You might have noticed that a bunch of websites were down for most of Monday. It was due to major outages at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Behind the scenes, AWS is powering a lot of the internet.
There’s a good chance your favorite locally-owned restaurant or coffee shop uses Toast. Which means a bunch of East Atlanta restaurants were screwed on Monday. Places like Argosy. Even more reason to go out or order takeout this weekend from your favorite local spot.
The Anthem is made possible in part by El Tesoro. See The Menu.
🇲🇽 Our good friends at El Tesoro are cooking up something special on Monday, 10/27! They’ve partnered with Tequila Leyenda for a 3-course dinner with premium tequila pairings. Tickets are $99 (gratuity included). Email [email protected] for reservations or shoot them a message on Instagram.
🥖 Fred’s Meat and Bread shared their catering menu on Instagram, and I can’t stop thinking about what I would do if I showed up to the function and the host had a box of 24 cheesesteaks just sitting there.
🌭 Red’s Beergarden let some guy named Mark create a Hot Dog of the Month. It features: pickled jalapeños, chopped bacon, chili-lime mayo, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Good thing they have tons of different beers to wash it down with.
🥂 Petit Chou has booze again! We’re not exactly sure what the issue was, but as of yesterday, they are fully licensed and ready to pour.
🍗 Ruby Chows is doing a Fried Chicken Dinner on Sundays now. And dang does it look good…
🤘 Here is a friendly reminder to follow Flatiron on Instagram. The EAV staple posts daily specials on the gram, so we don’t get to share individual dishes here in the Anthem.
🎮 New Realm hosts Pints & Pixels every Wednesday. Imagine sipping on a Hazy Like A Fox, playing some Smash Bros. or Crash Bandicoot on one of the best rooftops in town…
