What To Know Before You Order Your Steak In Atlanta
Before you order your porterhouse or strip steak in Atlanta, you should know some things about it. Here are some facts about steaks that you probably didn’t know.
- The best steaks are USDA prime steaks. USDA prime steak is the highest grade of meat sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
- Ask Them if they freeze their steaks: The choicest cuts of meat should be fresh, never frozen. This creates a tenderness that you’ll love and savor with each bite.
- Ask them if they ‘age’ their steaks: The best quality steaks are wet-aged (sealed in a vacumm-tight bag for weeks) or dry-aged (stored in air-controlled coolers for weeks) for texture and flavor solvency.
Last Word
Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, well-cooked steak? Thankfully, Atlanta restaurants have some great options.
A nice steak is one of the most tasty, juicy and satisfying meals you can enjoy. Thankfully, Atlanta’s restaurants have plenty of steaks on the menu.
What ever steakhouse you choose to dine at, remember to tip your waiter generously. They’ve had a hard time in the COVID pandemic.
Atlanta has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, and with state of Southern cooking and an emphasis on the culinary arts at an all-time high, that’s saying something.
When Atlanta’s food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to sweet tea and fried chicken, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.
European-inspired restaurants, Mediterranean fare and Asian fusion all can be found in a 2-mile area of Midtown Atlanta, if we’re being honest. Venture up north a bit into Buckhead and you’ll have some of the best steakhouses as well as fast-casual spots in the city.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, former Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade speaks out for the first time since being ousted in the Trump election interference case.
In the interview, Wade says that workplace relationships are “as American as apple pie.”
Wade was chosen by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to help prosecute Trump and 19 co-defendants. After much scrutiny and allegations of impropriety from opposed Republicans, Willis and Wade admitted to having a romantic relationship.
Wade, who has worked on divorce and other civil cases in Atlanta for years, said that when he was brought on the Trump case and began to work side by side with Willis in her office, their colleague-to-colleague friendship turned into something more.
“It happens to everyone. It happened to the two of us,” he told ABC.
After the much publicized hearing to determine whether Willis’ office would be removed from the case, the judge ruled that their relationship was not illegal.
As a compromise, the judge ruled that if Wade left the case, the case could go forward in Fulton County. Wade chose to step aside from the case.
When asked whether he regretted the relationship, Wade said, “I hate that my personal life has begun to overshadow the true issues in the case,” he said.
For her part, Willis had been unapologetic about the hubris and continues to press forward in her prosecution of Trump, despite criticism and even death threats.
Speaking to a church in January, Willis said that she is far from perfect.
““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.“We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”

