Paolo’s Gelato Italiano- Atlanta, GA
There was a summer about four or five years ago when nearly every visit to the city for a weekend dinner ended up with someone saying, “How about some gelato?” There would then be affirmation from the rest of the car and we’d head toward Virginia-Highlands and Paolo’s Gelato Italiano. We fell in love with […]
Goin’ Coastal – Atlanta, GA
On a recent Saturday evening out with another couple, we finally tried a place that I’ve been meaning to get to for at least a year, Goin’ Coastal Seafood, in Virginia-Highlands. We’d seen it on frequent visits to Paolo’s. One of my friends kept telling me I had to go. So, this week, when we […]
Minetta Tavern – NYC
As we were finishing up the weekend in New York, we headed down to Greenwich Village for Sunday brunch at Minetta Tavern. For the majority of the weekend it had rained, so when we woke up and the sun was (almost) shining, we decided to walk the forty blocks to brunch. Now these were short […]
Adrienne’s Pizzabar – NYC
On a rainy Saturday morning, we headed down to the Financial District. One of my co-workers had sent me a link to a pizza place that a friend of his said was the best in the city. We didn’t really have any plans for the morning, so I googled them, found they didn’t have a […]
Trailer Park Lounge – NYC
After lunch at Adrienne’s Pizzabar, we took a taxi up to Chelsea Market at 16th street for some shopping and then walking around in the rain. As we headed back up town, towards Times Square, I began working up a burger appetite. I consulted the Hamburger America app and found that there were two choices […]
Burger Joint – NYC
I first heard about the Burger Joint in le Parker Meridian four or five years ago when I asked a business colleague where to find the best burger in NYC. I was shocked to hear that it was behind a giant velvet curtain, in the lobby of a fairly swank hotel, near Central Park. Then […]
JCT – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, before I started taking pictures of my food, we had dinner at JCT on a couple of occasions. But I had never had their fried chicken. As Ford Fry seems to be the “it ” chef in Atlanta right now, I’d seen several reviews in the last several months, all talking about […]
SOHO – Vinings, GA
For Valentine’s Day, we were looking for a spot on the way downtown and SOHO was one of the places that popped up with an open reservation. We actually attempted to eat there a couple of years ago – we even had a reservation. But I confused where we I had made the reservation with […]
Steverino’s – Duluth, GA
It’s Friday, it’s lunch time and it’s raining, as a co-worker and I headed into downtown Duluth without a dining destination in mind. We did, however, have the solution that we’d eat at whichever restaurant had the closest parking spot available (solid reasoning, right?) What’s that – a spot on the curb, right in front […]
The Iberian Pig – Decatur, GA
Note: I’m not usually one for reading diner reviews before I go some place, but the sub-90% from Urbanspoon and the low stars in Open Table through up enough of a red flag that I did some investigation, making sure there wasn’t a “food issue”. You’ll see references to reviews below that I don’t usually […]
