B-Side is a hidden gem of a restaurant, a small breakfast spot next to its sister restaurant Lilly’s Dim Sum and Then Some in West Little Rock. Little Rock doesn’t have a whole lot of breakfast choices, and B-Side is worth finding.

Nearly Everyone Ends Up at @24DinerATX during @SXSW
It seems that the 24 Diner is one of those places that everyone at SXSW ends up at sooner or later. The breakfasts are great, plus Waterloo Records and it’s fabulous stage are right next door. (Taken with Instagram at 24 Diner)

Warehouse No. 1 Restaurant, Monroe LA
I decided to eat dinner Friday night at the Warehouse Number 1 Restaurant in Monroe, Louisiana, which is built on the levee directly beside the Ouachita River. I hadn’t eaten there in nearly ten years, but it’s still good.
Another Broken Egg in Atlanta
Atlanta now has Another Broken Egg Cafe, which started in Mandeville, Louisiana near New Orleans, and is undoubtedly familiar to anyone who has been to Destin. There are now locations in Dallas, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and many other places in the south, and the food is always great.
Late Night Coffee and Dessert at @CafeIntermezzo
Open until 2 AM most nights and until 3 AM on weekends, Cafe Intermezzo is a late-night hangout for Atlanta. Intermezzo’s coffee menu alone is three pages, the liquors another four or five pages. The exquisite desserts aren’t on the menu at all- they are under glass instead, where an employe called a “tour guide” describes them in detail as you point to them and ask about them. Not a place to worry about weight, calories or cholesterol!
Atlanta’s Home For Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul And Great Food @ApacheCafe
The Apache Cafe is a unique institution in Atlanta, offering hip-hop and experimental jazz, poetry, art, desserts and french press coffees. Definitely a must-do for any fan of hip-hop music when coming to ATL.
Keeping It Real at @yeahburger in Virginia-Highlands, Atlanta
After I spoke at the conference panel, I went back to Virginia-Highlands for dinner, and found this cool place call Yeah Burger, whose slogan is “Keeping It Real.” Nice atmosphere, great burgers and reasonable prices.
Having A Taste of History at Zesto’s Drive-Ins @ZestoATL
Zesto Drive-Ins are an institution in Atlanta, and occasionally pop up elsewhere (Evansville, Indiana and Columbia, South Carolina come to mind), and they were “fast food” before there was fast food. Now they seem to be expanding in Atlanta, and while the classic original locations are the best for their architectural value, the new ones have an attractive retro look as well. The burgers are good too, and at a reasonable price.
