Hardy Wallace

A big congratulations goes out to Hardy Wallace, who just won an awesome six-month job!

Hardy will spend six months in Sonoma County, California, as a Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent for the Murphy-Goode Winery.  Not only is the job aswesome, but the pay is great, too: $10,000 a month!

Hardy is no stranger to the “wine correspondent” gig.  He has a very well-known blog called Dirty South Wine.

Last week, I did a story on Hardy and his efforts to win the competition.  Here’s the video:

It’s not really an admirable mission, like donating more of my time and treasure to deserving organizations and causes.  But, it’s a fun goal that I am excitedly tackling every (almost) Friday.

Since my Catholic faith prohibits me from enjoying meat on Friday’s during Lent, I have decided that this is a great time to find out who has the best fish tacos in Buckhead.

So far, I’ve only been able to check out two places: La Fonda (on Peachtree Street) and Tin Lizzy’s (on Piedmont Road).

So far, the fish tacos at La Fonda are my favorite. I went with the tilapia, but they also offer salmon.  The spicy sauce make these tacos delicious.

Tin Lizzy's Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos

Tin Lizzy’s run a close second.  Shea, Kelly, Nick and I dined there two weekends ago.  Shea and I both opted for the special of the evening, mahi mahi fish tacos.  The tacos come with an assortment of salsas, both vegetable and cream based.  But, I found them to be not quite as spicey and flavorful as those at La Fonda’s.

On a side note, the margarita’s at Tin Lizzy’s are pretty awesome.  But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad margarita!

So far, here’s my ranking of Buckhead’s fish tacos:

1. La Fonda
2. Tin Lizzy’s

Where should I try next?
