Aria – Atlanta, GA
Over the last several years, Aria has kind of faded from the limelight of Atlanta dining. Not because of a degradation of service or a decline in the quality of the food, but due to the overwhelming number of restaurants in Atlanta. Maybe it was the change in the dining scene focus to New Southern […]
The Ravenous Pig – Winter Park, FL
Heading down to Orlando for a three day convention, one of the first things that I did was Google for the best buger, as there were no central Florida entries in Hamburger America. One of the places that was on multiple lists was the Ravenous Pig, up in Winter Park. One of the blog reviews […]
The Counter – Roswell, GA
Before we headed over to Good Friday Atlanta, this seemed like a good chance to sample the Counter. I had heard the Counter mentioned several times in the last year, but we rarely get to Roswell to eat. Tonight, as our destination was about five minutes away was the perfect opportunity. I didn’t realize until […]
Busy Bee Cafe – Atlanta, GA
For the last several years, I’ve seen the Busy Bee Cafe on every list that was made about places to eat in Atlanta. Since they close at 7:00 pm, they aren’t an option for dinner out for me most nights, but on a random Thursday I was driving through town at 6:00 pm and looking […]
The Shed at Glenwood – Atlanta, GA
We went into the Shed at Glenwood, early on a Sunday evening a while back for an early dinner. This is one of those places that I’ve been meaning to go for a while and the chance never seemed to arise. This night, we were driving back from Decatur on I-20 and realized just how […]
Kyma – Atlanta, GA
To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma. We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table. The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]
The Red Eyed Mule – Marietta, GA
While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine. A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule. I knew we were […]
Pollos Asados Rio Grande – Odessa, TX
As I was waiting outside Watts Burgers, I noticed the constant flow of traffic at Pollos Asados Rio Grande. Roughly twenty cars in twenty minutes. And since a) my burger was nothing to write home about (or to both of y’all about), b) I had two hours plus before my flight back through Dallas and […]
