Horrible Bosses 2 Screening and Pre-party at Chick-a-Biddy

Way overdue… I had started this review the day after and completely forgot to finish it. I was finally able to make it out to a Unilocal Elite event! Some of the bites offered were carrots and celery, pimiento cheese (YUM), fruit, chicken nuggets, hummus and other dips and sauces. The pimiento cheese was probably some of the best I’ve tried, and their chicken nuggets were solid, too. Perfect ratio of meat and breading. I definitely ate too much because I felt a bit sick afterwards due to all the fried goodness. I did not partake in the unlimited beer and wine, but thought it was pretty cool that it was there.
Heidi had a trivia session with questions about «Horrible Bosses.» I was one of the lucky winners and scored myself a goody bag with a T-​shirt, movie poster, two Blu-​Ray DVDs («Lincoln» and «Delivery Man») and a koozie.
We headed to the movie theater a bit early, but that was not a bad thing because there was another group there already in line with free passes. I am not sure where this group came from. When we entered the theater, we saw a bunch of seats had signs on them. I automatically assumed they were meant for the other group, but turns out it was for the Unilocal Elites! Dammit. So we ended up at the front.
The movie was hilarious and it was awesome of Unilocal to provide us this night out and the opportunity to see an early screening. Thanks Unilocal

This was a great event and though I’m a little late with this review, that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy myself immensely!
We first gathered at Chick-​a Biddy for some awesome drinks and appetizers. Yes, wine and beer were at our disposal people. Pair that with some great apps to include plantain chips, guacamole, hummus, veggies (carrots and celery), pimento cheese, fresh fruit, and some delicious chicken bites with some amazing dip and you’ve got yourself a winner. The staff did a terrific job keeping everything replenished and clearing plates from the tables.
We were able to take pictures with the huge Horrible Bosses 2 cast (the cardboard kind, hahaha) and socialize before we headed across the street to Regal. Did I mention this all went down in Atlantic Station? Oh. It all went down in Atlantic Station.
The theater was all about Unilocal on this night. Because I’m so accustomed to going to screenings and seeing the reserved seat for producers and film people, I totally didn’t realize that this time the reserved seats were for us Unilocalers. Poo on that because I sat closer to the screen than I wanted to when I should have had VIP seating. Bygones.
Anyway, the movie was hilarious and I want to say, better than the first one.
Cheers to Heidi and JJ who hosted and did a grand job! Thank ya’ll, great event!

Got invited to the Unilocal event by my honey, and this was one of my favorite events thus far. Chick a biddy was nice enough to provide finger food plus wine/​beer, and there were tons of give-​a– ways (everybody at my table, except me, won something). The movie was extremely funny, which was surprising, considering the first one was ok. All around, great time!

What an awesome event! This was my first time going to a movie preview, and how fun that we had some appetizers first at Chick-​A-​Biddy. I have to say I don’t eat fried chicken, so I left a little hungry though they had hummus, veggies, pimento cheese, plantains, and guacamole. They also served wine and beer for us, and had the whole place closed for us only at one point. There was movie trivia, and I was lucky enough to win a prize :). I have never seen Horrible Bosses, so I didn’t know what to expect, but wow. great movie! I have to say I missed the reclining seats. And the food selection was not healthy. I did get a jumbo pretzel, and it was 500 calories! Then I went across the street for a double doozie at Great American Cookie Company. Whoops! What fun to hang out with fellow Unilocalers, and watch a really funny movie. I’d actually go see it again once it releases. Thanks Heidi and Chick-​A-​Biddy for a fantastic time! Loved it!

Great night out
The folks at chick a biddy were great. Friendly and working steady the whole time. One of the best hummus in town. Chicken was juicy and plentiful. Strongbow on ice made it all the better.
Movie was better than I expected. Sequels lose some flare at times but it was funny and kept you intrigued. Great reserved seating for Unilocaled was a big plus.
Thanks for a great night out

Such a fun event!
This event was just what the hubby and I needed after a stressful few days. It was great to check out Atlantic Station for the first time, and to see superstar OTP CM Heidi P. after such a long time! I can always count on my Unilocalers for a good time!
This was my first experience at Chick-​a-​Biddy, and I have to say I love this little spot! It seems like a great place to grab a bite to eat after some intense shopping in Atlantic Station.
The hubby was jumping for joy that Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA was on draft, and the Strongbow draft put a smile on this girls face. After grabbing drinks, we checked out the lite bites and loaded up on chicken bites with wasabi honey, pimento cheese, guacamole, hummus and plantain chips. All of it was super yummy!
I loved Horrible Bosses and am a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston, so I had already made up my mind to see Horrible Bosses 2. This is how Unilocal improves my life! I think she was even better in Horrible Bosses 2! The hubby and I laughed the entire time!
Thank you Chick-​a-​Biddy, New Line Cinema and Unilocal for an awesome night out!