Is your budget starting to tighten? You’re not alone. To counter that, it may be time to look at your daily expenses and see where you can cut back.
Your station in life or how high your income is has little to do with how much you can save. It has to do with the specific strategies you put in place.
How To Save Money On A Low Income
You don’t have to make a lot of money to save your cash. The key is to be frugal and smart with your money.
First of all, you should jot down all your expenses. The reason why it’s important is because you’d be surprised to learn how much you’re actually spending if you just write it out.
1. Create An Emergency Fund
One of the most important ways to save cash is to take your leftover cash and create an emergency fund. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money.
If you’re able to stash away $20 a week or even a month, it will add up in one year.
Here’s how to save $300 really fast.
2. Reduce Your Cell Phone Data Plan
Let’s face it, you’ve got Wi-Fi at home as well as in the office. In fact, the average cell phone user only uses 1.6 gigabytes a month, by some estimates.So you likely could cut your phone’s data plan to bare bones without much impact.If you’re paying for gobs of data with AT&T or Verizon, you monthly bill is likely $75-$100.Why not check out one of those pre-paid economy plans that give you unlimited data for $45. Two plans that come to mind are Simple Mobile (runs on T-Mobile’s network) and Straight Talk. See more on saving on phone costs.3. Eat What’s In Your Fridge
Most U.S. consumers spend $10 a day on food, which is generous for three meals a day — but what if you could cut that in half?Designate two days a week that you will eat leftovers either for lunch or dinner.Instead of paying $50 a day for food, save $25 of that amount.4. Cancel Old Subscriptions
Sometimes your subscriptions get stale, meaning you don’t use them anymore or as much. That’s why you should do a subscription audit and cancel old ones.
Many people today have a combination of streaming services, which may equal or exceed what they were paying for cable TV.5. Use Digital Or Print Coupons
The next time you see the crazy coupon lady on aisle 7, ask if she’ll teach you a thing or two. Coupons are the easiest way to save money at the grocery store.
You can clip coupons from sales flyers in the store or go online; either way you save money.
Here’s how to save with coupons.
6. Buy In Bulk
Believe it or not if you buy in bulk, you’ll get a better price than if you bought food wrapped individually.
That means places like Sam’s and Costco will get your grocery dollars, but it’ll be worth it.
7. Be Flexible With Your Travel Dates
When it comes to saving money on travel, knowing when and the best time to book your trip is half the battle.
Travel experts say that if you book a flight between 21 and 30 days out, you should be able to get a deal.
But no matter what, it pays to be flexible with your travel dates. Use Google Flights to find wiggle room in the days you plan to travel. You’ll be thankful for the money you save.
8. Fly On A Budget Airline
If you really want to just get there, avoid the United and Deltas of the world by flying on a budget airline. You can save up to 60% on your airfare by choosing low-cost airlines that fly in smaller or regional airports.
Don’t know of any budget airlines? Check out WhichBudget.com to research some carriers.
Here are some of the best budget airlines:
9. Open A Savings Account
One of the most formal ways to put money away is to open a savings account. What’s so attractive about opening a savings account is that you can really gain some ground if your APR is low.
To open a savings account, visit your local bank or credit union.
10 Set A Savings Goal
It would be foolish to think about saving money without a goal in mind. Look at your income and decide how much money you can save each week and each month.If you find that your savings goal is too ambitious, adjust it downward. If you find that it’s too easy, raise it a bit.11. Don’t Spend Extra Money
If you’ve gotten a bonus at work, income tax refund or stimulus money, don’t spend it. Put that money away for a rainy day. If you have to put it in the bank or under the mattress, do that.12. Open A 401(K)
If you can open a 401(K) retirement plan with your employer, please do so. The money is tax-free and can be matched by your employer up to a percentage.
If you’ve worked at a job that matches your 401(K) for years, you can earn a pretty penny.
Here’s what to know about a 401(k).
13. Pay Off Your Credit Cards In Full
If you happen to swipe your credit cards often, that’s OK. The key is to pay off your credit cards at the end of every month.
Not only does paying off your credit cards build your credit, but it means you pay zero interest and can save that money.
14. Designate A ‘No Spend’ Day
Sometimes you have to spend money, but you may find that some days you can go without using your wallet. These “no spend” days can really allow you to save money if they’re done on a regular basis.
15. Turn Off Your AC Or Heat
If the weather is nice, you may be able to turn off your air conditioner or heat. This practice to keep the money you make in your own pocket instead of giving it to the energy company.
Last Words
Saving money may seem like a lot of small steps, but it really is about adopting a lifestyle. Some of the things you can do to pull back your expenses will change your habits for good.
Not only will this help your finances, but it can lead to some real healthy lifestyle changes that benefit you.
If saving money is something you’re serious about, AtlantaFi.com has a lot of resources to help you.Read more: -

The bronzed shells and juicy meat found in Birria tacos can turn an ordinary Tuesday into an exiting extravaganza of Mexican cuisine for lunch or dinner. The only question is where can you find them?
Where Can I Get Birria Tacos In Atlanta?
In this article, we’ll explore several spots around Atlanta where you can buy an authentic birria taco. Once you try a taco at one of these places, you’ll be hooked.
Of course, birria tacos are a relatively new phenomena in Atlanta. You may be wondering where they come from.
Are Birria Tacos Of Mexican Origin?
There’s no dispute that tacos de Birria hail from a particular part of Mexico, Jalisco, to be exact. What makes Birria so good is that it’s actually a meat stew typically made from lamb, mutton or goat.
Birria can also be made with beef (carne de res). No matter what type of meat you use, the key is to use traditional Mexican spices and seasonings like dried chilies.
Eat My Taco/Birria ATL

At Eat My Taco/Birria ATL, they have the “Dipped Reds,” which features birria beef. Here’s what one reviewer says about the place:
“The birria tacos I had were hands down the best birria tacos I have had. I have made birria tacos on my own and these tacos cut it real close to homemade. Although I do not think they used Oaxaca cheese, it was still very tasty. I plan to visit this place again and update with the pictures of their very beautiful birria dishes.”

It was perfectly blended. My husband had 3 pollo asado and I had 1 chorizo, 1 al pastor and 1 pollo asado. I had all of mine naked. They did not disappoint. To have a taco w/o salsa says a lot!!! I believe the Al pastor could’ve used some more flavor but still yummy!”

The series follows the heavyweight fight and criminal underground heist that introduced the world to the city dubbed “the Black Mecca,” and the cop and the hustler at the center of it all. This series is set in Atlanta, GA in the early 1970’s. Please keep in mind the culture and looks that were relevant in this time. You will be cast off looking apart of that time period, not the looks we see today.
