Eating Right at Ted's Most Best

As the New Year kicked off, my desire to become healthier did as well. Eating healthy on a college student's budget can be a challenge, especially when wanting to dine out. A friend recommended that I try the new restaurant Ted's Most Best for some "delicious"  healthy food.

Ted's Most Best can be found at 254 W. Washington Street in Downtown Athens, GA in an old tire storage garage. However, the renovations they did on the inside are phenomenal. Ted's was opened in the summer of 2011 and was named after the late Grit owner, Ted Hafer. Since it has been open, their delicious pizzas, salads, and paninis have been enjoyed by many. They strive to get as many locally grown ingredients that they can, which is beneficial to both the community and one's health. You can even get your favorite beer and wine to go along with your meal.

So when venturing out to try this new restaurant, I was pleased when I walked up to a building with dazzling lights on the outside, and a beautiful chic inside. The atmosphere was very cozy, and the staff was very friendly. The middle garage door was opened when I went, which allowed the beautiful weather to be enjoyed by all.

Their menu included a multitude of healthy yet delicious foods to choose from. Me being a pizza connoisseur, I made the right decision when choosing the Margherita Pizza with fresh basil and mozzarella.

Ted's Most Best has definitely become a spot I frequently dine for both lunch and dinner with my friends. The eclectic and inviting atmosphere is something I always look forward to, but their food is something you'll definitely crave!

Being an Adult Means Playing Trivia Every Chance You Get

If you're looking for pizza AND trivia, I suggest Johnny's on the East side. The food is pretty standard for a pizza place, but the weekly trivia game is a must. The vibe is relaxed due to a healthy rotation of regulars, locals, and upperclassmen. They have appetizers and domestic pitchers ($4.95!!) on sale that night as well.

We've been going to Johnny's almost every Tuesday since February and have gotten to know a bunch of the regular teams. Invariably, we can always count on at least one of them to shout out the answer, one to pull out their smart phones on every question, and one to have the coolest name. This week ours was "Sorry for Partying..." (aka: Focusing on Italian homework and watching the Braves/Nationals game) Apparently we were doing a little too much partying, coming in dead last this week. It's cool though, we always have a great time. Below is a picture of our score card.

I like this weekly game for two BIG reasons.
1. You can sometimes weasel a few extra points out of the trivia master if you come up with the most creative answer.
-"Sequoia is the wrong answer."
-"No, that's the Latin name for Redwood."
My plea for points was like pulling up for that half-court shot with 2 seconds left on the clock, 68-67. I am not Lebron James.
2. Controversial questions usually end in an iPhone battle of epic proportions. Like this question:
"What is the name of the princess in the Super Mario series?"
The answer to this question is obviously Princess Peach Toadstool. Every single team wrote this answer, and every team got it wrong. You can imagine the uproar.

Hope to see you there next week! Bring your game face :)
