Setting the Foodie Foundation

Good Soul Food and good Bar-B-Q...two things that are harder to find than a good parking space in Atlanta. Atlanta is a wonderful place to be if you are a Foodie (Foodie is an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink. The word was coined in 1981 by Paul Levy and Ann Barr, who used it in the title of their 1984 book The Official Foodie Handbook.-Wikipedia). The choices are boundless and the array of chefs that are pushing the boundaries of culinary exploration are many (including two Iron Chef competitors and one Top Chef contestant-that I know of). After getting some bad advice, and being disappointed by biased food reviews, we are compiling a list and critique of some of best spots in Atlanta.

Just so you will not be left in the dark, I'll start by introducing you to "The Crewe":
