Craving a cinnamon roll? Celebrate at Fika on October 4, which will honor Swedish national holiday Kanelbullens Dag (literal translation: cinnamon bun day) with all-day cinnamon rolls — at least, until they run out. If whiskey’s more your style, Butcher & the Boar (pictured above)  just announced their third annual Boarfest, boasting a Fulton- and Knob Creek-heavy drink menu, sausages, oysters, and a lineup including Solid Gold and Davina and The Vagabonds (if you’re curious what Davina might fuel up with pre-show, we’ve got you covered). Cajun 2 Geaux plans a series of “Social Table” pop-up dinners, with one event currently planned for the Landmark Center in November. In other news, Dogwood Coffee snagged a “top 25 roasters in the country” title from Complex Magazine. And in continuation of yesterday’s Travail-triggered Kickstarter discussion, Andrew Zimmern weighs in on “The Travail Boom,” echoing his earlier tweet that “we all want to be part of the club” — clearly a popular perspective given Travail’s $170K-and-counting funding, although DeRusha stands firm on reserving his donations for non-profits.
