@@ashleyjonique8782 My wife and I was watching your video. As soon as you spoke I told her you had to be from New Orleans. I'm from New Orleans too. I know that accent.
I’m just curious are these Gatekeepers from Atlanta or are they ppl who has moved here from different states? Because truthfully really there are a few ppl here that are actually from Atlanta.
Freaknik fucked ATL up lol...I bet if you looked at sixty percent of the black people walking around Atlanta birth certificate it want say birthplace was somewhere in the state of GA lol
Gabbana Beauchamp OK AND I said that because outside of the ppl I know from here and my family. Many people I’ve met are not from the A. They’re from all over. It’s not that many ppl you meet that will say I’m from Atlanta.
Omg this has made me so happy , I’m going to Atlanta in February for my birthday for the 3rd year in the row and I’m definitely adding these to the itinerary
Absolutely love this. Coming from a small rural town in central Georgia I’ve never been to Atlanta to explore so I’m looking forward to checking out a lot of these places you included. Sadly I’m stationed in a tiny town in Northern Cali flying home to Ga in 2 weeks, I’m hoping there will still be some good places open during this pandemic. Awesome blog!!
Ashley Jonique Lol well I think you're going to do great hosting! You seem very authentic and down to earth, so hopefully this will open more doors for you! Keep doing your thing!😊
This is such a mis representation of my city. The only thing they got right was Cascade. What was shown was a watered down version of New Atlanta. Where’s Busy Bee’s Mary Macs Spondivits MJQ. Thrillist your gate keepers aren’t even from the city.
Loved what I saw, I didn't know there was a slide up there at Ponce, but I would add Decatur, Kevin Rathbun Steak, the Varsity, the Beltline, Piedmont Park, Buford Highway, Slutty Vegan, Ardens Garden...
I'm visiting ATL in a couple months for the first time. Looking forward to it. And she from New Orleans I'mma be there Thanksgiving wknd, guess I'mma have to get my belly ready lol
An odd one to go on top of PCM but not actually inside for the contrast vs O4W or even getting into the Beltline shaking things up for good or ill or somewhere like Buford Highway---perhaps the least amount of food seen on any of these to date, even if the sole meal had some well populated trays to it.
@@quanamckinney519 I usually take people to Tassili's Raw Reality, its run by Itals in West End, they film a lot of rap videos in that area. there is a Ital donut place around the corner too. Its an experience you won't soon forget, you can find a few reviews on here. Ponce City Market that is in this video has a food hall. You can rent a scooter or bike from there and go down the Beltline (a big sidewalk) to Krog Street Market, another food hall. Krog Street has better food. Downtown is the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, most of the stuff there is open Mon-Fri only. Atlanta does brunch, everyone goes out and it can be hard to get a table. My favorite upscale brunch is Poor Calvin's, my favorite downscale brunch is Ria's Bluebird. Ria's is right by Oakland Cemetery, a historic cemetery here, so you can walk off the pancakes. Currently there is a lot going into East Point/College Park, down by the Airport. I don't get that way much but there is a Cajun place there, Louisana Bistreaux, and Virgil's Gullah, which is about as Southern as you get. Octopus Bar in the video is supposed to be good, its in East Atlanta Village, that neighborhood is much attitude for me. EATS is not that good, its quantity over quality.
i've been to this place once and i didn't like it at all. never went back. maybe it's gotten better since i last went but i just never wanted to go back after my first time.
lmao. yall show NO MERCY in these comments. ima chill on y’all behalf. its def not New Orleans food. Mike just showed me his personal taste. go easy on EATS yall 🤣🙏🏾
Ashley Jonique Ashley I went to Oceania I had great crabcakes, but can you give me some other places to go to when I come back , I no that’s considered a tourist restaurant
No you dont , I live here, it’s expensive for no reason , it’s trashy af , so over crowded you can’t get anywhere in a decent amount of time. Some parts are nice like Buckhead or Atlantic station, but the west size or east side, be carful where go cause you’ll probably get robbed and followed by homeless people begging for money . I would stay where ever you live at , OR go ANYWHERE else.
Julie Wanzer people like you have ruined this city. Buckhead is trash don’t go there unless you want to get roofied or you need to buy and engagement ring. Atlantic station is literally a mall filled with chain stores?? You can find it anywhere. Trash ass opinion move back to New England please.
I searched and she does but she doesn't post content. Her personality is so loveable im sure many of us would watch but she may be too busy. I did follow her in IG though.
Tourist: "What's the best thing to do in Hotlanta?" Me: "Get lost" . The real escape room is watching agitated tourists go ballistic trying to get around or away from traffic. HMMM a career where u drink 4 a living. My uncle had that job until the great state of GA saw fit to remove his driving license.
Like come on. Where's Busy Bee or The Beautiful? You didn't even explore the different parts of the city. At least hit up Little Five Points, Midtown, or Atlantic Station, something more authentic than this. This is a piss-poor tourist representation of Atlanta.
@LA Ryan well it looks like a slow pace city, it looks like it's saturated with the same type of business all over, doesnt seem like theres much to do.
I don’t like hearing New Orleans accents unless I’m actually in New Orleans. I would never watch a tv show or video with a host having a NO accent. Having said that, I clicked because I’ve lived in ATL for over 30 years (not old, I moved as a child). They could have chosen better food spots. Eats? Sure it’s been around forever, but is it really an institution? I would have liked to see more established joints (old school Atlanta).

