Aqua Terra Bistro – Buford, GA
Today, as the second ice/snow event of the year closed in upon us, I was meeting someone for lunch at Rico’s World Kitchen, in Buford. When I got there, I got a primo parking spot, and then looked around and realized that was because there weren’t but two other cars there. As I got out […]
Landmark Diner – Atlanta, GA
After a couple of days snowbound by the 2014 Snowpocalypse, I had an afternoon meeting in the Georgia Pacific building in Five Points. Arriving about an hour before it was scheduled to start, I wandered the nearby blocks (avoiding icy spots and residual snow piles) looking for a lunch spot. It was then that I […]
Star Provisions 2 Go – Atlanta, GA
We’ve been to Star Provisions on many occasions – to pick up cheese or bread or something else – even a perfect anniversary gift one year. But we had never been there to eat – until today. Heading to a 2:00 GT basketball game, I wanted something different than one of our usual stops, so […]
Mama’s Paradise – Duluth, GA
In the perpetual hunt for something new and good near the office, I drove just south of 120 on Satellite to see what was happening in that strip mall. I found that there is a new Indian street food place that is opening soon (Currylicious – love that name) next door to a place that […]
My best of 2013
When I first started my food blogs in 2009 (I had two – one was purely for burgers and the other covered everything else), the mission was twofold: “Here’s the deal – the cheeseburger is the quintessential American food. A couple of years back, after reading a review in the Wall Street Journal about the […]
Cosmopolitan Restaurant – Marietta, GA
When I was searching OpenTable for restaurant reservations, and a place on Delk Road popped up, I was intrigued. I couldn’t think of a single restaurant that was there, except for where Spaghetti Warehouse used to be. When we followed the GPS into the parking lot shortly after noon, I realized that’s exactly where we […]
Pallookaville Fine Foods – Avondale Estates, GA
I’ll have to confess that when I told my wife we were going to a place for dinner that specialized in corndogs, I had a bit of a hard sell. And when I called another couple and said, “hey, y’all want to join us for dinner? We’re going to get some corndogs”, the question was […]
The Beautiful – Atlanta, Ga
One day last week, I was asking someone where they thought had the best fried chicken in the city, after reading the article in the current Atlanta Magazine. She explained that she wasn’t familiar with many of the places that made the list, but that her husband’s favorite place was the Beautiful Restaurant. Then I […]
Desta Ethiopian Kitchen – Atlanta, GA
On the all-knowing list (that used to be in the back of my car but now lives in Evernote), Desta Ethiopian Kitchen has been on there for multiple years. It constantly appears in lists from Atlanta magazine and Creative Loafing as the best Ethiopian food in town. I often wondered how big was the pool […]
Common Quarter – Marietta, GA
Seeing the latest spot from Muss & Turner and Local Three‘s owners, Common Quarter, appear on the Eater Atlanta “heat map”, reminded me that we needed to give it a try. I had read about their opening back in October and promptly forgot about it. Since we were a third of the way to east […]
