Your weekend in food, 2/17-2/19
Even though it looks like we may get a little rain this weekend, there are some foodie events around town worth breaking out your galoshes and parkas. If you time everything right, with a little dedication, hitting all three is possible and would make for a nice little rainy Saturday. All three events are either partially indoors or will include tents to keep everyone dry. Check ‘em out…
Parish’s 4th annual Mardi Gras Celebration
When:
Saturday, February 18th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where:
PARISH: Foods & Goods
240 N. Highland Avenue
Atlanta, 30307
This all you can eat and drink Mardi Gras celebration at Inman Park’s Parish is always a good time, featuring a slew of Cajun food like crawfish, New Orleans Sandwiches, oysters, red beans and rice, house made king cake, and a whole roasted hog. Wash it all down at the Abita beer truck while listening to a live band. Tickets are $40 at the door.
Liberty Park Chili Society 5th Annual Chili Cook-Off
When:
Saturday, February 18th from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Where:
5 Seasons – Westside
1000 Marietta St NW # 204
Atlanta, 30318
Local blogger Jimmy Sobeck and Aaron Weil are throwing their annual chili cook-off again this weekend, and moving the party to a new venue, the Westside 5 Seasons Brewing. Categories will include Best Unusual, Spiciest, and Best Overall. Tickets are $20, and include “a few beers”, access to the entire upstairs of 5 Seasons, and a whole lot of chili to sample. Proceeds this year will benefit Hands On Atlanta.
SweetWater’s 15th Anniversary Party
When:
Saturday, February 18th from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m
Where:
SweetWater Brewing Company
195 Ottley Drive
Atlanta, 30324
Celebrating “15 years of heady beers”, Atlanta’s biggest brewing success story is throwing a party this Saturday, and dusting off an impressive back catalog of their brews. In addition to a special 15th anniversary ale, which is a barley wine makeover of their original ESB recipe, they are busting out brews like their ’08 Festive Ale (which seriously ages well…I still have a bottle of ’09 I’m waiting to get into), the Dank Tank brews, and the 420 IPA. You can see a full list of the featured beers on their Facebook Event page.

Public Service Announcement: if you attend the Sweetwater event, please DO NOT hold up the ticket line by purchasing souvenirs when you first arrive. You know you’re just going to be awkwardly carrying around a t-shirt and maybe some coasters for 4 hours, and you’re going to slow down the rest of us who just want to pay quickly and get a beer. There is a reason museums put the gift shops at the exit, so BE RESPECTFUL of the thirsty people in line behind you and wait!
