Bubba Mac’s – Douglasville, GA
I’d been talking about going to Bubba Mac’s for over a decade, but there never seemed to be the right time. They had been located on Highway 92, just north of downtown Douglasville, since 1997 but we never seemed to make it in (there location was not conducive to my traffic patterns, but they’ve developed […]
Shake Shack – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, we were visiting NYC for the weekend and I was in burger heaven. As we were getting ready to leave on Sunday morning, I realized that we had time to make a quick run to Shake Shack, just off Times Square. I enjoyed it at the time, although it paled next to […]
Little’s Food Store – Atlanta, GA
Today, after another heartbreaking GT basketball loss, I needed comforting. I chose to seek solace in a burger and, as I had been wanting to go to Little’s Food Store for a while – this was the perfect confluence of “need” and opportunity. This little grocery and grill in Cabbagetown has received recent press when […]
Union Hill Kitchen – Chamblee, GA
Sometime after Christmas, I was told that I was in charge of New Year’s Eve plans for our party of six. I immediately went to Google looking for options, then searched open table for available reservations. One of the options that came up was for Union Hill kitchen in Chamblee. We had seen executive chef […]
Fred’s Meat & Bread – Atlanta, GA
We were heading from Little Five Points toward Midtown, down Dekalb Avenue, when the need for lunch beckoned. Originally planning to look for Thai (for the fourth time this week*), as we turned onto Krog Street, I remembered having read about the market just opening. We parked a couple of blocks away and walked back, […]
Big Sky Buckhead – Atlanta, GA
One of the signs of a good meal is that while you’re eating it, you’re already thinking about who you can bring back. That’s what happened today, at lunch, at Big Sky Buckhead. Halfway through the meal, we were talking about a return trip and who we should bring with us. I have had Big […]
Trace – Atlanta, GA
This Sunday’s morning episode of “what do you want to eat?” is brought to you by “where can we make a reservation that isn’t a barbecue restaurant?” I was looking for someplace that was billed as farm-to-table and the reviews of Trace seemed to fit that bill. As I was pulling up the address, I […]
Zesto – Atlanta, GA
One day you look around and you realize that you’ve never said a word about someplace that you may eaten at all of your life. So, here goes. First, it’s Zesto – not Zesto’s, as most people (including me) say. They’ve been open, in Atlanta, since 1949, with four locations here (and one in Tyrone) […]
The Hil on the Hill at Serenbe – Palmetto, GA
We had eaten at the Hil on the Hill a couple of times since it opened in 2007, but had not been in several years. Every time that we had been before, we had remarked as we left that we wondered if it would still be open the next time that we went to Serenbe, […]
The Local – Marietta, GA
Today’s adventure began with errand running in Kennesaw, which led to being in the Marietta area for lunch. I remembered that I had seen a place on the complete opposite corner of the Square from the Butcher and the Baker that served “Breakfast and Lunch”, that I wanted to try, but I couldn’t remember the […]
