Alright, let’s get into this week’s Anthem 👇
The Anthem is made possible in part by El Tesoro West End & South Downtown, a neighborhood treasure serving good quality food at reasonable prices. See the menu here.
🌮 El Tesoro’s breakfast burritos are amazing and only available on weekends. If they were available every day, I might be in trouble. P.S. - They’re also doing happy hour deals daily from 3-6.
🍜 The East Meets South: AAPI Night Market hits Smorgasburg in South Downtown on 8/1 (3 to 10pm) with a lineup of AAPI-owned food vendors. Start your list with Bun & Bites' shrimp-dumpling burger and yakisoba with crispy chicken and shrimp wontons.
☕ Portrait Coffee's new Peach Basil summer menu has a $7 spritz, cold brew slushie, and matcha lemonade, and you can add the flavor to any iced drink.
🍸 The Irish Exit now does their Irish Coffee two ways: the traditional hot pour, and a frozen version with Teeling whiskey, Mr Black, cold brew, and cream. Get it seven days a week, noon to midnight.
🧢 Camo hats are in at The Westwood, $30 a pop, printed by Tomahawk Prints. In-person only, no holds and no online orders.
🐙 Cooks & Soldiers is plating The Pulpo in West Midtown: Spanish octopus over almond caper picada with a crispy potato rosti and olives.
🥪 Lucky Star is running a Wagyu French Dip: black pepper steak on a house-made milk bun with Havarti and beef broth, served for lunch Thursdays and Fridays 11a to 3p. Wow this looks good.
🛒 Snack szn is here: Westview Corner Grocery is stocked up for back to school with Poppi, LaCroix, and Tate's cookies.
🥞 That French toast drenched in syrup is reason enough to hold a weekend brunch table at Yalda Westside.
🌭 Carrot Dog runs Forever I Love Atlanta Fridays at Pittsburgh Yards: two vegan ATL dogs for $12. They're now open Wednesday through Saturday, 11:30a to 6p.
🍕 Dolo's Pizza is slinging pies at Underground Atlanta til 2a, so night hawks have a slice option. Their latest is a jalapeño pie if you want to spice things up.
