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 […]
The Grey – Savannah, GA
Everybody, everywhere, seems to be talking about Mashama Bailey lately (she was on CBS Saturday morning last weekend, for example). When we were heading to the beach, and going to be in Savannah for lunch, I had an idea where we’d be stopping: The Grey, where Ms Bailey is executive chef. In what was […]
Mission + Market – Atlanta, GA
Mission + Market was a “double-find”, for me, in the same week: first I saw it appear on the Eater.com Atlanta “hot list” and then, one of my friends, who lives in Buckhead, was telling me about a great new place that had opened in his neighborhood. When we were making in-town dinner plans with […]
Husk – Greenville, SC (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.
Spring – Marietta, GA
Since eating there, chef Brian So has been named as a semi-finalist for a James Beard award for Rising Star of the Year, 2017. And,in 2024, Spring was among Atlanta’s first group of recipients of a Michelin star. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, […]
Floataway Cafe – Atlanta, GA
Another spot from the original 2006 food list, Floataway Cafe, was our dining destination tonight. After eleven years, we were finally near the right place at dinner time, so I used the Resy app to make a reservation. We headed toward Emory, then down Zonolite road, into an industrial park. Near the dead end, we […]
The Tropicale – Palm Springs, CA (Photo Blog Post)
You know how servers are always pushing dessert? So the waiter comes back to the table and asks how it was. We tell they were both stellar and ask for a dessert menu. “After the pork chop??” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the […]
Sushi House Hayakawa – Atlanta, GA
Another place that has been on the list for a decade is Sushi House Hayakawa. When it first appeared on my radar, I was not nearly as adventurous an eater as I’ve evolved into. As a result, whenever I was looking for a place to go, it kept moving toward the bottom of the list. […]
Rose’s Luxury – Washington, DC
If you read yesterday’s lament (note: the lament was definitely not about where I ate – which was a phenomenal meal, but about where I didn’t get to eat) about the plumbing problem, that once again, thwarted my attempt to go to Rose’s Luxury, you’ll be pleased to hear that the quest is finally over. […]
Little Serow – Washington, DC
Every spring, for the last twenty-something years, I head to a conference in Washington, DC. As with every other adventure I take, there’s always planning around the Omnivore’s Dilemna. Last year, I tried to get to a restaurant that was new to the scene in 2014 and has been named the second best restaurant in […]