She has to be from Louisiana with that accent! i love it

@@ashleyjonique8782 Link your episode from last year!!!!!
@@ashleyjonique8782 My wife and I was watching your video. As soon as you spoke I told her you had to be from New Orleans. I'm from New Orleans too. I know that accent.
@@ashleyjonique8782 I like your accent it's so smooth like southern comfort and born in New Orleans. I am enjoying the episodes.
😂😂😂
Her accent is killing me! I love it so much
Is she from New Orleans
they always got the absolute wrong people representing Atlanta i swear smh the shit sad..
What's wrong, what did I miss?
What type of people should represent the city.
💯
Definitely! It’s always something portrayed fo be ratchet, and that is not what Atlanta is about!
You have to know how to fight? Come on! Smh
Ashley is killing it! Loving this series!! More more more!!
Yes, she's amazing!! We'll be back next week!
Yeah she really is a breath of fresh air! What ever she does I'm watchin!
Gotta take her through the bars in East Atlanta , Edgewood and Old 4th ward.
Right... Even downtown decatur
I'm so proud of this girl man. Way to go Ash, KEEP GOIN
ayeee!! ty so much Mike
y'all know y'all shoulda hit up Edgewood!
What's in the Edge?
Yaaaaas!!!! Love that Ashley is doing a gatekeepers episode
I love that she is being her authentic self 🖤
I’m just curious are these Gatekeepers from Atlanta or are they ppl who has moved here from different states?
Because truthfully really there are a few ppl here that are actually from Atlanta.
Freaknik fucked ATL up lol...I bet if you looked at sixty percent of the black people walking around Atlanta birth certificate it want say birthplace was somewhere in the state of GA lol
People from all over the South move here, and locals move out.
gisforgary I know that I’m from Atlanta. Literally the city of Atlanta.
I hate when people say this. LOL people born and raised in Atlanta still live here they neevr leave
Gabbana Beauchamp OK AND I said that because outside of the ppl I know from here and my family. Many people I’ve met are not from the A. They’re from all over. It’s not that many ppl you meet that will say I’m from Atlanta.
Omg this has made me so happy , I’m going to Atlanta in February for my birthday for the 3rd year in the row and I’m definitely adding these to the itinerary
Gatekeepers and Ashley is a perfect fit. PS- Ashley is 🔥 too.
🙏🏾
Ok Ashley I’m on binge watching you, I’m jealous of all this food your getting to eat!
So glad you got a new host, she's great!
🙏🏾
Tiffanie has A BEAUTIFUL energy !
Absolutely love this. Coming from a small rural town in central Georgia I’ve never been to Atlanta to explore so I’m looking forward to checking out a lot of these places you included.

I remember her episode in new Orleans! You go girl!😀 Glad they gave you a series! Congrats!

