Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream – Atlanta, GA
About two weeks back, I noticed Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams had appeared on the Eater.com “What’s Hot in Atlanta” list. Then Thursday night, one of my buddies mentioned that they were going to “go to there” this weekend. When we ended up in the Westside Provision District, as part of my ongoing quest for a […]
Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand – Atlanta, GA
Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand is another of the places that I’d been intending to try for months and months. It seemed to take longer than normal to get this blog post written but it was a very simple explanation – I had accidentally deleted my photo of the signage. I had attempted to return on […]
Big Tex Decatur – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I’ve been intending to eat at Big Tex Decatur, a sister restaurant to Fox Brothers barbecue, for several months. But it always seemed that when I was in Decatur, I was on the way somewhere else. When I saw them mentioned in a Tweet from @foxbrosbarbq yesterday, I made a determination […]
The Optimist (Revisited) – Atlanta, GA
I’ve been meaning to take my beloved to the Optimist since early this year. We’ve even gotten as far as having a reservation with another couple (that we ended up having to cancel). Last week, while enjoying lunch at the General Muir, we were talking about the Muir’s recent inclusion in the fifty finalist for […]
The Brake Pad – College Park, GA
I could have sworn that I had previously blogged about the Brake Pad, but looking back I have not. My sister-in-law and her family live in historic College Park and we seem to end up at the Brake Pad primarily with them, and generally while there’s a Georgia game on the TV (her husband is […]
Caffe Gio – Atlanta, GA
After lunch at Tasty China, followed by a trip to IKEA, I felt the need for sweets on the way home. Driving through Home Park, stopping at Caffe Gio for gelato seemed like a great idea. Arriving close to 5:00, there was no one else there, although the tables on the patio showed signs of […]
The General Muir – Atlanta, GA
For months, everywhere I’ve looked, people have been raving about the General Muir. From all of the press right after it opened, to Atlanta Magazine recently naming it their Restaurant of the Year, to, most recently, being named one of the fifty best new restaurant nominees by Bon Appetit for their 2013 award. I’ve been […]
1kept – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, every time I went on open table to make a reservation, the first place that showed up had been 1kept. (And people wonder, “what’s in a name”?) I finally gave in to the product placement and when one of our dining-out couples asked about going out on Saturday night, […]
Rico’s World Kitchen – Buford, GA
A couple of weeks back we were having dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend and talking about food. What else would we discuss while we were eating? He mentioned this place in downtown Buford, Rico’s World Kitchen, and asked me if I had ever been. I had not. Intrigued at the idea of a […]
I stand corrected about Whataburger
In a earlier post about Five Guys, I commented that there were three great chains in this country, all that used fresh ground beef – Five Guys, Steak N Shake and In-N-Out, further commenting: “My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of […]
