If you’ll let me brag on you for a moment: You’re doing a damn-fine job and Atlanta … is … loving you for it.

So whether you’re taking home the plaque at the Georgian Terrace on the 19th, or you’re getting your honorable mention in front of hundreds of people who are proud of you, you better know that you’re a part of what people mean when they say the cream rises.

Breakfast: Flying Biscuit

This local institution broke out of its original Candler Park home slinging big ol’ biscuits, apple butter, and tofu scrambles hither and yon.

Highland Bakery

It boasts an extensive selection of wine, as well. Hang out on the patio and wonder how the gays OTP live as you survey the urban masses passing you by.

Takeout: Mellow Mushroom

What began as the little hippie pizza joint that could in Little 5 Points has, like the fungus of its namesake, had its spores carried on the wind across state lines to find many places to sprout. Maybe it’s the reliably crunchy crust made in brick ovens with a trace of cornmeal to help ’em slide, or the way they make a more-than-decent vegan pie you can get carry-out or through GrubHub?
