The Chastain – Atlanta, GA
On this Saturday afternoon we were running some errands that started in Chamblee, then sent us towards the city on Roswell Road. As lunch approached, I looked on the list, saw that the Chastain was close by and hopped over to Resy and grabbed a 1:15 spot. As we pulled up, I told my beloved […]
Sabaraba’s – Chamblee, GA
Out and about on a Saturday, and looking for something to eat that a) was near where we were going and b) fit a mutually agreed upon spot for lunch. The place we were heading was Chamblee. This was easy for food – there are literally dozens, if not scores of options. Mutually agreed upon […]
Ela – Atlanta, GA
On this Sunday, we were headed for the (supposedly awesome) cheeseburgers at Evergreen Butcher and Baker, which are only available on Sundays. So we headed downtown, parked down the street and walked toward the restaurant. There wasn’t the expected line – just a sign on the door that they were “pausing” the Sunday cheeseburgers. […]
Roshambo – Atlanta, GA
Looking for a lunch spot on a random Saturday, I remembered an article I read recently about the burger at Roshambo. Always down for a cheeseburger, we headed that way and arrived right at 3:00, as they were changing shifts. We were initially seated in the bar, at a high top that was aptly named […]
Westside Bar-B-Que & Cakes – New Albany, MS
For the last 10 years, I’ve had Westside Bar-B-Que (& Cakes) in New Albany, Mississippi, on my list. And we’ve driven thru New Albany at least twelve times, over those years. But we were never there on the right day. We always are driving thru on Wednesday or Monday, going to or from the Walnut […]
The Po’ Boy Shop – Decatur, GA
In a listing of best sandwiches in Atlanta, the Po’ Boy Shop appeared. It actually had appeared before me on three occasions, when I had tried, unsuccessfully, to get a Cuban sandwich next door at Buena Gente, but I had looked past it. On a Sunday afternoon, looking for something to carry home for dinner, […]
Dicky Doo’s Diner – Lawrenceville, GA
Like many lunches, today’s journey began with a quick Google search. I put in “barbecue restaurants near me” and perused the results. Forgetting that my company is in Duluth, I found that eight of the first nine entries were Korean barbecue – not exactly what I had in mind. The one that was not, was […]
Bon Ton – Atlanta, GA
After an afternoon at Top Golf with our daughter and son-in-law, followed by some shopping, since we were already in town, it was time to head home. The original plan was to pick up some barbecue on the southside of 20, but, by not paying attention to Atlanta sports schedules, we found ourselves stuck in […]
The Companion – Atlanta, GA
Almost 7 years ago, to the day, we visited Steinbeck’s Ale House, in Oakhurst, after hearing about their burger. A couple of weeks ago, I was reading an article about restaurants that had opened in 2020 (and survived Covid) that ought to be visited. And it was there that I read about Steinbeck’s chef, Andy […]
