Stereotypes are made to be broken... and conformed with. Kenny hails from the Dirty South, aka the Dirty Dirty or, simply, Atlanta. He ventured out here for a restart in life. What better place than a city linked mythologically to resurrection? Kenny has a penchant for all things creative. Art, music, homemade gin and tonics, architecture, writing and sweet tea are all important aspects of the world of Kenny Bump. You will catch him strolling Downtown for that evasive perfect meal, or to just to mingle with the peeps at a First Friday.

He currently resides in the Garfield district.
Sips and Grub | The Lynwood Palmer at SideBar
I had heard of a cool bar that is tucked away at 7th Avenue and McDowell. I suppose SideBar is my diamond in the rough, and that gives it a huge lead on every other place. Now I just have to find it again.
Sips and Grub | The House Beer at The Roosevelt Tavern
I must preface this with the fact that I am a beer snob. I like my brew to be awesome. That is my only requirement.
Sips and Grub | The Sorrel at Breadfruit
While perusing the Breadfruit menu, I felt the urge to enjoy something truly unique. Lucky for this old soul, the wait staff was more than kind to point my hankerin’ stomach towards the Sorrel.
Sips and Grub | Pepper-Crusted Flat Iron Steak at St. Francis
It was suggested that this night of adventure needed to kick off right. Thus, the lavish, new St. Francis was selected for its holy name, apparently.
Sips and Grub | The Picoso at Gallo Blanco Café
My quest this week was to find the holy grail of summer drinks, the Picoso, a muddled highball concoction of tequila, pineapple, fiery jalapeño and citrus.
Sips and Grub | Cup of Sweet Toast at Welcome Diner
For this wondrous journey, I didn’t even need to leave my neighborhood. The Garfield District is blessed with one of those rare finds, the Welcome Diner.
Sips and Grub | Hanny’s Pimm’s Cup
The aroma of ginger is strong as I take my first sip. So smooth. That sweet ginger mixed with apples, oranges and limes… oh my! I feel like I might be all right with this deliciousness.
