Fighting Wolves and Other Wild Animals

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Ever since Vancouver decriminalized fresh halibut, there has been no better spot to get your sushi fix in Vancouver than Shiro’s. No joke, the last time I was in Vancouver, I ate at Shiro’s 3 out of the 5 nights I was there. The other two nights, I cried myself to sleep after [...]

Operation Lactose Loop

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

The covert exchange of money for dairy goods and services will occur this weekend. A operative by the name of Kate will meet you at the coordinates of latitude: 40.71983 and longitude: -73.988338. Kate will assume the disguise of a barmaid, but do not approach her with any suspicion of her real identity. [...]

Whynatte in The Sunday Paper

Monday, May 25th, 2009

If you’ve somehow missed Whynatte Latte’s domination of Atlanta, you’re not getting out enough.
Those are the words of writer Kirsten Ott, in this week’s edition of The Sunday Paper.
I would like to dip Kirsten Ott into a barrel of honey and make her into the finest baklava on the planet.
Those are the words of me, [...]

Whynatte in Rolling Out Magazine

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I like rolling as much as the next guy twirling glow sticks at an underground warehouse rave, so you can imagine how pleased I was to see Whynatte featured in nationally distributed Rolling Out Magazine

What’s your gastrological symbol? I’m a Cancer. What’s your favorite gastropub? Mine is Spitzer’s Corner in NYC, where Whynattes [...]

THURSDAY NIGHT IN ATL

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Come shake your hot grilled panini tomorrow night at the Star Bar, as Whynatte and Pop Death Squad present the monthly Big Trouble in Little 5 Points. With their monthly Big Trouble in Little 5 Points party, the Pop Death Squad has consistently showcased (for free) the best up-and-coming music in Atlanta. With [...]

How Many Whynattes in the Warehouse?

Monday, May 18th, 2009

We were just loitering around the Whynatte warehouse, sharing lactose tips, and talking about the largest numbers that we know.
As we walked back into the office, we passed by the mountain of Whynatte kept on hand in the warehouse. Diwang Valdez, always curious about things, turned to me and asked, “How many lattes are [...]

Depository Buildings

Monday, May 18th, 2009

This photo of the University of Kentucky is great, but would be much better with some combination of naked Brazilian chicks, poisonous snakes biting kids, or skeletons wearing wetsuits while propped up and made to look like marine biologists.
This is just my own personal opinion, but you can judge for yourself:

Whynatte Presents: The Local vs. The Albert

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

We’ve started getting bored with pitting our interns against one another, and have finally graduated to pitting entire bars against one another. While it was neat to watch two high school seniors beating each other down in a cage, it’s even more fun to make lifelong nemesis’ out of once friendly bartenders.
The Local, a [...]

DAiRy DoLLaR$$$$

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Our company’s frequent thug card recently received three stamps, as we stopped by the set of the Soulja Boy video shoot here in Atlanta. In one of Soulja Boy’s recent hits, he gives out his actual cell phone number: (678) 999-8212. Okay, that’s pretty bold giving out your cell number to millions of [...]

Properly Marinated Brisket

My list of humans that I would like to take on an all expenses paid vacation to the island of Capri just got three names longer:

Tomorrow We Will Give Away 300 Shots

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Whynatte is giving away 300 shots? We must be on horse tranquilizers. Shocker, we’re not on tranquilizers, but we will happily be on them if you drop them off at the Whynatte HQ.
Tomorrow we are a sponsor of a “pub crawl” as it’s so called by the kids these days. The pub crawl [...]

Follow the Master

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Like a Native American chief leading his tribe on a vision quest, it is sometimes the role of the CEO to lead new participants through their first experience with Whynatte. One’s initial foray into the spiritual underworld of grab-and-go dairy can be a daunting road to walk alone, and we at Whynatte understand the [...]

Tahoe Hybrid Contest

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Andy and I were driving the Whynatte Tahoe Hybrid to the petting zoo yesterday, when we looked over and saw another couple driving a Tahoe Hybrid of their own. “I wish I could give that couple a Whynatte,” I said to myself. Well, this contest is our indirect method of actually giving that [...]

Julius Erving Drinks a Whynatte Latte

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

One of the highlights of my relatively young career in the dairy business occurred this past weekend, as I watched Julius Erving throw back a Whynatte. Seeing Dr. J toss back a Whynatte reminded me of how bad I am at basketball, how short I am compared to most humans, and how many [...]

Yours Truly on CNN.com

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Story Highlights:
- Atlanta man stays with friends while on business, leaves presents as thanks
- Atlanta man builds robot in his likeness, and sends robot to destroy sushi restaurant that got him sick
