Ticonderoga Club – Atlanta, GA
Our first attempt at dinner at the Ticonderoga Club was the weekend of the Inman Park Festival. But when we arrived, Krog Street Market had “sold” all their parking places to the festival. And they wanted $20 to allow us to park there (although KSM merchants could validate your parking and you could get $10 […]
Xin’s Chinese Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Another day roaming alone for lunch, another new place. Today, I was actually heading to Masterpiece, as I hadn’t been in almost two weeks, when I noticed another Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall. Walking down to Xin’s Chinese Cuisine, they had carry out menus by the outside door, so I grabbed one and […]
Ah Ma Taiwanese Kitchen – Atlanta, Ga
We were dining several months back and asked our waiter where he liked to eat when he wasn’t working. One of his answers surprised me – Ah Ma’s Taiwanese Kitchen, in Midtown. I wrote down the name (and hid it in my heart). I had seen it before, but it had never really registered. […]
Arnold’s Country Kitchen – Nashville, TN
Heading to Nashville for a day of meandering and food, we were heading to my favorite “guitar store” on the planet, Carter Vintage Guitar. I have had Arnold’s Country Kitchen on my list for several years, since they appeared in Garden-N’-Gun’s “50 Best Southern Foods” in the fall of 2011, and was surprised to find […]
The 404 Kitchen – Nashville, TN (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.
Pho Dai Loi 2 – Atlanta, GA
Pho Dai Loi 2 is another place that has been on “the list” for almost ten years. Pho Dai Loi (implied 1) is in Jonesboro and there is a Pho Dai Loi 3 in Duluth, but I can’t find anything only that declares an affiliation. But number “2” is the one that I’ve been supposed […]
The Earl – Atlanta, GA
On this Saturday, heading across the city, I was craving a burger. We had not been to the Earl, in close to ten years,. In fact, we had not been since the WSJ article that proclaimed the glory of Atlanta burgers, crowning the Ghetto Burger at Ann’s Snack Bar the best in the country. Our […]
The Oceanaire Seafood Room – Atlanta, GA
After a “bust” evening at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival (note: just because the festival is open until 10:00, doesn’t mean the vendors are open past 7:00), we were looking for dinner. Since we’d already paid (quite handily) for parking, we looked for options within walking distance. I had eaten at the Oceanaire Seafood Room […]
Versace Dominican Food – Norcross, GA
When I was looking for a place to turn around to get back to Sabor Inka, I found Versace Dominican Food and filed it away for later. Today ended up being “later”. Walking in, it is cafeteria style and you’re confronted with the large menu – thank goodness for the pictures as the names of the […]
Sabor Inka – Norcross, GA
Heading out for lunch on lone wolf Thursday, I was looking for something new. I headed down Pleasant Hill Road towards 29, a stretch of road on which I usually don’t drive. Then I saw the sign above, with a banner underneath it that said that they were now open seven days a week, and […]
