Local Three Kitchen & Bar (An Update) – Atlanta, GA
If I had a way to make a blog post sing, this one would sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” with the fervor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The brunch buffet is back at Local Three Kitchen & Bar! A couple of months back, I spoke of Local Three, praising the food and lamenting the loss of […]
Seasons 52 – Dunwoody, GA
After walking the Peachtree Road Race, we were ready for some food. And so was our oldest. So we put our heads together for a place close to where we both were – Cumberland and Lenox. Perimeter was the NATURAL choice! Well, maybe not, but when I mentioned Seasons 52 as an option, Jo affirmed […]
Boudreaux’s Cafe Acadiana – Duluth, GA
For the last several years, one of my favorite lunch spots near the office was Boudreaux’s Seafood on Buford Highway. It was a seafood market, that also served a great lunch. The guy that owns it is Cajun-born-and-bred (actually a Loyola-schooled tax lawyer) who years ago went looking for a good po-boy in Atlanta and […]
Henry’s Louisiana Grill – Acworth, GA
Acworth is an area to which we don’t frequently venture for dinner. When some friends of ours invited us to meet them at Henry’s Louisiana Grill one Monday night, we took the chance. I’m a cajun food fan, so I’m always up for trying a new place. We’d heard several folks talking about the food […]
HD1 Restaurant – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. After the culinary buzz he created about Flip Burger Boutique, everyone wondered what Richard Blaise’s next adventure would be. Once you’ve opened a gourmet burger joint, why not sell gourmet hot dogs? So HD1 Restaurant (Haute Doggery + Bar) opened in September of 2011. One evening as I was coming through […]
Kyma – Atlanta, GA
To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma. We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table. The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]
Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks – Atlanta, GA
So for about the last four or five years, I’ve driven by this giant sign for Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks on Monroe Drive and told myself, “Self, you’ve got to get one of those cheesesteaks.” But every time that I drove by there (mostly on Thursdays, mostly between 7:00 and 8:00 pm), it was closed. […]
Myung Ga Won – Duluth, GA
In one of the summer editions of Atlanta magazine, they named Myung Ga Won as one of the fifty best restaurants in Atlanta. One day last week, I was heading out to lunch alone and thought I’d give it a try. Walking in was just like going into Moe’s, except that everyone yelled at me […]
Cowboy Chow – Roanoke, TX
So on the same adventure that took me to burger spots Kincaid’s, Maple & Motor and Keller’s, I had the chance to have dinner with a friend on Monday night. He lives almost in Keller (no relation to the burger joint mentioned above, to my knowledge), just north of Fort Worth, and we were pretty […]
Fair Food – Winfield, KS
So, when I go to the Walnut Valley Festival (they call it “the Bluegrass”, we call it “Winfield”), there are generally abundances of three things: music, friends and food. Most of the time we eat in camp, but occasionally we go out, (like the jaunt to the Burger Station), but the other choice is food […]
