What restaurant serves up fun for you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you’re tired of going to restaurants where all you do is eat, maybe it’s time to try something different.
The city has plenty of places that make you feel like you’re anywhere but Atlanta. A trip to Dante’s Down the Hatch is the next best thing to dining on the high seas, with its sailing ship and full-size pirate mannequin. If visiting Morocco is more your thing, there’s Imperial Fez, where you can eat couscous with your hands while belly dancers entertain you. Or you could head to Trader Vic’s and sample one of the 65-plus cocktails they have on their menu.
See our story on three such places and photos of them and more.
So where do you go when you long for a culinary escape?

Flav ups the ante with more contestants
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So, apparently in Flav’s world, hot breath is more problematic than being a hot mess.
Shy is gone. I’m still in shock. As much as I like Hotlanta, it’s clear she has too much drama with her kids and ex-boyfriend back home in Marietta.
Shy at least — despite needing $22,000 worth of dental work to fix her teeth and gums — gave it her all and seemed to be there for Flav. He definitely didn’t make the right choice in booting Shy last night, in my book. (And he still is keeping those twin gargoyles. It’s a lot easier to solve a bad breath problem than it is to fix the chronically ugly.)
To add to the drama, Flav brought in four new girls. Yikes!!
Last night’s challenge — the six remaining girls had to pose/model for a sexy calendar — had me thinking about a recurring critique some of you guys have made about the Flavor of Love series: That it demeans women, black women in particular.
I wonder why one television show would have the power to do that?
The Rock of Love, another VH1 searching-for-love reality show starring has-been rocker Bret Michaels, has a bunch of white women clamoring after him. But I don’t think anyone would say that those women are representative of all white women.
How does the Flavor of Love and similarily-themed Rock of Love tarnish the image of women? And, what’s your take on the last episode? Who’s the frontrunner at this point? Who should have been sent home by now?
