La Oaxaquena Tacqueria- Jonesboro, GA
La Oaxaquena Tacqueria has been on my “list” since the original paper list that was in the trunk of my car, back in 2006. But Jonesboro is just not a place that we often get to. Today, while we were wandering around on the south side of Atlanta, I declared (silently, to myself, in case […]
Diner – Atlanta, GA
As we really enjoy Rosebud, I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Ron Eyester’s Diner since I first heard word of it last summer. With a limited opening on March 5 (serving a limited version of the menu), we decided to stop in the afternoon for an early dinner and see what we thought. […]
The Albert – Atlanta, GA
Recently named the “6th Best Burger” in Atlanta (by Atlanta Magazine), the Original Diner Burger (ODB) was put on my “to try” list right after reading the article. Heading into town this morning (because it is Saturday and what else would you do) we headed toward Inman Park, sneaking up on The Albert from Little […]
Bubba Mac’s – Douglasville, GA
I’d been talking about going to Bubba Mac’s for over a decade, but there never seemed to be the right time. They had been located on Highway 92, just north of downtown Douglasville, since 1997 but we never seemed to make it in (there location was not conducive to my traffic patterns, but they’ve developed […]
Jaleo – Washington, DC (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.
Fiola Mare – Washington, DC
On this trip to DC, I did a little exploring and determined, in advance, where I could make a reservation for dinner that was on one of my lists. I knew that the top spot on my “to-do” list did not take reservations (Rose’s Luxury), so I looked at other choices. From the Southern Living […]
Ping Pong Dim Sum – Washington, DC
After arriving in DC and dropping our bags at the hotel, food was shortly on our mind. I asked the concierge about restaurants in Chinatown and he gave me two names, both near the metro station. We saw Ping Pong Dim Sum first, so it “won”. We’re fond of dim sum – and what could […]
Superica – Atlanta, GA
Sitting at home, watching NCAA conference championship weekend, the subject of lunch came up. I mentioned the excellent chicken tacos my love had enjoyed at El Felix last weekend and that we could get the same things at Superica in about half an hour. (Superica is Ford Fry’s newest Tex-Mex restaurant, in Krog Street Market, […]
Shake Shack – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, we were visiting NYC for the weekend and I was in burger heaven. As we were getting ready to leave on Sunday morning, I realized that we had time to make a quick run to Shake Shack, just off Times Square. I enjoyed it at the time, although it paled next to […]
The El Felix – Alpharetta, GA
With all of the buzz that Superica has gotten in the last week with its opening, I thought we needed to try Ford Fry’s earlier Mex-Tex offering in Atlanta, the El Felix. Located in the yuppy haven of Avalon in Alpharetta (think an outdoor shopping mall out of the Truman show, populated with upscale rednecks), […]
