    Southern Blogger #Friendsgiving at American Cut

    Eating with Erica’s #Friendsgiving has become a tradition for Atlanta bloggers!

    One of the greatest connections I’ve made among the Atlanta media network is Erica Key from Eating with Erica.

    Erica has the #HustleMuscle which provides her incredible opportunities, such as bringing in a group of her favorite Atlanta bloggers and Southern social media rockstars for a free steakhouse dinner! Eating with Erica’s Friendsgiving is now in its second year. I had to miss out on the fun last year, and I wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice. Our group had a fabulous time at the new American Cut steakhouse.

    I’ve been on pins and needles waiting for American Cut to open in the Shops at Buckhead on Peachtree. Y’all know the new Rodeo Drive of the South, right? American Cut is the newest steakhouse to grace Atlanta’s fine dining scene. From LDV Hospitality (a la Dolce and Corso Coffee also located in the Buckhead shops) it’s a much-welcome addition to the restaurant options on Peachtree.

    All of our courses were served family style; after all, it was Friendsgiving! Here’s what we noshed on:

    And of course, there was steak. The filet mignon was cooked to medium rare perfection. If you’re wondering what is the best way to cook filet mignon, you can ask renowned chefs.

    For dessert, we were offered a selection of house sweets. My favorite was the caramel sundae with cracker jacks

    Erica also put together the best blogger swag bag of 2016!

    The theme for this year’s swag bag was “Things to Get You Through the Holidays”. Those items were courtesy of DoubleCross, Lush, Candlefish, BlackBox Wine, Sephora, Prairie Organic Vodka, and LDV Hospitality.

    The best part of #Friendsgiving was spending time with these beautiful Atlanta bloggers!
