Thumbs Down Tacos, Thumbs Up Diner, Atlanta

Ah, Thumbs Up Diner. How deceitful you are - you with your convenient location, packed crowds on weekends, and good press from local foodies. I thought I could trust you. I thought that my smoked chicken tacos - with salsa, no cheese please, guac on the side and sunflower sprouts would be healthy and yummy. But [...]

Pedometer Challenge!

My friend Katie and I have much in common. From behind, we are mistaken for each other. We both work on computers all day. We love to eat and cook and drink beers with our pals.
