Food Lover

Guest post from: Joe Castro I wouldn’t exactly call myself a foodie, but I do love to eat. I love fine restaurants, but I also like the not-so-fine restaurants (I don’t discriminate). I recently graduated from The University of Georgia, and there are so many wonderful, delicious, affordable restaurants in Athens. While I was there, I frequented many (maybe all) the restaurants in the downtown scene, my favorite of which was Last Resort Grill. It’s a funky, upscale creative southern cuisine (and I literally couldn’t describe it in any fewer words). The servers are temperamental townies, but the food can’t be beat. I actually prefer lunch and brunch at Last Resort (fried green tomato sandwich or French toast). My biggest regret (or at least biggest food regret) was that I didn’t visit 5 and 10 before leaving Athens. Everytime I see Hugh Acheson pop up on a Top Chef show on my direcTV, I want to kick myself. Lucky for me, I’ve got tickets to a couple football games this season, which gives me a few more chances to spend a week’s worth of pay on a meal good enough to be my last. I can’t wait.
