Tanner’s in Suwanee – Suwanee, GA
Back in the “old days”, which for the purposes of this post were the early 90s, we used to eat at a Tanner’s Chicken, at the corner of Indian Trail Road and Highway 29. In fact, we ate there quite a lot. Primarily because one of our sales guys ate nothing but steak or chicken […]
Trigos Colombian Restaurant – Lawrenceville, GA
Today’s chorus of “looking for lunch in all the wrong places” took me up 120 toward Lawrenceville. Just about to cross 316, I saw Trigos Colombian Restaurant off to my right, made a quick left, then a u-turn and caught the light into their complex. Trigos is located in a development that’s roughly a third […]
Don Pedro – Norcross, GA
On another lone-wolf Wednesday, my quest for food took me south on Buford Highway. As I was driving and looking for a place, I recalled having seen Don Pedro (Real Mexican Food) about two weeks ago, while going elsewhere, and the parking lot was absolutely packed. And packed with trucks (that’s always a good sign). […]
Horseradish Grill – Atlanta, GA
For Saturday night , we had a change of times for dinner, necessitating a change of locations. Horseradish Grill won the coin toss. I’ve known of Horseradish Grill for years but, for whatever reasons, we’ve never been. Arriving about 6:30, we were surprised at how empty it was. And even moreso that we were seated […]
Chat and Choo – Villa Rica, GA
Today’s adventure takes us to the Chat and Choo (See what they did there? Choo versus Chew? It’s across the street from the railroad tracks), downtown in the City of Riches. In case you didn’t know, Villa Rica was the home of Georgia’s first gold rush, in 1826. As we parked and were crossing US […]
Cafe 49 – Duluth, GA
In another episode in what has apparently become a continuing quest for a good sandwich, today I went to Café 49. I had eaten here several years ago, when it was called Magnolia’s on a fairly regular basis. Inside, it hasn’t changed much since then, except there is a coat of nondescript brown paint on […]
Brown Bag Deli & Cafe – Suwanee, GA
Out roaming on my own again at lunch time, I headed up to Suwanee Town Center, thinking that there must be a couple of places there that I had not yet tried. One of the first “new-to-me” places I saw was Brown Bag Deli & Cafe and my decision was made. I parked in front […]
Manna House – Marietta, GA
After almost a six-mile hike at Kolb Farm, we had worked up quite an appetite. As we were almost in Marietta, I remembered reading, in the eater.com article about Alton Brown’s favorite spots that he was fond of the “super funky soul food” at Manna House. We were less than ten minutes away from downtown […]
Suwannee Pizza Tavern – Suwannee, GA
Inspired by A) a sense of adventure and B) a scout mob deal, we headed off for lunch at Suwanee Pizza Tavern. I had noticed this deal pop up yesterday when I was heading over to Lucky dog, but I wasn’t sure exactly where it was. Today as I was discussing lunch with a coworker, […]
Jimmy John’s – Atlanta, GA
A year or so back, one of my friends asked me if I had ever eaten at Jimmy Johns. At the time, I had seen one or two, but never been to one. Then I started noticing them everywhere. Looking for a quick bite, I swung into the location near Ansley Mall. Walking in, I […]
