When we’re headed to Johnson City, I usually ask the kids where they want to eat.  Why?  Why do I do that to myself?  It’s just the start of a big argument where someone (usually at least me) is going to end up unhappy.   But then there came Atlanta Bread Company.  This has become one of the few places I can count on the kids agreeing upon, and enthusiastically so!  We first went to ABC after visiting Wallabies.  It was a rainy night and we just wanted a bowl of hot soup.  There was a band playing and the kids listened while they ate, then afterwards they danced to the music.  We had SO.  MUCH.  FUN!!!!!

Since that night, we have gone back at least three times.  Each time there has been some kind of fun entertainment…….one night it was a balloon guy for the kids!!   And he made really cool balloon animals, like a dolphin for my daughter and a monkey with bananas for my son.  There has been a musician performing every other time.  My kids LOVE listening to the music, and as I’ve said before I think it’s really important to expose them to live performances.   My kids also love the food (no, I don’t go there just because my kids are distracted for a few minutes.  Although that would still be worth it.)    Both of my kids usually get a bowl of soup, but they have grilled cheese and other options too.  The mommy food is really good—-I love the half-and-half options.   The kids get a free cookie with the kid’s meal and I get to eat while they are entertained.  Win-win for all of us.

Next time you are in the Johnson City area, be sure to stop by Atlanta Bread Company.  Let me know what you think of it!
