Brush Sushi Izakaya – Decatur, GA
Brush Sushi Izakaya has been on my radar for several months, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself. Everyone raves about their omakase service (this translates to “I’ll leave it up to you”, in Japanese and it’s a chef’s choice of sushi and ingredients). But that much raw seafood is a bit of a stretch for […]
Greater Good BBQ – Atlanta, GA
The Greater Good wasn’t our original lunch destination. Working off my original list, we were heading toward Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian spot that’s been on my list for almost 12 years. I googled the address and the hours (not wanting to show up some place that was only open for dinner) and was surprised […]
Stockyard Burgers and Bones – Marietta, GA
As often happens, our dinner at Stockyard Burgers and Bones wasn’t part of the original plan. It was Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve), and we had dinner reservations elsewhere but, as the menu there changes weekly, when we arrived, nothing jumped out at us. Or even appealed to us. We understand that, with […]
Nueva San Salvador Bakery – Hiram, GA
Even with it having been open for over a year (they opened in November 2016), I had no idea that we had a Salvadoran restaurant in Hiram. But, on Saturday, when I ran to Office Max to pick something up, there was Nueva San Salvador Bakery, in the same strip mall. I got so excited, […]
B’s Cracklin’Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I heard that someone was smoking whole hog barbecue in northwest Atlanta. I made a mental note and figured that I would hear more about it and get there soon enough. Two months passed by when I saw an online article from Atlanta magazine about pitmaster Bryan Furman, at B’s Cracklin’ Barbecue, […]
Takorea – Atlanta, GA
Let me preface this post by saying that we love, love, love Hankook Taqueria and that we make our way there, often, when we’re looking for a quick bite on the West Side. Heading to a matinee at the Fox on this Sunday, we decided to give chef Tomas Lee’s other restaurant, Takorea, a try. […]
Tom + Chee – Kennesaw, GA
Over the last ten months, I’ve eaten at two different Tom+Chee restaurants, on three different occasions. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve LOVED grilled cheese and tomato soup together and thought the idea of a restaurant focused on that pairing was brilliant. These guys got their big start on Shark Tank and have now […]