Loved this event!
I had a great time getting to hang out with some familiar faces and make some new friends! Chick-​A-​Biddy had been on my list for some time to try and I was so glad that they held a pre-​party just for us! The chicken was crispy, the sauces on point, and tons of yummy pimiento cheese and hummus to go around. My only disappointment here was that I wish they had a few more appetizers to try. The food certainly wasn’t lacking in quality or quantity, but as a first time visitor I would have loved a little more variety from their specialty chicken offerings.
Next up — drinks and trivia! I was so proud of our table — everyone got something. Thankfully the questions weren’t all Horrible Bosses themed so even I walked away with a nifty gift bag. There was cider and beer on tap which were crisp and refreshing. Definitely a must on a cold winter night! From there, Heidi P (our amazing host for the evening) let us know it was time to start transitioning to the theater for the screening.
We walked across the street and were immediately seated in one of their main theaters. They even had rows blocked off only for Unilocalers which meant we got the prime seats (yay extra leg room!). The screening started at 8 but most everyone had found their seats by 7:15 so there was plenty of time to socialize and grab some concessions (because what’s a movie without the popcorn? extra butter please!).
Horrible Bosses 2 was fantastic and really funny. Plenty of comedy and a pretty solid story line. Major props to Heidi, JJ, the staff at Chick-​a-​Biddy & Regal, and of course Allied Pictures for making it all happen!

This is my 3^rd Unilocal Elite event and per usual, I had a blast!!! I met some new people and continued to see some familiar faces. Chik-​a-​biddy was an amazing host making sure there was always plenty of food and drinks flowing! Their fried chicken is da bomb; if you are shopping around Atlantic Station, you have to stop here for some food. Their guac dip is pretty amaze balls; I’m a sucker for good guac dip and I personally think it goes well on ANYTHING. ANYTHING.
Horrible bosses 2 was HILARIOUS; its a must see. I never saw horrible bosses 1 but I don’t think you need to for the second movie and most people after thought it was BETTER than the first one and a sequel is always hard to top off its predecessor. Thanks again to Unilocal,Regal, and Chick-​a-​Biddy for hosting us: D

Great event all around! Free food, free beer/​wine, free movie before it even premiers? WHAAAAAAAT? Guess who had a ball? *points to self*
I RSVP’d for thie event because the preparty was at Chic A Biddy. My man has been wanting to go to Bantum & Biddy and/​or Chic A Biddy for quite some time, so I knew he’d be happy to go. Plus, I actually liked the first Horrible Bosses.
The chicken bites were pretty good. Now, that WASABI HONEY, though?!! That honey alone makes me want to revisit CAB right now! It was just how it sounds. Sweet with a touch of spicy! Absolutely delicious. Whoever put those two elements together did a hell of a job.
While attending the preparty at CAB, I discovered a new beer. *angels sing* Strongbow Gold Cider! I discovered it at the end of the party, but I was home Googling about places to purchase it once the movie was over.
After eating, trivia, meeting some Unilocalers and FREE beer — we were ushered across the street to Regal to see Horrible Bosses 2.
The movie was waaaayyy funnier than the first. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely told a few friends to go see the movie.
Great event and I cannot wait for the next!

