One of my favorite things to do is peruse local farmers markets for the freshest produce and unique goods. I try to do my part to support the local farmers in the area and the sustainability movement. That is why when I was sifting through some old emails and found this
Atlanta Magazine Farmer's Market Guide, I was so excited I had to share.

When prepping for a visit to L5P's Porter Beer Bar one would typically hoard a handful of George Washingtons to dole out in exchange for a Flensburger Weizen, a Lagunitas Pilsner or a Maudite. The beer selection is plentiful and diverse with affordable choices to quench your thrifty thirst.
On my last visit, I was pleasantly surprised to see an affordable menu to match and inspired to boot. The cup of melon soup ($2.50) peaked my interest and I was happy to note that savory soup doesn't have to be just a wintertime indulgence. This chilled melon version hit the spot amid the steamy city this summer. Treading in a sea of perfectly textured melon soup is an island of goat cheese, melted to a perfect creamy consistency. The tangy, citrusy flavor of the cheese was a perfect complement to the chilled melon.
Think you can top that culinary steal? Comment below on what it is and have a chance to have your food find written about on 3buckbites.com. You will also be entered into a pool to win $100! Contest ends 9/11 at midnight.

If I lived in the reality of my happy place, Korean bakery Cafe Mozart would be supplying my bottomless supply of sweet goods. As a naive American when it comes to Korean bakeries, the quirky treats had me browsing with intrigue for several ticks of time.
