About us
It is very important that we all make sure we can receive MeetUp messages on the fly in very short time.
Sometimes its necessary to contact members about an event - and sometimes that's within short hours of the event (like an hour or 2 or 4 before the event) - to check that you're still attending or whatnot. We've had where our members do not get messages - or don't respond to them - and as I hope you understand, that makes it close to impossible to run this group of over 500 people well enough to be fair to all of us and certainly to be considerate of the restaurants we attend.
I like to think of us all as friends - even if we're still to have met - and its best if we are all on that same page.
Join us to discover, and rediscover, restaurants in the Atlanta area. If you are up for some adventure, we will also plan some great foodie trips beyond Atlanta. So great food, great conversation and new friends? A winning combination. We keep our events small, so expect dinners for 4-8 members only.
What do we ask in return? That you check out the menu and check your calendar before signing up. No last minute cancellations, and definitely no "no-shows". It's unfair to the rest of the group AND to the restaurant. Anyone canceling same day or not showing up will be removed from the group. Policies may change for certain events so make sure to read the fine print!

Fred's Meat & Bread (Fred's not dead)
Fred's Meat & Bread, 99 Krog Street Northeast, Atlanta, GA, USEdit: I changed the date to Monday May 25th. I hope ya'll can still make this dinner. (I'm going to attend the Atlanta History Center's collaboration with GPB on Thu the 21st. I'm a lifelong GPB listener.)
I've been researching (lots of things). Burgers. This place is Michelin mentioned 3 years in a row. You want to do reconnaissance with me? I love a great burger! Let's check this place out!
If you want to take a look at i, here's their website: Fred's Not Dead
According to Michelin: "This Atlanta spot lets the main ingredients shine without gilding the lily with extras or anything unnecessary. The meat and bread were very good quality. Don't tell Philly, but this iteration easily put many there to shame."

246 (8, who do we appreciate?)
no. 246, 129 East Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur, GA, USI've been to 246 eons ago and remember loving it. I think I just had a steak. I want to go back, and I look for opportunities to hang out with friends. Please join me?
The restaurant webpage if you care to look: 2 4 6
From their website:
246’s reimagined direction marks a new era for the Decatur gem that pays homage to the old-school, Italian dining scenes of yesteryear.
Reminiscent of mob-style destinations with scenes of guests enjoying the likes of spicy rigatoni vodka & a bowl of meatballs in gravy in mind, the menu features a remixed, throwback to classics like a classic house-chopped salad, calamari marinara, fried house-made mozzarella & cheesy garlic bread al forno for the table, Nonna-approved pizzas and pastas, secondi crowd-pleasers like chicken al limone, shrimp scampi, bistecca alla Fiorentina & sizzling flounder piccata — plus a playful dessert menu, classic cocktails and a carefully curated wine list of American and Italian standouts.

Sharon's Birthday!! (Marcel)
Marcel, 1170 Howell Mill Rd Nw, Atlanta, GA, USIts Sharon's birthday (on June 13th) !! If you'd like to celebrate Sharon with us .... Let's celebrate!!
Here's a link to Marcel: Marcel!
From the restaurant:
A brief and recent history of restaurants: First, there were places of taste and pastimes and chiaroscuro lighting and low piano notes of laughter; places of urbane chat over classic dishes and cocktails and wines and—of course, of course—steaks made the right way. Those were the days. Then people got fancy with their food and tried new things. Good for them. But they always come back. Classic is classic because classic serves, and serves well.
And here we are again, back to the beginnings at Marcel, a first-rate steakhouse and bar by Ford Fry. Named after Marcel Cerdan, the iconic French fighter-romantic who endured ring rumbles, war, marriage, a famous affair with Edith Piaf (and could only be stopped from seeing his love when his plane crashed into a mountain), Marcel is a return to the days when people appreciated every moment, when dull care was forgotten, when love lingered over the best meals—including, pound-for-pound, the best steaks money can buy.
Let’s not take ourselves too seriously. But life is short, so let’s seriously enjoy this excellent cuisine, this cheery company.
