Yuka Roll & Pho – Suwanee, GA
Yet another day of dining alone at lunch led me to Yuka Roll & Pho in Suwannee. I had eaten in the Thai restaurant at the other end of this plaza, but had never been to Roll & Pho. When I walked in, I was greeted by the two chefs behind the sushi bar (which […]
CheoGaJip My Favorite Chicken – Duluth, GA
My original plan for lunch today was to meet some fellow food bloggers at Tempo Doeloe, but the timing stars did not align, so I was forced to regroup. Since I was on my own and already contemplating Asian food, I headed toward Assi Plaza on Old Peachtree Road to see what I might find. […]
The Mughals – Norcross, GA
In today’s episode our intrepid hero goes in search of chicken 65. Then he begins to ponder: If there is religious significance in the numerological naming?; and What the first 64 versions of the dish lasted like? Actually, this was a lunch meet up with some other Atlanta food bloggers (Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, […]
Tasty China – Marietta, GA
Back in the beginning of my food quest, I carried around some paper lists in a plastic folder in the trunk. Among those was a printout from Atlanta magazine from 2006 (or 2007) with a list of restaurants, by area of town. One of the places that I remember from that list was Tasty China, […]
Five Spice Asian Fusion – Duluth, GA
For the past seven plus years, about once a month, we’ve eaten lunch at Chin Chin Seven, on Sugarloaf Parkway. If you aren’t aware, Chin Chin is a Atlanta franchise, currently with nine locations. Then one day, when we went for lunch, the name had changed to Five Spice Asian Fusion. We didn’t know what […]
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 […]
Bhojanic – Atlanta, GA
I first heard about Bhojanic from Atlanta magazine in the fall of 2011, when they appeared (out of nowhere, at least to me) on the list of the 50 best restaurants in Atlanta. Since then, I’ve been looking for the right time to go and this afternoon, when we were heading downtown relatively early, I […]
Nam Phuong – Norcross, GA
For the last couple of years, every article that I read about food in Atlanta mentioned Nam Phoung, in Norcross. When a friend and I were looking for a place to celebrate his birthday lunch, and I realized that Nam Phoung was between our offices, I suggested it and he thought it sounded like fun. […]
Honey Pig – Duluth, GA
In my never-ending quest to visit as many of Atlanta’s 50 Best Restaurants (according to Atlanta Magazine last summer), before a new list comes out, this week’s adventure took me to the Honey Pig, in Duluth. First off, I didn’t have nearly the issues that I had with the language at Myong Ga Won so […]
