Let me "enlighten" you on my whirlwind (and subsequently yummy) day...In a mad dash to Atlanta to pick up my aunt at the airport, Mom and I managed to be extremely productive. It really is amazing how much you can get done in a car with a Blackberry. We ordered fabric, confirmed the bid for the chapter room audio equipment, booked a flight, laughed :-) , made hair appointments, made nail appointments, confirmed ALL food counts for the rehearsal dinner, and a hundred other things I am surprisingly (ha!) forgetting.
We got to Atlanta, the clock read 11:47...meaning we had 2 hours and 13 minutes until we must be at the airport. The bad things is we had A LOT that we wanted to cram into a little amount of time. We went by the few fabric stores off of I-75, and luckily found everything we needed...quickly! At this point the time is now 1:23. In the midst of both of our cell phones ringing off the hook (yes, wedding weekend details still being determined) we stopped at STAR PROVISIONS. Mmm, mmm delicious! Everything on the menu sounds divine, and your eyes are quick to follow all of the food passing by. This is great...but it leaves my little indecisive self flat our confused. I found myself in a state of "I dunno...do I want salad? Do I want a sandwich? Or I mean I could just eat the cupcakes and be happy? That's not filling. Oh...decisions, decisions, decisions.
Well, I made one...the Antipasto: Selection of Three Vegetabe Sides with Butter Lettuce
1. Orechiete w/ Broccoli, Red Onion, Lemon & Goat Cheese
2. Cucumber, Tomato & Basil Salad
3. and Chick Pea Sald
I went for the variety. A nice compromise for myself. Don't you agree?
Star Provisions is located in Atlanta's Midtown West. If you are not familiar with Atlanta, there is a lot of adaptive reuse development going on in this part of town (or was going on...like everything else, our economic state has taken a toll on construction). Actually, Star Provisions is even located in an old, readapted factory building off of Howell Mill Road. As a tangent of the upscale Atlanta restaurant Bacchanali, Star Provisions is a hybrid bakery, deli, gourmet store, and market. It is kind of like a high-end "one stop shop". In all honesty the food is really good, but I really think the best part is the space + design. Every corner is unique, the business cards are drool worthy, and the fixtures are aghhhhh...COOL!
This was a YUM-O end to a BUSY day, and left us just enough time to pull up to the north terminal at the Atlanta Airport to pick up my aunt...and finally head home!

oh i LOVE star provisions. Your day looks and sounds like a lot of fun. I hope Stella and I have days like that in our future... especially the lots of laughing part. I need to pick your mother's brain about how she managed to have such a great relationship with all of you! I wish I could do lunch at taqueria del sol and dinner at star provisions! yum.
What a cute little place. will have to check it out the next time i head to atl.
It sounds like you had a great time with your mom and yummy food as well. Us women can rule the world with a blackberry on hand.
I'll definitely have to check out Star Provisions. I live 4 hours from Atlanta and try to get down there a few times every year. Question - what is the name of the fabric store off of I-75? I'd love to check it out!
Happy wedding planning! :)
