In Tech Square in Atlanta’s Midtown this Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, you’ll find 90 of the city’s best-known and best-loved restaurants
coming together for the twelfth annual Taste of Atlanta.
Tickets and more information about the festival are
available on the official Taste of Atlanta website, which also features the
full list of restaurants and what food they’re serving. However, there are a few offers still around for saving money on your tickets, so that's worth a Google search.
Here at SoCosmo, we’ve
checked through the restaurants and eateries attending to find the sweet stuff
that we know you really want. The festival, like most of its kind, uses a token
system where you buy tokens from a booth in the event, and use 1, 2, or 3 tokens
at the restaurant booths to buy the food you want.
Right now there are 28 dessert items announced from 18 of
the vendors, so if you have a sweet tooth, this is the list you need. Sadly we
can’t tell you how may tokens each item will cost, so you’re going to have to
visit the booth to find out. Here is our list of the places and desserts we can't wait to try...
Atlanta Grill
The restaurant from the Ritz-Carlton will be serving Guava Fried Cheesecake.
Cafe Intermezzo
This stylish late-night spot for a great date is providing three desserts! You can choose from Oreo Cheesecake, Intermezzo Chocolate Torte, or Nutella Crepe.
Davio's
Along with their signature gnocci bolognese, the steakhouse at Phipps Plaza brings ther A-game dessert: Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding.
EAV Graveyard
East Atlanta Village is home to some great eateries, and Graveyard Pub is a cool spot to sit and people-watch in the summer. They're bringing Mini Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting.
High Road Craft Ice Cream
One of three amazing craft chilled desserts in Atlanta, along with Frozen Pints, and Honesysuckle Gelato, High Road will provide their Peach Cobbler Ice Cream Sandwich, which, if it's anything like the twist on a grilled cheese they did for the Atlanta Cheese Festival a couple of weeks ago, is sure to bee a fan favorite. They're also bringing what might be the best-sounding dessert o the weekend: Bourbon Caramel Praline Sundae.
Max Lager's
Who doesn't love Fried Cheesecake? Max Lager's, the brewpub/restaurant next to Hardy Park at Peachtree and West Peachtree, does, and that's what they'll be serving.
Seed Kitchen and Bar
East Cobb's best restaurant will be offering Tres Leches Cake with Berries and Chantilly Cream.
Seven Lamps
On Saturday Only, Drew van Leuvan's Buckhead restaurant will be at the festival, and he's bringing Figgy Fudding with Toffee Creme. So bring your appetite.
The Spence
You'd expect nothing less than spectacular from a restaurant run by Top Chef alum, Richard Blais. The Spence delivers, with a Chocolate Mousse and Salted Almond Brittle.
Wait, this is only nine places -- what are the other nine?
Missing from this list, for the sake of brevity, not quality, are:
Honeysuckle Gelato, The Melting Pot, Milton's, Morelli's, Paschal's, Sugar Shack, Waffle House, Wrecking Bar Brewpub, Yogli Mogli.
So get yourself to Taste of Atlanta this weekend, and sample some of the best of what the city has to offer.
