H Harper Station – Atlanta, GA
Housed in the old Atlanta and West Point railroad station, I have seen H Harper Station several times as we headed off the Glenwood Avenue exit toward Memorial over the last couple of years. And I remember having read about them in several different magazines over the last year, being particularly intrigued by their Kentucky […]
Mr Ed’s Oyster Bar – Metairie, LA
Arriving in Metairie for a meeting, I was surprised when they asked me what I wanted to do for lunch. Because, as always, when there was food involved, I did have a plan. Before I left, I looked on my list, for places near where we were going to be, and found Bozo’s in the […]
Sun In My Belly – Decatur, GA
Looking for a dinner choice for Friday night, it really boiled down to the confluence of the answers to two questions: 1) What sounds good?; and 2) Where can we get a reservation? When I saw Sun In My Belly appear as a choice on OpenTable, I clicked on the first time slot that we […]
Illegal Food @ Joystick – Atlanta, GA
On Monday night , driving home from dropping something off in town, I noticed Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, for the first time. It’s on a stretch of road I don’t often drive, but the name stuck in my mind. Then on Tuesday, Business Insider wrote this article about the best burgers in each state. They […]
Trackside Grill – Kennesaw, GA
As we were leaving church on Sunday morning, we saw my nephew and his wife in the parking lot and they mentioned that they were heading to the Big Shanty Festival in Kennesaw that afternoon. We hadn’t heard of the festival, or planned to go, but Jo was curious and I thought that there might […]
Rhea’s Take Out Foods – Roswell, GA
Let me preface this blog post by saying that it’s easier for us to eat in the city of Atlanta than it is to eat in Roswell. It may actually be easier to eat in Chattanooga or Birmingham. There’s just not a good way to get there from Paulding County. It takes FOREVER. Nevertheless, today […]
Chat and Choo – Villa Rica, GA
Today’s adventure takes us to the Chat and Choo (See what they did there? Choo versus Chew? It’s across the street from the railroad tracks), downtown in the City of Riches. In case you didn’t know, Villa Rica was the home of Georgia’s first gold rush, in 1826. As we parked and were crossing US […]
Olympic Flame – Atlanta, GA
I’m going to guess that fifty or more times, in the past six years, I’ve driven by the Olympic Flame. And on nearly every one of those occasions, it has been closed. But I had been intrigued by the sign – “You need to eat. We need the money.” Then a month or so ago, […]
Aqua Terra Bistro – Buford, GA
Today, as the second ice/snow event of the year closed in upon us, I was meeting someone for lunch at Rico’s World Kitchen, in Buford. When I got there, I got a primo parking spot, and then looked around and realized that was because there weren’t but two other cars there. As I got out […]
Cosmopolitan Restaurant – Marietta, GA
When I was searching OpenTable for restaurant reservations, and a place on Delk Road popped up, I was intrigued. I couldn’t think of a single restaurant that was there, except for where Spaghetti Warehouse used to be. When we followed the GPS into the parking lot shortly after noon, I realized that’s exactly where we […]
