One Flew South – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of years, I’ve read about how good the food is at One Flew South. And not just in the local press – the first write-up I remember was in Conde Nast Traveler. It was even named as a semi-finalist for a James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Service award. But I never had […]

Trowbridge’s Ice Cream and Sandwich Bar – Florence, AL
Today was road trip Saturday, so we set out on the three and a half-hour drive northeast to Florence / Muscle Shoals. I had a few stops in mind, and we arrived at the first around 10:20 Central time. But since we had arisen prior to 7:00 Eastern, this was a perfectly acceptable time […]
Cochon Butcher – Nashville, TN (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.
Kavarna Coffee – Decatur, GA
So…. after the really bland burger, my beloved asked me how close we were to “that place with the house-made pumpkin spice latte”. That phrase equates to Kavarna Coffee. Earlier in the month, when we ate at Steinbeck’s, the server had told us how good the pumpkin spice latte was across the street. We went […]
Einstein’s – Atlanta, GA
Looking for a brunch spot, on Open Table (so we didn’t have to wait) on the way to midtown, you only have so many choices. I didn’t know that I’ve been to Einstein’s in at least five years and knew that I hadn’t blogged about it, so I grabbed the 10:45 slot and we parked […]
The Big Texan – Amarillo, TX
If you’ve driven through any parts of the American West, on or near I-40, you’ve likely seen the signs for the Big Texan Steak Ranch. And their 72 ounce steak challenge – eat the shrimp cocktail, baked potato, salad, with roll, butter, and of course the 72 oz. steak, in one hour, and it is […]
Gabe’s Downtown – Douglasville, GA
At some point in the last few months, a new restaurant has opened in downtown Douglasville. We first noticed it when we went to look at the 1950s McDonald’s “set” they had built for the Ray Kroc biopic that was filming here last month. We were excited to see they had opened – one of […]
Sublime Doughnuts – Atlanta, GA
So, here it was on my birthday and I had a business meeting at the office with a client in from out of town. I had wanted to swing by Revolution Doughnuts, (it was my birthday) to show off some of the uniqueness of our city, but I had also wanted to try Sublime Doughnuts […]
Diner – Atlanta, GA
As we really enjoy Rosebud, I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Ron Eyester’s Diner since I first heard word of it last summer. With a limited opening on March 5 (serving a limited version of the menu), we decided to stop in the afternoon for an early dinner and see what we thought. […]
