Had a chance to check out this restaurant. My daughter and I wanted to try something new. This place is in Ponce City Market. It’s been trending on TikTok, the Korean Hotdog. We tried 3 Korean dogs. The first one was sugar coated, the next one was plain, and the last one was half of Half.
My favorite one was the sugar coated one because I like the extra flava on it. It was a little pricey, but the dogs were big.
I can say we finally checked out a Korean Place and I love Ponce city in Atlanta. A great place to try different foods.
Have you checked out this place? What did you think? Do you like Korean Hotdogs? Follow me at @Cece.atl and @Cece.atlbucketlist.
The Great Betty White left us last year on December 31. Betty White was an actress and comedian. We all loved her on the Golden Girls. If you are in the Rochester NY area don’t miss the opportunity to see one of Betty’s Emmy awards for hosting the game show “Just Men”. It’s on display at The Strong Museum in Adam’s Atrium. Did you know that Betty White was the first woman to

I love quotes here are some of Betty White Quote that inspires us:
“Everybody needs a passion. That’s what keeps life interesting. If you live without passion, you can go through life without leaving any footprints.”
“If you’re able to make someone’s day then do it, because this world needs more love & kindness.”
“Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.”
Betty White became a staple panelist of American game shows such as:

As you know we lost a lot of people over the years, but we have so many memories and they have left an impact on our lives. I want to shout out James Brown today. He was known as the “Godfather of Soul” “Mr. Dynamite” and “Soul Brother”. He was an awesome entertainer. Some of my favorite songs by him was:
· It’s a Man’s Man’s World
· Get Up Offa That Thing
· I Got a Feeling
· Say IT Loud-I’m Black and I’m Proud
· I Got You
· Get On the Good Foot
Did you know that Get on The Good Foot was certified Gold by the RIAA! Recorded at Sound craft Studios in Georgia, the song features Fred Wesley on trombone and Fred Thomas on Bass. James Brown also had a bridge dedicated to his honor and legacy in Steamboat Springs, Colorado!
Three of his quotes are:
“Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things, he’s got it all”.
“You got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else”
“Sometimes I feel like I’m a preacher as well, cause I can really get into an audience”
What I really love about James Brown is that he can dance. I love great entertainers. He was a legendary showman and musician. Some of his famous dance moves were “The Camel Walk”, “The Popcorn” and “The James Brown”. He was also inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame. He worked at many radio stations throughout his career. Did you know that in 1966 James Brown won his first Grammy Award for the hit “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” in the best Rhythm & Blues Recording category.
Make sure to go watch “Get on Up” Film about the life of the singer James Brown. Tell us what your favorite song or moment by James Brown is.
We have lost a lot of people, but we have so many memories. Do you remember Robin Williams, he was an actor and comedian. He played in these movies:
· Mrs. Doubtfire
· Dead Poets Society
· Jumanji
· Night at the Museum
· Aladdin
· Hook
· Flubber
I just found out that in every movie he filmed he asked the production company to hire at least 10 homeless people. During his entire career, he helped approximately 1520 homeless people. I thought this was absolutely awesome. We never really hear about the good that people have done in the community. Here were some of his favorite quotes that I loved.
“Don’t associate yourself with toxic people”
“There’s a world out there….”
“The only weapon we have is the comedy”
What was your favorite movie that Robin Williams was in? What did you love about Robin Williams? I challenge you to watch 1 movie that he was in today and tell me about it. Even if you watched it before, just go back and watch one movie by him. I am going to watch “The Night at the Museum”.
Can’t wait to hear about your favorite one. Also follow me @cece.atl
