Omnivore Atlanta

It’s time for your annual fix of New Mexico green chilies. All locations of Taqueria del Sol are stocked with them and are offering chile rellenos at dinner only.

Lance Gummere, chef at the Shed on Glenwood, continues to produce new riffs on the slider every Wednesday night, when the restaurant offers sliders for $3 each.

Are you a Krystal hog? Then be sure to show up at 1 p.m. on Sun., Sept. 13, at Lenox Square:

At the Krystal Square Off VI Atlanta Qualifier,
professional and amateur eaters will battle it out to see who can
consume the most Krystal Burgers and Big Angus Burgers in an 8-minute
eating contest. For the first time in Krystal Square Off history,
eaters will contend with two new rule changes—Big Angus Burger Bonus
Points and a No Dunking policy—that drastically alter the face of the
competition and have forced eaters to rethink their strategies.

And once again, five amateur hopefuls will be chosen on the spot an
hour before the qualifying eating contest to go head-to-head and
bite-to-bite against professional eaters. The winner of this event
earns one of the 12 coveted seats at the final table of the Krystal
Square Off VI World Hamburger Eating Championship, where the top
eaters compete for a whopping $50,000 in cash prizes, the largest cash
purse in competitive eating history
