Taqueria del Sol – Atlanta, GA

Taqueria del Sol is a place that always seems to have a line out front.  I remember eating there a couple of times over the last few years and it was good, but I don’t think I have been since I started blogging.  And I don’t “get” the line.  It’s always been good, but the […]

Vinny’s New York Pizza & Grill – Duluth, GA

We’ve been visiting Vinny’s New York Pizza for at least the last eight years as a lunch time spot, yet I’ve somehow failed to mention them.  Today when I went to get a quick bowl of pho, I found that Miss Saigon had ended it’s run.  (This is not an obscure Broadway reference, but rather […]

Family Restaurant – Duluth, GA

One day, deciding that I wanted to eat something different for lunch, I ended up back at Family Restaurant.  (I’d add a link to their website here, but they don’t seem to have one.  They do have a Facebook page, here, which has had very little activity.)  Located just next door to the grill at […]

Atlanta Fish Market – Atlanta, GA

We hadn’t been to the Atlanta Fish Market in several years.  Armed with a gift card for the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, we were looking for a dining option in Buckhead for lunch and AFM was the consensus decision.  That giant fish is quite a sight as you turn onto Pharr Road, off Peachtree. We […]

Chick-a-Biddy – Atlanta, GA

Several months back, I read in one of the Yelp blogs about a new chicken “shack” opening in Atlantic Station from the Bantam & Biddy team, Chick-a-Biddy.  They opened a little over two weeks ago, and I’d been intending to get there at some point in the near future.  As I was heading downtown to […]

Cardamom Hill – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Cardamom Hill is one of the other places that kept appearing, over and over, on the Best of Atlanta lists.  After such a great experience at Bhojanic (we’ve been back since our first visit with another couple), we figured we might actually like Indian food and we were on a roll…  […]

Umaido – Suwanee, GA

In last year’s Spring Dining Guide in the AJC, Umaido was listed.  That was the first and only mention I had seen of it in the last couple of years, but they were still on one of my “lists”.  Looking for adventure on a Friday we ended up heading in that direction.  Just getting to […]

Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q – Flowery Branch, GA

I’d like to start this entry with a tip of the hat to Marie, Let’s Eat for pointing me toward Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q.  When I got the email signalling the blog entry about their visit, I was excited to find a new place (relatively) near my office that was getting good reviews.  I have a […]

Sugar’s Ribs – Chattanooga, TN

As you drive south on I-24 from Nashville, there are repeated signs touting the glories of Sugar’s Ribs (“Best Barbecue – 2011”, etc).  Then as you  head through Chattanoga, just as you’re about to go into the giant curve toward Atlanta, you’re suddenly confronted by this giant woman holding a tray of ribs, with a […]

Bar-B-Cutie – Murfreesboro, TN

When you drive by a place and see the cowgirl on this sign, how can you not stop?  That was the dilemma I was faced with.  I had seen another location on Friday afternoon and had then driven by this one on the way to Fat Mo’s.  (Whenever I see a tag line like that […]
