Superica – Atlanta, GA
Sitting at home, watching NCAA conference championship weekend, the subject of lunch came up. I mentioned the excellent chicken tacos my love had enjoyed at El Felix last weekend and that we could get the same things at Superica in about half an hour. (Superica is Ford Fry’s newest Tex-Mex restaurant, in Krog Street Market, […]
Yalla – Atlanta, GA
Last month, when we visited Fred’s Meat and Bread, while we were in line Jo was eying the menu and counter at Yalla, a fast-fresh Mediteranean / contemporary Israeli foodstand. Yalla is a next door neighbor and sister restaurant to Fred’s, and another restaurant from Todd Ginsberg. The menu is quite simple – you can […]
Fred’s Meat & Bread – Atlanta, GA
We were heading from Little Five Points toward Midtown, down Dekalb Avenue, when the need for lunch beckoned. Originally planning to look for Thai (for the fourth time this week*), as we turned onto Krog Street, I remembered having read about the market just opening. We parked a couple of blocks away and walked back, […]
Ladybird Grove and Mess Hall – Atlanta, GA
I remember reading about the opening of Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall in the Old Fourth Ward several weeks back with a story about their whole pig roast, related to a celebration along the Atlanta Beltline (at mile 9.25). Today, before heading to the Georgia Tech game, I stopped by for a late lunch, parked […]
Wrecking Bar Brewpub – Atlanta, GA
Decades ago (pre-kids), we used to hang out in Little Five Points on the weekends (with all the suburban-wanna-be-punk-rockers) and one of the spots that we frequented was Architectural Antiques, housed in the Victor H. Kriegshaber House, which was built in the early 1900s. At that time, it was an antiques store full of pieces […]
Trace – Atlanta, GA
This Sunday’s morning episode of “what do you want to eat?” is brought to you by “where can we make a reservation that isn’t a barbecue restaurant?” I was looking for someplace that was billed as farm-to-table and the reviews of Trace seemed to fit that bill. As I was pulling up the address, I […]
Dough In the Box – Marietta, GA
My buddy, David, has told me several times how good the doughnuts are at Dough In the Box, but I never seemed to be by there when they were open (Tuesday – Sunday 5:00 am – 2:30 pm). Today, after a check up over near Cobb hospital (now that the midnight-to-appointment-time-fast was over) was the […]
The Hil on the Hill at Serenbe – Palmetto, GA
We had eaten at the Hil on the Hill a couple of times since it opened in 2007, but had not been in several years. Every time that we had been before, we had remarked as we left that we wondered if it would still be open the next time that we went to Serenbe, […]
Ecco – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
Looking for Friday night dinner plans, at the last minute, our prime criteria was not having to wait. Open Table found us a 7:15 spot at Ecco and (to quote John Lee Hooker ) “out the door I went.” I had eaten at Ecco some years back, meeting a friend before a basketball game, but […]
Vandy’s Bar-B-Q – Statesboro, GA
Ever since I was a kid, even before I knew that I loved barbecue, I knew about Vandy’s Bar-B-Q. The famed Atlanta writer Lewis Grizzard perpetually claimed they had the best Brunswick stew in the world, and some of the finest barbecue in the state. This was before there was an internet for all of […]
