I got tagged by Beth for the Restaurant Meme in which you write down your 5 favorite places to eat and why you like them. Then you tag other people to do the same. So here are my Favorite Fives, in no particular order:
1. Islamorado Fish Company, Islamorado, Florida. Jeremy and I went here in 2001 b.k. (before kids). I have never forgotten it. This place was awesome! The food, the atmosphere…EVERYTHING! Plus, it’s attached to one of the world’s largest Bass Pro Shops, which is a huge plus in our family!
2. Stoney River, Roswell, Georgia. Again the atmosphere is wonderful here. Picture a huge stone fireplace surrounded by big, comfy leather chairs in the bar area, right in the center of the restaurant. Their steaks are to die for! And so are the crab cakes (which have a really funny story attached to them, but it’s long, so another time maybe).
3. The Cheesecake Factory, Atlanta, Georgia. This place has a menu that is like, 10 pages long. And it’s so hard to decide! Everything is soooo good. Just give me a taste of it all!!!! Oh, but be sure to leave room for dessert. There are about 30 different cheesecakes to pick from. This place is not for people who have a hard time making decisions! (Seriously, check out their menu on-line).
4. Bugaboo Creek, Duluth, Georgia. This was a hot spot for Jeremy and I when we were dating. They serve wonderful bread and salads, and one of my favorite things to order is their salmon. Not too long ago I tried their Pomegranite Margarita and fell instantly in love! Oh man, if you’ve never tried one, I suggest you do…SOON!
5. Bassano’s, Loganville, Georgia. Thought I would add a local joint to the list. This place is new in town, maybe about a year, and I enjoy their food a lot. They have an awesome greek salad that I crave for lunch. Along with a giant slice of cheese pizza, it’s the perfect combo.
Hmmm…I just finished this list and it’s noon. Maybe I’ll get the kids dressed and head into town for a little Italian for lunch?
But first, I gotta tag some friends for the meme: Okay my 2 friends who just started blogging, Michele and Michelle (I’m so glad y’all spell your name differently) and my sister Jessica (and no, you cannot list El Charro for all 5 because they have 5 different locations)!

Oh, I just love The Cheesecake Factory. They give you enough food for 3 days, though, LOL!
I’m so bummed the Bugaboo Creek by us closed before we could take the kids. I’ve lived 2 miles away from that Stoney River for 3 years and have never been- guess I’ll have to suggest that for my b-day dinner coming up! My 2 fave places in town are Buca di Beppo and Athens Greek. Gotta check’em out!