Tiffanie is the best bartender in Atlanta
I love this series! Subscribed to the channel just for this. Ashley is hilarious and a great host!
Definitely lovin the new episode! Ashley is doin a great job glad yall picked her to host this new Season!
Busy bee is the best soul food restaurant in Atlanta
We argue the beautiful
Carless Link the beautiful was good but it was no busy bee
This is such a mis representation of my city. The only thing they got right was Cascade. What was shown was a watered down version of New Atlanta. Where’s Busy Bee’s Mary Macs Spondivits MJQ. Thrillist your gate keepers aren’t even from the city.
Hip Hip Tours Of Atlanta this video high key very disrespectful
Nice list! Pascal's, The beautiful, Lemon pepper wings fried hard from somewhere, the varsity at least one strip club.
Spit your game 🎮 son ..what's the places
When i visited my girlfriends took me to Busy Bees and omfg it was god level
Don't forget The Beautiful and the lemon pepper wet at Magic City...
Great Gatekeepers...I especially loved Tiffanie! Fun places with some great back stories and a really great vibe between Ashley and her hosts.
Tiffanie was a Beast when it came to knowledge about the drink scene. blew my mind
I like her a lot. And lawd, I was damn near holding my breath watching this because I didn't think we would be represented well.
well thank you Lindsey !! I appreciate cha sis!
Charleston episode is sooo much better!!! ❤❤❤
They changed the host! Yay!
Loved what I saw, I didn't know there was a slide up there at Ponce, but I would add Decatur, Kevin Rathbun Steak, the Varsity, the Beltline, Piedmont Park, Buford Highway, Slutty Vegan, Ardens Garden...
I really like this episode and love Ashley!!!! Keep it up sis!
Thank yall for all the good vibes. Im lovin it🙏🏾
I'm visiting ATL in a couple months for the first time. Looking forward to it. And she from New Orleans I'mma be there Thanksgiving wknd, guess I'mma have to get my belly ready lol
Jetman Travels book a tour with us Hip Hop Tours Of Atlanta to see the real Atlanta
OH! I'M INTO THIS SERIES!!!!
WOOO glad to hear it!
@@thrillist Send her to Chicago!!!!
No J.R crickets or Edgewood 🙄
Jamie Charles, J.R. Crickets is horribje
Jamie Charles, *horrible
They don’t even have the Atlanta accent how they the gatekeepers 😂😂
Kay Owens exactly
She said something there ! No "y'all's " or no "shawtys".
Shout-out to Eats from an ATLien born and raised! Eats was everyday meal with only $5 left in the pocket.
Escape the Trap was worth every penny & MORE!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I automatically knew what food would be on this episode. ATL is kinda predictable Lol. Love the series tho! Especially the Charleston episode.♥️
Right!!! ❤ Charleston
Great show and I will definitely check out Parlor 👏♥️
OMG WE LOVE HERRRRRR
Hope the next one feature MrEverything`s he`s spot is bomb definitely sum of best food in Atlanta
An odd one to go on top of PCM but not actually inside for the contrast vs O4W or even getting into the Beltline shaking things up for good or ill or somewhere like Buford Highway---perhaps the least amount of food seen on any of these to date, even if the sole meal had some well populated trays to it.
Just found my new crush & she ain't fall on the skates lol, New Orleans Meets Atlanta, Great Job 💯
🤣🤣🙏🏾.. make sure you follow me on ig @Letdatgirlcook
@@ashleyjonique8782 gotchu queen 💯💪🏾👸🏾👑
What’s the name of that first song you were skating to? I need to put that on my playlist!
Cheers to the Atlanta accent ❤
Love it!
This a great video and she is absolutely gorgeous. Is Ashley looks and speaks like Toya Wright; are they related???
Thank you!!! We are not related but we were born and raised in the same place
Love the accent! Hey maneee
Hey I like her. Keep them coming
🙏🏾🙌🏾
barely showed a small sliver of the city, hardly any of the diversity it offers. no Heirloom BBQ?
We'll have to check that spot out next time!
Please name some places I wanna visit in summer never been!
@@quanamckinney519 that's a really open question, depends on what you like.
@@Gee-xb7rt everything I'm a foodie🥰 but something where it's like I wanna go back before I leave type stuff.
@@quanamckinney519 I usually take people to Tassili's Raw Reality, its run by Itals in West End, they film a lot of rap videos in that area. there is a Ital donut place around the corner too. Its an experience you won't soon forget, you can find a few reviews on here.

