You’ve heard of breakfast for dinner, but how about Brunch at Dusk? Shula’s 347 Grill in Buckhead hosted several members of the Atlanta Food Blogger’s Society for a preview of their “Legendary Weekends on the Patio” brunch menu featuring their tableside Bloody Marys.As each guest arrived, they were treated to a custom-made Bloody Mary which started with housemade pepper-infused vodka and was topped with a selection of toppings which included spicy sweet pickles, pepperoncini, pickled okra, cipollini, fresh cucumbers, olives, lemons, limes, celery sticks and rosemary sprigs.
As we sipped these enticing cocktails, the chef manned the grill and took orders for the featured menu items of steak and eggs, eggs benedict and French toast with berries. The eggs Benedict made with Canadian bacon, griddled egg and hollandaise was a nice rendition of the breakfast classic. The French toast, however, was noteworthy with an excellent texture not leathery or soggy as some can be. The fresh berries and real maple syrup made for a lovely dish.
Once done eating, we had the opportunity to mingle on the modern bistro-style patio, even in the heat of a late June afternoon; the shaded patio was a nice venue to socialize. Trays of kiwi, raspberry and strawberry mousse were passed around the patio. These sweet little apps were a divine way to finish a pleasant evening.To experience Shula’s legendary brunch for yourself, head to the Atlanta Marriott at 3405 Lenox Road in Buckhead any Saturday or Sunday from 1:00am to 3:00pm.
