Talay Thai Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Talay Thai Cuisine has become part of our regular lunch time rotation. Located in a strip mall, at the corner of Satellite Boulevard and Old Peachtree Road, they’re in a location that is about to get a BP next door. That will make an already challenging parking situation even more complicated. One of the guys […]
Yet Tuh – Doraville, GA
Yet Tuh came to my mind as we headed up Buford Highway on a Saturday afternoon. I had read a review about them in Atlanta Magazine, recently, which (basically) said that a meal at Yet Tuh is like Sunday lunch at your grandma’s house – provided that your grandma is Korean and can cook. […]
I Luv Pho – Norcross, GA
One of my co-workers has invited me several times to join him at I Luv Pho and, not being the biggest pho fan, I’ve passed. Today, he mentioned it again and I asked the question I should have asked the first time – “Do they have anything other than pho?” The answer was a resounding […]
Man Chun Hong – Doraville, GA
Man Chun Hong is another place that has been on my list since 2006. Not being a giant kimchi fan, Korean places tend to keep getting leap-frogged by other cuisine in the area. This Sunday morning, we were heading up Buford Highway and I read a few Yelp reviews on the way. Everyone was raving […]
Hankook Taqueria – Atlanta, GA
I first visited Hankook Taqueria back in early July and decided to take my lovely wife back as we headed in town this afternoon. On the first visit, it was a lone wolf Thursday and I was looking for something quick before heading downtown. I had heard about them in an article about Atlanta tacos and that […]
Canton Cooks – Sandy Springs, GA
On a rainy Sunday, we went looking for a Chinese restaurant from my list, China Cooks (this one had been on the list for five or more years). As I was looking for the address on Google, I ran across several Yelp reviews, almost all of whom said that they only ate at China Cooks, […]
Mizumi Ramen – Duluth, GA
I spend a lot of time trying to figure out where to eat. You know how it goes – there are a certain number of places that are in “the rotation” around your office or home, but sometimes you want something different than the usual. That’s what led me to Mizumi Ramen. I had seen […]
Nan Fine Thai Dining – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
For at least eight years, I’ve driven by Nan Thai Fine Dining at a minimum rate of three times per week – that’s a minimum of 1200 drive-bys without a stop-in. What I didn’t know was that Nan is one of 11 Atlanta restaurants rated as a AAA 4 Diamond award winner for 2015, which […]
Masterpiece – Duluth, GA
Masterpiece popped onto my radar with a small blurb in Atlanta magazine (you can read it yourself – it’s the last one on the wall on the left in the picture below) last month. It was a small article about food happenings around town and told briefly of Chef Liu’s path, starting in Atlanta at […]
Miso Isakaya – Atlanta, GA
Tonight’s challenge: show up without a reservation and convince the maitre ‘d that you can eat and clear his only empty table before a 7:15 reservation. That’s exactly what happened when we arrived at Miso Isakaya. We succeeded on both counts – on getting the table, and on getting out by 6:45. After the fantastic […]