Atlanta does brunch, everyone goes out and it can be hard to get a table. My favorite upscale brunch is Poor Calvin's, my favorite downscale brunch is Ria's Bluebird. Ria's is right by Oakland Cemetery, a historic cemetery here, so you can walk off the pancakes.
Currently there is a lot going into East Point/College Park, down by the Airport. I don't get that way much but there is a Cajun place there, Louisana Bistreaux, and Virgil's Gullah, which is about as Southern as you get.
Octopus Bar in the video is supposed to be good, its in East Atlanta Village, that neighborhood is much attitude for me. EATS is not that good, its quantity over quality.
had no idea thrillist still existed. kewl.
Random person:you got an accent
Me : you got an accent too
hahahaahh
Her accent....it’s the best
ayeeee😘. ty!!
I would love go visit Atlanta. I only been to Macon ga with my family we went to buffet I forgot the name.
Lol Im one city over from Macon,GA lol
It's dope here, make sure you come with somebody familiar with the city.
@@MikeCoolShow well I guess that will be miracle I don't know no one to do that!
@@mimithomas I'm familiar with it and Macon too so I'll be glad to show you around

Ok Split on Skates! You better do it... I'm not feeling that Trap Museum.
Lmao micheal b jordan. Lol Love Ashley
She's the besttt
Ashley😍😍😍
Now y’all know New Orleans don’t play about food. Why y’all take her to Eats?
i've been to this place once and i didn't like it at all. never went back. maybe it's gotten better since i last went but i just never wanted to go back after my first time.
Lona nods It used to be good many years ago but it ain’t no place I’d bring my ppl to. My family would disown me!
lmao. yall show NO MERCY in these comments. ima chill on y’all behalf. its def not New Orleans food. Mike just showed me his personal taste. go easy on EATS yall 🤣🙏🏾
Ashley Jonique Ashley I went to Oceania I had great crabcakes, but can you give me some other places to go to when I come back , I no that’s considered a tourist restaurant

Lol. Cascade is not somewhere I’d want to go day or night time. That whole area is mad grimy.
Love your accent and your beautiful but it's way more to Atlanta than where they took you. They didn't take you to the westside, soufside, etc.
Thank you!! Some places weren’t available for us to film. its a lot that goes into it. no excuses here iSwear 🙏🏾
She HAS to be from Louisiana or Charleston SC!!
New Orleans !
Octopus bar got a good ass Redsnapper
I hear New Orleans in her voice
Born and Raised 💁🏽♀️⚜️
Ashley Jonique, where do you live now?
Does she have a personal YT channel ?
I searched and she does but she doesn't post content. Her personality is so loveable im sure many of us would watch but she may be too busy. I did follow her in IG though.
Mannnn!! This was tooooo tame for my city!! 😴
Nice.
Thank you, don't forget to check in next week for our episode in Austin!
Not one of them had an ATLANTA accent
More like the Trap music expo
lol people do still say ATL and HOT -lanta....
only acceptable when you saying "ATL HOE" that's it
🤣🤣🤣noted
They got MICHAEL B JORDAN?!
Oh yeah we did!!
in the flesh baaby🤣
Definitely Nola lol

Hi
Welcome!
Hotlanta looks boring
@LA Ryan well it looks like a slow pace city, it looks like it's saturated with the same type of business all over, doesnt seem like theres much to do.
I agree no one says hotlanta but people definitely say Atl. They must not be from Atlanta
First
Eats is not good!!! No season, its pitiful that you have to pay money for no flavor.
.........EATS ...nah b
o
This not the real Atlanta at all
She talks like a robot
I always say that about myself! another so called imperfection you will be seeing a lot of... this aint the last of me💁🏽♀️🗣🤖
Ur a fuggn hater 🙄 her voice is beautiful
