Beetlecat – Atlanta, GA
A couple of Fridays back, I saw a tweet from Belle Vivere of the lobster roll from Beetlecat and determined that we needed to get there soon. Seeing that they opened at 3:00 on Saturday, I figured we could wrap up an afternoon of in-town errands with a kind-of-early dinner, and we arrived around 5:30. […]
Yet Tuh – Doraville, GA
Yet Tuh came to my mind as we headed up Buford Highway on a Saturday afternoon. I had read a review about them in Atlanta Magazine, recently, which (basically) said that a meal at Yet Tuh is like Sunday lunch at your grandma’s house – provided that your grandma is Korean and can cook. […]
Little Donkey – Homewood, AL
There was one more stop, for dinner, on this road trip, as we headed back to Atanta. And this one was in Homewood. Little Donkey popped onto my radar with an article about Good Eats in Garden N Gun in the spring of 2012. If you’ve been to Homewood in the last decade, there’s a […]
Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q – Decatur, AL (Photo Blog Post)
I’ve had Big Bob Gibson’s, in Decatur, on my list of places to go for years. They are the home of Alabama white sauce – We split a platter – chicken and pork with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of […]
C F Penn Hamburgers – Decatur, AL
While wandering the town of Decatur, AL, waiting for lunch, we were killing time and I found a music store. I drove past it and parallel parked around the corner. As we were getting out of the car, I saw we were parked directly across from CF Penn Hamburgers. Of course, I was intrigued. […]
Bunyan’s Barbecue – Florence, AL (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. Bunyan’s Barbecue.
Trowbridge’s Ice Cream and Sandwich Bar – Florence, AL
Today was road trip Saturday, so we set out on the three and a half-hour drive northeast to Florence / Muscle Shoals. I had a few stops in mind, and we arrived at the first around 10:20 Central time. But since we had arisen prior to 7:00 Eastern, this was a perfectly acceptable time […]
Minero – Atlanta, GA
I didn’t realize until earlier this week that Minero was Sean Brock’s restaurant. I’m a huge fan of his cooking and thought that a meal at this outpost of his Charleston Mexican restaurant would be a great lunch to start the new year. We met our daughter and son-in-law at Ponce City Market […]
Porch Light Latin Kitchen – Smyrna, GA
Sometime last month, I saw an online article from Atlanta Magazine about a new Latin restaurant that had opened (or was about to open) in Smyrna, Porch Light Latin Kitchen.* Always excited when something new opens OTP on the west side, I googled their website and saved it in my phone. I’ve thought about going […]
Kevin Rathbun Steak – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
Steakhouses generally result in dark photos for me, and Kevin Rathbun Steak was no exception. I’ll apologize in advance for the quality of the photos. This post actually ties together two visits, more than one thousand days apart. The first visit was for an anniversary dinner in 2012, and is all of the photos […]
