Charlie Joseph’s – LaGrange, GA
Heading down to the Middle East (of Alabama), we were rolling down I-85 and realized that we were running out of choices, rapidly, for lunch (if we wanted to eat soon) when I remembered seeing a sign about chili dogs last time we went to Pine Mountain. Nearing 185, I saw the sign for Charlie […]
Qing Mu Noodle Company – Atlanta, GA
As we were heading towards the heart of Buckhead, I was, as always, looking for a new place to eat. When we reached our shopping destination, I mentioned a couple of spots to my beloved and she was over-thrilled by none of them. I made the decision, and headed back down West Paces Ferry to […]
Mix’d Up Burgers – Atlanta, GA
Coming back from a few days out of town, we were confronted with “the lunch question”. Instead of being met with a quizzical look when I asked, there was a definitive response – “How about that place with the great bean burger, that’s drive through only?” I knew she was talking about Mix’d Up Burgers […]
Lan Zhou Ramen – Chamblee, GA
Back in October, I was heading down Buford Highway, looking for dinner, when I put “ramen” in Google maps. It led me to Lan Zhou Ramen. Lan Zhou shares a parking lot with both Chef Liu and Supermercado Chicago (home of fantastic tamales at the counter in the back – and the best fresh masa […]
The Argosy – Atlanta, GA
Hanging out in the city on a Saturday, for a change, it was creeping toward dinner time. I went on line for a couple of lists of pizza places to try and up came a recommendation for the Argosy. Located in East Atlanta Village, across the street from Elder Tree Pub, we arrived a little […]
Takorea – Dunwoody, GA
Here’s a report from a recent visit to the Dunwoody location of Takorea, which is located in the middle of the Kroger parking lot at Chamblee-Tucker and 285. I’ve eaten there several times over the last two years, most recently when our daughter had her daughter at Northside – and we’d come to visit, with […]
Mary Hoopa’s House of Fried Chicken and Oysters – Atlanta, GA
I’ve been thinking about Mary Hoopa’s House of Fried Chicken & Oysters, for about three months. Maybe longer. I knew it was coming, as I’m a fan of Chef Robert Phalen and his One Eared Stag, and, some time last year, I heard that he was opening a fried chicken place, serving his “once-a-week” fried […]