Such an awesome event! I was super excited about the movie and even watched Horrible Bosses 1 this morning just to get ready. I was also excited about chick-​a-​biddy. I had gone to Bantam+Biddy only a couple weeks ago and fell in love with their fried chicken tenders. From hearing about chick-​a-​biddy, it seems to be a condensed version of Bantam+Biddy.
When we got to the event and had our party passes scanned, they had the snacks and drinks ready on tap for us! This was the first time I tried an «Adam’s Apple», which I learned from fellow Unilocaler Kate is Samuel Adams and Strongbow or Angry Orchard mixed together. Awesome drink! The dips guacamole and hummuswere great too, but what really caught my taste buds were the chicken bites. Both the fried chicken and the honey was familiar from bantam+biddy! I learned from reading fellow Unilocaler Lindy’s review that it is a wasabi honey. I knew there was a reason it had a kick: D.
The event also had some trivia. While hanging out with Chef Justin White, Kate, Tammi, and Kevin, we got to win some giveaways with the Horrible Bosses trivia!
After the pre-​party, we were led to the Atlantic Station regal a little early to grab some good seats. We had a little downtime after that, but it was good because we had the opportunity to go to the bathroom, grab some snacks, and get settled before the movie started. It’s always hard to guesstimate how early to get to an advance screening so I understood we had a little relaxation time. The wait was well worth it too. The movie was really funny and I appreciated that it stayed on the same humor level as Horrible Bosses 1.
Other than the food and the movie, another reason why this event was great was because we got to mix with both ITP elite Unilocalers as well as non-​yelpers. I’ve only gone to a few elite events, but this was the first where I got to mix with non-​yelpers also.
Thanks Heidi for doing such an awesome job organizing this and thank you to Chick-​a-​Biddy, Atlantic Station, and Allied Media for this awesome event!

A movie screening with a pre-​party? Yessss!!!
How fortunate to be able to attend another Elite event this time with guests! I arrived at Chick-​a-​Biddy ready to get the party started! It was nice to see the whole place was closed off to the Unilocal party; there should have been a red carpet outside! Once we got scanned in, I got your name tag and was directed to food in the middle and the bar at the back. I usually am not excited about the beer/​wine selections at open bar events but they had Strongbow!!! Good job Chick-​a-​Biddy!
I hit the food table first and was surprised because all I saw was hummus and guacamole. Of course I was thinking, «I am in a chicken spot, right»? I grabbed some quac and celery sticks. The guac was good nothing to write home about as I am a big fan of some excellent guac. But then the chicken came out! They had small chicken bites with BBQ sauce and a wasabi honey. The wasabi honey was da bomb! I took more of the BBQ sauce but the wasabi honey taught me how important it is to move outside of your comfort zone. The chicken was tender juicy and flavorful. There was pimento cheese as well and I love anything cheese. It was a little on the extra mayo side but good.
There were trivia questions with giveaways to the winners. The bar was packed but the service kept up with it pretty good. Having a seat at the bar is not always an advantage but I was taken care of so I appreciate the good customer service.
We went over to the theater for the screening about an hour before the movie started but waiting in line was not required which I can always appreciate. Now whenever I got to screenings, most of the good seats are reserved for media. But tonight they were reserved for us Unilocalers!!! Nice! Horrible Bosses 2 was funny and I found myself really laughing out loud at times. Good movie.
The whole event was well run so thank you to Heidi for putting together a great event! Thank you to Chick-​a-​Biddy for good food, service and beer! Nice to meet some other Unilocalers, try out a new food spot and see a good movie!

Dinner and a movie… on the house? I’m there! Especially when it’s a movie with Charlie Day AND Jason Sudeikis (okay, and Jamie Foxx… and Kevin Spacey). I work in Atlantic Station so getting over to Chick-​a-​Biddy was a breeze. My guest and I were greeted at the door and saw that Chick-​a-​Biddy was closed off entirely for the Unilocal event. Talk about fancy! JJ checked us in and Heidi greeted us upon entrance. The room was littered with Horrible Bosses 2 posters and Unilocal schwag. We made our own name tags and then proceeded to the … wait for it, open bar. There were fountain beverages, but more importantly, beers flowing on tap and a white and red wine option.
The middle of the room was set up with a buffet line of appetizers — hummus and guacamole, carrots and celery, some fruit salad, plantain chips, pimento cheese, and Chick-a-Biddy’s ever famous chicken tenders. They also included their two dipping sauces, wasabi honey and barbecue. I think because we had got there kind of early, there were still some kinks. For example, for a while, they didn’t have any serving utensils so we had to paw at the celery and carrots a little bit. My guest and I ended up sharing a booth with elite, Cindy, and her boyfriend, David. The verdict at the table was that the food was only okay. I thought the house made hummus and guac were pretty tasty though. The plantain chips were strange. The chicken was a little dry but strangely tasty after being dipped in hummus.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Low lights and the music was kind of club-​like. Halfway through the preparty we played trivia for ten giveaway bags. There is no one better at random-​celebrity-​knowledge trivia than me. My brain just naturally retains useless celebrity gossip. (I think it also helped that the questions were not too difficult and Horrible Bosses-​centric). Both my guest and I ended up winning schwag bags. I finally snagged my self a pair of Unilocal sunnies! Highlight of the evening! #kiddingnotkidding
Around 7, we made our way over to the theatre across the street. There was a short line waiting to get in but I was surprised at how few people there were in the actual theatre. The movie was … hilarious. Seriously. Probably better than the first and I really enjoyed the first Horrible Bosses.
Thanks to Heidi, JJ, Chick-​a-​Biddy, and Regal for hosting a Unilocaltastic, hilarious event.

