A&A Restaurant & Convenience – Allentown, GA
As I’ve said before, the genesis of this blog was the quest for the perfect burger. I’m always asking folks, after I meet them, “where is your favorite burger in your home town?”. And people are often sending me links or articles when they hear about a great burger. One of Jo’s friends gave her […]
John’s Biscuit & Pizza – Hiram, GA
Several weeks ago, a friend of ours from Journey Group told me that we needed to try out John’s Biscuits & Pizza. With a name like that, how could it be a bad choice? Sure, you wouldn’t (probably) want biscuits and pizza together (I don’t know that I’ve ever tried it), but, separately? Two perfectly […]
Crawfish Shack Seafood – Atlanta, GA
When a friend and I decided that we were meeting for lunch on Tuesday, he let me pick the place. With his office at Ashford-Dunwoody and mine in Duluth, there isn’t a whole lot that is equi-distant. I remembered seeing something about Crawfish Seafood Shack in Atlanta magazine and in an edition of Marie, Let’s […]
The Spence – Atlanta, GA
As we headed downtown for another wedding shopping venture (IKEA, this time), I saw that we’d be near Richard Blais’ latest enterprise, the Spence. I’ve reviewed a couple of his other places (Flip and HD1) and we decided to give this one a try. The Spence is part of the Concentrics Group, most of which […]
PURE Taqueria – Duluth, GA
Over the last couple of years, the city of Duluth has gone through a resurgence. On the corner near where the train depot used to stand is what appears to be a refurbished gas station – roll up bay doors and all. Now most all of this was built in the last two years, but […]
Cafe Restaurante Dominicano – Norcross, GA
So another day rolls around and I’m the only member of my lunch crowd that’s “in the office”. Not in the mood for the any of the regular spots, I open up my “lists” to see what is near the office. Every restaurant on the list appears to be Asian and I’m just not in […]
Holy Taco – Atlanta, GA
Holy Taco has been on the list of places that I wanted to try for several months, but we never seemed to be in that neighborhood (East Atlanta Village) AND to be in the mood for tacos at the same time. We arrived around 2:00 on a Sunday and, aside from the party of eight […]
The Sound Table – Atlanta, GA
For the last several months, I kept hearing about the Sound Table, off Edgewood. One thing that I really hate is waiting forever for a table, so we generally pick a place where we can make a reservation, generally via Open Table. The Sound Table has never shown up for me on Open Table, therefore […]
Mesa – Las Vegas, NV
As we were planning out the week’s food events, we had originally planned to dine at Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare. But the timing didn’t work out with other things, so instead we made a reservation at Bobby Flay’s Mesa, at Ceasar’s Palace. We arrived for an early dinner (5:45) and the place was already beginning to […]
Le Burger Brasserie – Las Vegas, NV
Looking for a quick bite before a meeting and seeing the variety of burger options available at Le Burger Brasserie , I thought it might be a good quick, lunch choice. Located in the Paris resort in Vegas (technically, it is in the walkway between the Paris and Bally’s resorts), it is, for all intents […]
