I’ve got another restaurant experience to tell you about. It was so good that I just have to share! Matt parents took us to the Iberian Pig in Decatur when they were visiting. ALL the tapas were devine, so there’s really no need for me to tell you how delicious, fabulous, unique, mouth-watering each dish was. I’ll just leave you with the description of what I tried, and know that any positive adjective would probably fit:)
Drunken goat cheese (soaked in red wine), goat’s milk cheese from Valencia, and chorizo with smoked paprika with sauce pairings (sweet and savory)
Tortolini stuffed with drunken goat cheese, manchego, and paprika – served with a pistachio pesto cream, golden raisins, and pine nuts
Flatbread with serrano ham, chorizo cantimpalo, salchichon, shaved manchego cheese, pistachio and arugula
Manchego mac & cheese with manchego-pork belly cream, butter toasted panko, and thyme
Ravioli stuffed with slow braised veal shank – served with a Rioja-cream sauce, black truffle crème fraiche, white truffle oil, roasted shitake mushrooms, and fresh thyme
Wild boar sausage meatballs stuffed with piquillo peppers, Macedonian dates, and roasted tomatoes with a pimenton crème sauce and oyster mushrooms
Braised crispy pork belly with chickpea puree & sherry-honey gastrique
I may just move right on over to Decatur! Such a delicious town.

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
Food looks fab. The tortellini remind me of sea creatures!
The tapas look incredible. I’m not sure if Iberian Pig had these, but one of my favorite tapas restaurants has these AMAZING fried goat cheese balls drizzled in honey and topped with lavender. They were divine.
I saw those on another menu and I’m dying to try them!
Hi!
I just nominated you for two blogger awards over on my site, please check them out and thank you for all of the delicious recommendations!

Im a spanish reader, actually from Valencia, like the cheese haha. I´m glad you enjoyed our food, next time you have to taste it in Spain!
Oh, i’d loooove to eat that cheese in Valencia!!!!
Hi! I just wanted to recommend you try a restaurant called “Fritti” in the highlands area of ATL-they have phenomenal pizzas made by an Italian certified pizza chef! Great place for a casual date night!!
So excited for this restaurant! The husband and I checked out the menu when we were wandering through Decatur and knew we’d have to come back once we move.
