Our time in Atlanta last week was certainly NOT uneventful! We arrived in foggy, rainy weather that worsened as the day continued.
I have always loved a good corn dog so when our kids recommended we have lunch at one of the hot new restaurants, Palookaville, in Avondale Estates we all piled in the SUV and headed out.
I was not disappointed! These hand-made corn dogs are the best I have ever eaten….ever! Choose from an all beef corn dog, one with kielbasa or choose Italian sausage. For the ultimate experience try the “Fryinstein” that includes all three on a stick, dipped in Palookaville’s famous corn batter and deep fried. Dip these delicious dogs in regular or hot deli mustard…wash it down with one of the many cold brews on the menu and enjoy! Bananas Foster on a stick? You bet! Owner, Jim Stacy, has created a fun filled menu with something for everyone!
The restaurant was packed with people full of holiday spirit spilling out onto the sidewalk. We had quite a wait due to the crowd but we didn’t care. It’s always fun when our family gets together. We all love great food….unusual restaurants and good libation. We were not disappointed at Palookaville. “Bubba”, our server, kept us entertained and kept his cool as the Carnie atmosphere in this popular eatery overflowed with merrymaking diners.
Little did we know that the table of six seated next to us was comprised of members of the heavy metal band Mastodon. Bass player, Troy Sanders sat at the end of the table nearest Mr. T. During our lively conversation something was said that caused me to nudge my lovely husband in the arm just as he picked up his nearly empty glass of red wine. The glass went flying, crashing to the floor inches from Troy’s feet. Thank goodness it wasn’t full! I must have turned the same shade of red as the wine…..how embarrasing! My stepdaughter, gracious enough to pick up the glass which cleanly snapped stem from goblet, made our apologies. Another story for our family’s annals of what we always term “The Griswolds Go Out”. Just a note: Bubba told us who the band was after they left and all of this happened. Later that evening we ran into Troy AGAIN when my step daughter and I went to Walgreen’s to pick up a few things….what are the chances?
It’s never a dull moment in our family! That’s one of the things I love about it all! Another Christmas has passed….a New Year is about to begin! Celebrate….be safe….treasure your family’s stories and the history you create sharing good times. 2015 promises to be an awesome year!
