Table 33 (formerly Crepe Revolution) – Smyrna, GA

I remember reading about Crepe Revolution last spring, in the Atlanta Magazine Cheap Eats edition, and had put it on “the list”, but had never made it by for a meal. Today when we were making a brunch/lunch choice, with a later shopping destination in Marietta, was the perfect opportunity. Located right off 285 on […]

Nick’s Food To Go – Atlanta, GA

I’d heard about Nick’s Food to Go for several years, likely starting with a rerun episode of “Georgia Eats” on PBS one night. I’d even driven by it a couple of times this week (at the corner of Hill and MLK) in the morning on the way to work, trying to find my way around […]

Front Page News – Atlanta, GA

I hadn’t been to Front Page News in years, when I set up a meeting downtown with a fellow from Newnan.  We were going to split the distance between our offices and he suggested that we meet there. Years ago, when we first started our in-town eating adventures, Front Page News (the one in Little […]

Eats – Atlanta, GA

Heading downtown for what, ultimately, turned out to be a non-existent event, I was torn, once again, with the question, “What do I want to eat?”  My first instinct was for a box of hot Krispy Kreme glazed donuts, but reason prevailed and I determined I needed “real” food.  So there I was, on Ponce […]

Six Feet Under – Atlanta, GA

Looking back, I can’t believe that I haven’t written about Six Feet Under.  We used to eat there quite regularly, at the original location across from Oak Lawn Cemetery (hence the name), in Grant Park.   A couple of years back they moved down the street (Tin Lizzy is in their old location) into new digs […]

The Spence – Atlanta, GA

As we headed downtown for another wedding shopping venture (IKEA, this time), I saw that we’d be near Richard Blais’ latest enterprise, the Spence.  I’ve reviewed a couple of his other places (Flip and HD1) and we decided to give this one a try.  The Spence is part of the Concentrics Group, most of which […]

The Sound Table – Atlanta, GA

For the last several months, I kept hearing about the Sound Table, off Edgewood. One thing that I really hate is waiting forever for a table, so we generally pick a place where we can make a reservation, generally via Open Table. The Sound Table has never shown up for me on Open Table, therefore […]

Mesa – Las Vegas, NV

As we were planning out the week’s food events, we had originally planned to dine at Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare.  But the timing didn’t work out with other things, so instead we made a reservation at Bobby Flay’s Mesa, at Ceasar’s Palace.  We arrived for an early dinner (5:45) and the place was already beginning to […]

CUT by Wolfgang Puck – Las Vegas, NV

Having a chance to be in Vegas for a couple of days for a conference, this of course led to food opportunities. I was shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you) when I went to my burger reference points and I had no places listed to try. The Burger Bar at the Wynn was mentioned in a […]

The Steak House – Rockmart, GA

This Saturday evening, we were meeting the Coolest Journey Group Ever at the Steak House in Rockmark.   Jo and I had been there a couple of times over the last three years, after hearing some folks talk about it.  In fact, it is like a standing Abbott & Costello routine.  “What’s the name of the […]
