Are you ready for some football? Hell yeah!
Here are some restaurants to watch the big game this Sunday!
What's up!!!
As many of you
know, I am a rabid sports fan and it’s almost football time! From doing the time-robbing
fantasy leagues, to simply rooting for a favorite team, here are some spots to
do some serious tailgating in Atlanta especially during the Falcons vs.
Saints game at 1 p.m., September 1. Whatever it's STATS right
down the street from the Georgia Dome, to the new Smokebelly BBQ
in Buckhead, get your eating and sipping on while yelling at the top of your lungs
to kick off the NFL’s first week this Sunday.
These
descriptions came directly from the source, so see which destination works best
for you. They all sound pretty damn enticing.
Cheers!
