I went to Atlanta earlier this week (Sunday through Tuesday) for the first time. I love that city! (Although I did expect to see Rick from the The Walking Dead or maybe a zombie or two right around the corner.) Some neighborhoods I enjoyed more than others, but overall, the people were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and the shopping was great. I was there for a conference but also got to meet in person and hang out with my blog friend Amanda. That girl is truly my partner in crime! Having her in such close proximity made the whole trip at least three times better.
I also can't praise Yeah Burger enough -- if you're gluten-free, you know how hard it can be to find a delicious, affordable, safe-to-eat meal in a new city. Yeah Burger offers all three of those things...but especially "delicious." It would be worth a return trip to the city just to get the burger I had again!
