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 […]

C.H.O.P. (Clay’s House of Pig) – East Tupelo, MS

>As we were driving to Kansas, it was approaching lunch time and we were in Mississippi. I put “barbecue” into Google maps and several popped up.  Clay’s House of Pig (C.H.O.P.) had the best name and was not too far off I-40, so off we went.  Pulling up to a restaurant that shares space with […]

Wes-Man’s Restaurant – White, GA (Photo Blog Post)

As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.

Chattahoochee Food Works – Atlanta, GA (Quick Bite)

In these pandemic times, for all of us, the world has changed. We still eat three meals a day, but for the last eighteen months very few of them have been “out”, particularly at a new restaurant. On this fall Saturday, we made an outing to IKEA. Since we were already hazarding the universe at […]
