On Monday, Food 101 officially becomes the hardwood-floored, banquet-area'd Rosebud (named for one of Jerry Garcia's custom guitars), retaining favorites like Wild Georgia shrimp & grits while adding new edibles like the vanilla-and-sage-grilled Riverview Farms Pork Loin Medallion w/ smoked bacon-creamed cabbage, peach BBQ jus, and grilled cobia w/ “corn off the cob”, which will totally blow your mind, man.

Andrews Upstairs is dropping 50 tons of sand outside for a two-day beach fest with flip cup and beer pong, pizza from Sal's, BBQ from Engine 33 (an old fire engine restored into a kitchen on wheels), specialty drinks from Coconut Jack Rum and Sweet Carolina Sweet Tea Vodka, and 24oz beers for $4. There'll be a free shuttle to the Lenox Mall fireworks show on Sat, plus live music starting at 2pm with ATL rock bands Money $hott, and Drivin’ N Cryin’, which you'll be doing after asking your date to join you at the other band's afterparty.

Featuring brick walls, antique French factory lamps, B&W photos of NY, and claiming the only genuine coal-burning oven in GA, Max's serves 1,000-degree-charred NY-style pies and slices, from build-your-owns to the Bianca (ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, confit garlic, & fresh basil), all boasting housemade cheese and the NY-bred chef's family recipe sauce. There's also pasta, sandwiches, coal-oven-baked Lemon Pepper Parmesan Wings, and housemade gelato, plus a full booze selection, six reds and six whites, and taps like Sweetwater, Peroni, Terrapin, and Numbers Ale, which sadly is no excuse for accountants to get boozed up at lunch.
