Vortex Radio

Every first Thursday of the month we will be doing the Vortex Radio show live out of the Laughing Skull Lounge with our favorite guest Suzanne Benoit! Tell your friends and check it out! This is the first of many new live episodes to come!

This week Michael lets us in on one of his favorite local spots...We interview Zach, co-owner of Better Half, the supper club turned restaurant that Atlanta built. Find out what it took to make this dream come true and build a restaurant based on good food and family. It's an impressive story, and one sure to make you hungry. Check it out! 

It's more fun with people watching! This week we recorded the podcast in front of a live studio audience in the Laughing Skull Lounge, with special guest aunt Suzanne. Listen in for some great laughs-- Mondays don't have to suck!

Meet the Monkey! Frank, our podcast wizard, gets on the mic with the hosts and spills the beans about how he ended up in Atlanta and started spreading podcast magic all over the place. This episode has it all - sex, love, intrigue, jokes, and dirt. Or just listen because of Frank's sexy accent. Either way. enjoy!

You know us. Here at The Vortex we're full of ideas, some of which make us go "oh wait....is that legal?" That's where Matt comes in. Meet the badassest lawyer in town and hear the inner workings of the Vortex legalities. Objection! Overruled! Do the things! 

On todays episode we interview comedian/ Vortex Co-Worker, Andrew Markle! Listen in as he talks up the Atlanta Comedy scene and working at The Vortex. Keep your ear holes open! This is a good one!

This week Michael introduces his lovely wife, Kristen Benoit, to Vortex Radio! Kristen owns The Bone Garden Cantina, another Atlanta favorite...this couple knows their stuff...especially tequila. Fun fact: they assign one another projects for each other's restaurants. Listen in! 

Every bar has its regulars...but not many have regulars that are like family. Braxton has been coming in at least 3 times a week for almost 10  years. That's a lot of beer, and a lot of good times. Check out Braxton's hilarious interview on this week's episode of Vortex Radio!

Everyone loves Home Grown, Atlanta's favorite local-fresh-homemade haven of breakfast and lunch. We invited our friends, owners Lisa and Kevin to compare notes on these two very different businesses. Where the Vortex walks the gritty line between debauchery and charm, Home Grown glistens like a beacon of light in the darkness. You'll want to sop up every last bite of this episode with a hot buttermilk biscuit.

The siblings reminisce about the early days of the Vortex, including the one where Suzanne got taken downtown for being sassy. Learn more about the old neighborhood, and why folks said they were crazy to open a bar here (and why we didn't listen.)
