Can you believe it? SNOW! IN ATLANTA! In the strictest sense, today wasn’t really a snow day because I did have to work, but my boss was kind enough to let our team work from home, hence avoiding 27 car pile-ups and roads coated in sheets of ice. And, the agency started late and ended early today, so the day has had a vaguely weekend feel to it. No complaints from me.
On top of the whopping inch of snow on the ground, the weather is frigidly cold, but Mw and I braved the elements to venture out for a walk and food at lunchtime. We went to one of my favorite burger places, the Vortex, a biker-bar and restaurant in Little Five Points. I love the place, Mw has mixed feelings as it can be a tad smoky, but at lunch on a weekday it wasn’t so bad. Everything about the food at the Vortex is big and most of it is fried—giant burgers, overflowing plates of tater tots, yum.
Today I ventured out of my menu comfort zone to try the Trailer Park Cheeser. Not for the faint of heart—pimento cheese, bacon, coleslaw, fried pickles, and barbeque potato chips served grilled on marbled rye bread—even the server who brought it out to me confessed that it was just too much for him. Only one word to describe it: delicious. Well, and decadent. And gluttonous. Good thing we walked there.
[You might be questioning the work from home day at this point in the post but a girl does have to eat, right?]
