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 […]
Lucky Dog – Suwanee, GA
I remember several months ago when I read Marie Let’s Eat’s paean to the Vienna hotdog, I thought that I ought to try one of those. As I was lone wolfing for lunch today, and looking for something quick and close to the office, I remembered seeing Lucky Dog when I was heading up Buford […]
Mellow Mushroom – Hiram, GA
It was Tuesday before I knew we were two days into Pizza Week. Granted, I never knew such a thing existed, but, dang it, I was missing an excuse to eat pizza! When we were trying to decide on a place to meet our small group for dinner on Wednesday night, it was determined that […]
Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano – Atlanta, GA
We tried to eat at Gio’s Chicken Amalfatino quite a while back for lunch one weekday. Brilliant plan – we even navigated the challenge of parking near Antico and walked up to the door. Then found that they weren’t open for lunch. [Homer Simpson voice ON] “Doh! [Homer Simpson voice OFF]. So one night, a […]
Rumi’s Kitchen – Sandy Springs, GA
For those who read the blog regularly, you’ll know that I tried to eat at Rumi’s Kitchen about three weeks ago, but had the address wrong and ended up eating a bad (and according to a couple of comments, a bad-looking) pizza instead. When I was talking with some of our friends about dinner on […]
Praise the Lard BBQ – Buford, GA
Several weeks ago, my daughter told me about a new place they had gone to eat over the weekend, Praise the Lard BBQ. I’ll have to admit, I was committed to going once I heard the name. Sharing space in a short strip mall with Journey Church, PTL looks much smaller from the outside than […]
Perla Taqueria – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located in a former Mrs. Winner’s on Piedmont Avenue, just north of the intersection with Cheshire Bridge, I’ve seen the brightly colored Perla Taqueria many times. With an original plan to cross another place off “the list”, that plan was thwarted by arriving twenty-plus minutes before they opened. Regrouping, I considered […]
The Butcher and the Baker – Marietta, GA
You know how baseball players and point guards get in hitting or shooting slumps? We were in a fine dining slump. It seems as if the majority of the last new, nice places that we went had gone to had been disappointing. (Sure barbecue joints, diners and ethnic restaurants can be nice, but I’m talking […]
West & Mill Bistro Bar – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Heading to a show at the Fox, I went to opentable to look for someplace that was both nearby and new. When a 1,000 point spot showed up at West & Mill, I checked the reviews and menu and clicked on the 6:00 slot. (A 1,000 point reservation generally means one […]
