I love Atlanta. If you know me personally, you’ll figure that out pretty quick. Any chance I get to explore and roam the city, I’ll do it. I am a sucker for pretty things and good food. A couple months ago a friend of mine, Sarah Shackleford, thought we should take our passion and turn it into something tangible for others. So many times we kept being asked, “Whats a good place for a date night” or “My mom is in town, where should I take her?” Or the inevitable question, “I only go to the same places, where is somewhere new and cool to try.” We decided lets make an Instagram account, and that’s when we came up with @eatyourheartoutatl, and broadcast that information – highlight the latest happenings and all the tasty places to eat in Atlanta.
One of my favorite spots in the city is Bocado in the westside. It’s right across the street to Octane and neighbors The Merchant. Have you been? It is delicious!! Their burger is one of the best in town (maybe even the best depending on who you talk too). My mouth is watering thinking about it! Pair it up with some herb fries and you may want to slap yourself it’s so good. Plus they have a killer bar…they have Allagash White on draft which is my favorite beer ( and goes nicely with the burger). When the weather is nice, go sit outside on the patio…its divine!
Pretty much everything about this place is good; from the atmosphere, to the location and most importantly food and drinks.
Here’s a good date night option for you; Go to Octane before grab a coffee, eat our recommended entrée at Bocado, and then walk over to The Optimist for a night cap. I wouldn’t steer you wrong when it comes to good food. But why don’t you go and see for yourself!
