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 […]
Husk – Greenville, SC (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
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 […]
Chinese Dhaba- Norcross, GA
Looking for something different for lunch one day, I wandered into the culinary-culturally diverse strip mall off Breckinridge. I had been to most of the older restaurants there, at least once, but saw a new one, since last I visited – Chinese Dharba. Their catch phrase “Chinese Food – Indian Twist” caught my eye. One […]
K & K Soul Food – Atlanta, GA
Today’s lunch is at another spot sent to me from the pages of Garden N Gun – K&K Soul Food. (It’s like these pages speak to me – “if we fry it, you will come.”) K & K has been in business for fifty years, and I’ve been seeing it on one version of my […]
OJ’s Diner – Greenville, SC
Yet another tip from the Garden n Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List, OJ’s Diner was noted for fried chicken that’s “moist, with super crispy skin.” Those four words were enough to draw me in. As we were heading south through South Carolina, a lunch stop in Greenville seemed in order. This is an old-school cafeteria […]
Alston Bridges Barbecue – Shelby, NC
Not to be confused with the excellent Red Bridges, also in Shelby, Alston Bridges Barbecue has also been open for years. But there is no relation between the two restaurants, and their founders – other than that they both learned their craft at the pit of NC legend Warner Starney. Walking into the counter area, […]
LT’s Wings & Other Things – Atlanta, GA
THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED Another find from Garden & Gun’s Fried Chicken Bucket List, LT’s Wings and Other Things was hailed as staying “busy, with lines out the door.” We arrived around 6:00 on a Saturday and seemed to hit at a good time – there was only one person waiting for food and a […]
