Hallowestside Festival

Join us at 5 Seasons Westside (next door to Green Olive headquarters) on Sunday Oct 25th for a .5K race (yes, point five K) and all-day halloween festival. We're most looking forward to the tapping of the 300-pound beer-filled pumpkin. Click the photo below for complete details.

Matchbook Design

We're always trying to convince clients to let us design matches when we're working on a new brand...looks like they're coming back into fashion. See here for a nice piece from the New york Times. The photo below is apparently from the 'Danny Meyer restaurants' section of our collection.

Cheeseburger At The Bean Pot - Crossville, TN

Behold the cheeseburger from The Bean Pot, on that long stretch of I-40 between Nashville and Knoxville. Country ham was top-notch, too. We'll be stopping here again soon, hopefully on a Monday for the fried chicken special.Country ham:

City House - Nashville, TN

City House gets better every time we go...the Sunday Supper this week featured an entire menu section of 'Pork Snacks' - the crispy ears and the heart were the way to go. Cannellini bean pizza was another highlight...

Poster Design - Rosebud

Rosebud Restaurant usually gives us free reign when designing their posters...here's a recent one for a benefit for Georgia farm flood victims...

Pimento Cheese Burger - JCT Kitchen, Atlanta, GA

No commentary here...I think the photo speaks for itself. Give us a call if your burgers need photographing...

Menu Design

I like the design of the new menu at Fox Bros. BBQ in Atlanta...it's approaching the craziness of the world's most insane menu at Shopsin's...

Antico Pizza Napoletana - Atlanta, GA

Yet another worthy addition to the Westside dining scene...Antico has been open about a week, and we had a great Margherita pie there yesterday. I believe they make theirs according to the rules set by the Pizza Police (or, here's their official link). We finally have great pizza by the office...set up your next meeting with us around lunchtime if you want to give it a try...

"The way I see it, just because they live in Parma, or in Germany, or anywhere else, doesn't mean that they can produce a better ham than a bunch of farm boys from Tennessee can."

See below for some photos from one of our many trips to the smokiest place on earth...
