  • Atlanta’s Top Dog? The Labrador Retriever

    1 Min Read

    It’s a dog eat dog world out there, but in Atlanta, it’s a Lab’s world, as in Labrador Retriever! The breed once again took Atlanta’s top woof in the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) 2017 ranking of the most popular dog breeds in the country.

    The Lab came in No. 1 in Buffalo and Nashville, underscoring just how popular the pups are. Rounding out the top five in Atlanta were bulldogs (of course).

     The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was knocked out of the city’s top five, but joined the Yorkshire Terriers, Boxers and Rottweilers in the top 10.

    “The Labrador Retriever held strongly to the number one spot in Atlanta,” AKC Executive Secretary Gina DiNardo said in a statement. “But the Bulldog is certainly pawing its way up the ranks, landing only one place behind its cousin, the French Bulldog.”

    Standouts on the menu include Pork Belly & Polenta gravy, italian polenta, toasted almonds, spiced raisin, Pan Seared Snapper with creamy pea risotto, arugula, shaved fennel, lemon and Cavatell Massimo (lobster meat, grape tomato, spinach, cream sauce).

  • Atlanta United Squares Off Against Minnesota

    3 Min Read

    Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis figures to be a barn burner as Atlanta United and Minnesota United look to face off in a battle of upstarts. Both squads began their inaugural season in 2017, one with considerably more fanfare than the other.

    Atlanta was not only new last year, but good. They reached the postseason and boasted a boisterous crowd that set attendance records for all but one MLS club. Still, many around the league want to know if they’re for real.

    Atlanta United vs. Minnesota United

    At Mercedes-Benz Stadium, AUTD players are focused on the task at hand. “I don’t know that [our goals] have changed, they’ve just maybe gotten a little bit loftier,”  technical director Carlos Bocanegra told ESPN. “The realistic goal and challenge is to be in that conversation and be challenging for the Cup every year.”

    The Minnesota club stands in utter contrast to the immediate success experienced by Atlanta.

    “We are a long, long way from where I want — and where the club wants — us to be,” Minnesota coach Adrian Heath was quoted by ESPN FC as saying. “That is just the reality of where we are at this point in time. We live in a here-and-now world. Everybody wants to go on reality TV and be a star overnight. Nobody wants to put in the work that takes years.”

    Atlanta’s Josef Martinez is No. 1 in the league in goals scored (four) and Miguel Almiron is tops in shot attempts (22). That bodes well for the Five Stripes.

    Last season, Atlanta beat Minnesota in its home-opener 6-1, something they’re trying to avoid this time around.

    Atlanta is coming from a week off after winning back-to-back matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, they head up north for what promises to be a fairly frigid evening.

    Here’s how to keep up with the match
