One of the many, many great things about our Southern home is, not surprisingly, the food. Gawd, is it good! I know other cities have delicious food too, but one thing that makes Atlanta/Decatur greater is the price points. Up in D.C. I could never really afford to eat the really good stuff. Down here, high Zagat ratings or mentions of James Beard Awards don’t make my hands shake when I hand over my credit card at the end of a meal.
To break up a busy Saturday, my bf and I decided to finally try JCT Kitchen (in West Midtown) for lunch. So delicious – and we came in at about $30 for both our lunches (including a coffee and dessert). I can certainly swing that once a week (when I go light on the thrift shopping).
Potato dumplings:
Shrimp and grits (with a poached egg on top)
The most delicious coffee I’ve had in a long while:
Georgia fried apple pie with vanilla ice cream and pitcher (not shown) of butterscotch sauce:
Outfit details: thrifted camel coat, hat from Tarjay, boots from America Eagle (years ago), sweater from Old Navy, scarf (as belt) from H&M, nude jersey dress from Lila Boutique in Inman Park, vegan-friendly purse from Vivid Boutique in Decatur.

Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
the bag is gorgeous and i love the color combination of your outfit
Oooooh Southern food. I have huge cravings for fried chicken and apple pie. Mmmmm.
I was really sad to hear about Elizabeth Edwards, too. She was a wonderful, intelligent, strong woman.
Forget the food (which looks yum btw)— look at that outfit! It’s perfection! (And the colors match the colors of the AsianCajun logo!) You must have turned bunches of heads walking down the street like that. =) Happy holidays.
Love your handbag! Those food shots are gorgeous and very gourmet looking. All for $30 and fed two? So sad that this is in the opposite corner of the country :o(
I love the color combo on you and those food pictures are making me hungry again.
