida. Moxie chef Tom Gray joined Kevin Gillespie as a Gunshow Hired Gun back in June. Jacksonville's not that far to go if you missed it.
