Midtown Review: Highland Bakery

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 0



Since Highland Bakery decided to open their doors in Midtown earlier this month, I have been hearing constant excitement about this place. I have never heard the words "pimento cheese" as much as I have these past few weeks when I ask people about this new bakery. So I decided it was about time that I venture over there to check this place out! Highland Bakery sits right at the intersection of 14th Street and Crescent and serves both breakfast and lunch. Breakfast items include a hot breakfast tray with egg, meat and cheese, homemade cinnamon rolls, quiches and frittatas, as well as their Highland French Toast and the Sweet Potato Pancakes which are lightly sweet, southern style pancakes served with warm caramelized brown sugar syrup and toasted pecans. I visited Highland Bakery for lunch and asked a few of my followers online what they recommended. Of course, I heard the words "pimento cheese" from mostly everyone but also was recommended their grilled cheese with vermont white cheddar on Rosemary Garlic bread with tomatoes and thickly cut bacon. There are also options to add sprouts or avocado onto this sandwich. So I took everyone's suggestions and ordered the grilled cheese while my favorite lunch date, my dad, ordered the pimento cheese. He likes to consider himself a pimento cheese conoisseur (which is slightly embarrassing) but I knew he could conquer this pimento cheese sandwich and give me his "expert" review. Let's just say I could barely hold him off long enough to get a picture of his pimento cheese sandwich before he dived in. He loved it! And even though he got it without the tomatoes (which normally come on the sandwich), he said it was one of the most flavorful pimento cheese sandwiches he has had in a long time!! My grilled cheese was AAAMAZING. Seriously, amazing. The rosemary bread added the perfect compliment to the cheese, thick bacon, and fresh tomatoes!

And this isn't your typical bakery either. Highland Bakery provides other lunch options besides sandwiches such as shrimp and grits, grilled salmon, chicken pot pie with roasted chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes cooked in a pie shell until golden brown, jumbo lump crab cakes, and many many more "non-traditional" bakery menu items!
You can also spice up those otherwise boring monday morning office meetings with their catering options as well.

Check out Highland Bakery's full menu here and try them out for breakfast or lunch! You might just become a pimento cheese conoisseur yourself :)

WE'LL "HAVANAOTHER" CUBAN SANDWICH AT THE NEW CRAZY CUBAN IN MIDTOWN
There's a pressing matter we have to discuss: what the recent opening of the new Crazy Cuban at 290 14th Street, NW means for Midtowners and Georgia Techies. It means they can now dash out to the bright blue storefront and pick up their favorite varieties of freshly pressed Cuban sandwiches ($2.75 - $5.75) for weekday lunch. They also can order and grab these addicting sandwiches for the entire office (or class) by emailing their choices for 10 or more sandwiches and their desired pick-up time to mailto:aldo@crazycubansandwich.comby 4 p.m. on the day prior. Atlantans can also take advantage of the eatery's espresso "Cubano" shots. Now thanks to native Miamian and "Crazy Cuban" Aldo Ramirez, inboxes, class assignments and dry cleaning are not the only pressing matters in Midtown. The Crazy Cuban presses the city's best hot Cuban sandwiches Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Crazy Cuban: 290 14th Street, NW; 404-607-7348.

Y'ALL "COME SASHIMI" AT RA SUSHI
The clever staff at always rockin' RA Sushi in Midtown invites you to "Come Sashimi" during July -- which translates to "y'all come" in Southern speak. First, "Come Sashimi" at their colorful Facebook page to discover the secret phrase of the week (hint, it's in the cute box). Then, "Come Sashimi" at RA Sushi and mention the phrase when you order to receive a complimentary item of the week. Example: a recent posting showed "Hot Mess" as the secret phrase redeemable for a complimentary order of steamed and salted edamame. What will this week bring? "Come Sashimi" and find out!

Time to Dust Off Your Grass Skirt and Bust Out Those Hula Hips!

The evening will also include a raffle with prize giveaways at 8 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. (tickets are only $5 and benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta) for the chance to snag treasures such as Braves tickets and a Tomahawk Chop roll dinner at RA Sushi and a sushi and sake party for 10 people.
