The Pelican and the Pig – Nashville, TN
In town for an anniversary weekend, I was looking for dinner options and the Pelican and the Pig kept appearing as recommended choice. 2019 Eater Nashville Restaurant of the Year being among them. So off to Resy I went and we were booked for an early dinner in East Nashville. Husband and wife chef team […]
Chauhan Ale & Masala House (Thanksgiving Edition) – Nashville, TN
As Thanksgiving got closer and closer, we realized that we would not have any kids home for the holiday and we had no other obligations, sSo we left town. We remembered hearing on the Biscuits and Jam podcast (from Southern Living, a podcast which I highly recommend) episode with Maneet Chauhan that her Chauhan Masala […]
Chez Fonfon – Birmingham, AL
Pretty much ever since I’ve had a food list, Chez Fonfon has been on it (I added it from Southern Living’s list of the best restaurants in the South from August, 2014). And this French restaurant, from Frank Stitt of Highlands Bar & Grill fame, open since 2000, was on the list for, oddly, what […]

Banshee – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, we were out and wandering about and I was shopping for snap button shirts. We were in a vintage shop in Decatur and I was discussing the challenge of finding vintage Wranglers and Rustlers with another gentleman (we were both wearing and looking for the shirts). Turned out, the other shopper was […]

The White Bull – Decatur, GA
Several months back, I read about the opening of the White Bull, in Decatur. It is located in that space near the Brick Store Pub that has been several failed restaurants. Named after Hemingway’s description of a blank piece of paper in front of him, the implication is that the menu is a blank canvas […]