Free food, booze and a funny movie all hosted by Heidi (with an assist by JJ)? Sign me up every time!
We descended upon Chick-​a-​Biddy ready for the unknown (we did something similar in February) and this was definitely and upgrade from our last outing here! The entire restaurant was closed off for us! Wow! We were greeted by JJ who scanned us in and then directed to name tags and the bar. On the way to drinks, there was Heidi passing out hugs and smiles and her usual love to the Elite and making sure we knew where to go to get our goodies!
Drinks were flowing and the food was laid out in the middle of the restaurant. There seemed to be plenty of seating, but I did end up in the corner, so if people were stuck standing, I did miss that. We were treated to Chicken Bites (you had me at wasabi honey), plantain chips, pimento cheese, hummus and guacamole. They kept replenishing, so we were not left wanting.
Heidi treated us to movie trivia about the previous Horrible Bosses movie and it’s stars. People know their celeb news for sure! Soon after, we were ushered to the theatre to grab seats. We were not fighting for seats at all! Usually at these things you are jockeying for a good seat, but the Allied Marketing Team blocked off 7 or so rows just for the Unilocal Elite — that’s what I call star treatment!
And to top it off, the movie was hysterical! Personally I think better than the original. Kudos to a killer event… I’d have eaten more at CaB, but I had to save room for that popcorn… I mean what’s a movie without popcorn!!!

We arrived at Atlantic Station and were pleasantly surprised to find Chick a Biddy was closed off for the Unilocal event. Swanky! Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by JJ and given wristbands that served as access to both events for the night. First order of business, the bar! Unlimited beers on tap and wine were kept a flowing. There were also nonalcoholic beverages, but lets be real here… Anywho since we arrived pretty early in the night, I was able to sneak into a booth and started chatting it up with Samantha H. and her guest Dickson aka «Too Long» who graciously gave me a T Shirt he won from Trivia. Gotta love Unilocal Atlanta members and their hospitality.
Food for the evening was served buffett style with a selection of fruit salad, hummus, guacamole, carrots, celery, chips, pimento cheese and chicken nuggets with wasabi honey or barbecue sauce. Now, the lack of stars for this review is a reflection on the food. You can refer to my separate review on Chick a Biddy for further explanation. I generally am WOWed by the food at Unilocal events because most businesses are out to impress. However, no one at our table of 4 cared for anything we had. The chicken nuggets were bland and dry with a hard shell. That didn’t stop my ravenous boyfriend from consuming about 10 plates worth of nuggets. The wasabi honey dressing was a very sweet sauce with an intense wasabi aftertaste that was meh for me. Thanks to the gracious staff who quickly filled the buffet line!
Our host for the night, Heidi even stopped by our booth to chat with us. She even remembered my boyfriend and I from a Unilocal event last summer. LAST SUMMER. Does this woman know witchcraft? I was throughly impressed! We were also entertained with Horrible Bosses 2 Trivia and those who knew their celebrity and movies facts were given goodie bags filled with a DVD, book, shirt, and other Unilocal swag.
Come time for the movie screening, we were instructed to head on over to the Regal. With our wristbands, we were able to bypass line of people with regular movie screening passes. I saw rows of reserved seating for Unilocal which was also a nice touch.
Now, the actual movie itself was HILARIOUS. My boyfriend and I didn’t stop laughing throughout the whole thing. It was significantly more memorable than the first. I cannot look at Kevin Spacey the same way again. Overall, another great Unilocal event full of food, fun and laughs!
