The Pinewood Social – Nashville, TN
After an attempt to eat a burger at a place recommended by a friend (even though I had called them on Friday and asked if they were open on New Years’ Day – she must have answered for New Years’ Eve), we were looking for another option. From the list I found a recommendation from […]
Better Half – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located on 14th Street, just off the Georgia Tech campus, is a relatively new entrant to the Atlanta dining scene – Better Half, which started life as a supper club, Pushstart Kitchen. Husband and wife Zach and Kristina Meloy began this labor of love at the Goat Farm in 2011 and […]
10 Degrees South
A Friday night date-night visit to another place that’s been on “the list” for more than 10 years, 10 Degrees South. Advertising itself as Atlanta’s only fine dining South African restaurant, we made an early reservation and arrived to a restaurant which was being filled, literally, from the left. According to our extremely helpful […]
Viande Rouge – Duluth, GA
I was heading into Atlanta from the office one evening for a concert and looking for a place to eat in between the two. I have had Viande Rouge Steakhouse on my list for a while, but it’s a long haul back to Duluth for dinner, so I never seemed to make it. Tonight, eating […]
Seven Lamps – Atlanta, GA
Back in 2013, eater.com put together a list of the “25 Hottest Burgers in America and the “secret burger” at Seven Lamps (a newcomer, at the time, to the Atlanta dining scene) made their list. I had never heard of the restaurant, but I did add it to my list. Located in the corner of […]
Uncle Jack’s Meat House – Duluth, GA
In a space that most recently was Cotton and Corn, at the office, we’ve been watching the anticipated opening of Uncle Jack’s Meat House. We eat next door (technically next door to next door), at Vinny’s, frequently and we heard, all summer, that they were opening in a couple of weeks. This is the first […]
The Acre – Auburn, AL
Today’s lunch at Acre was spurred by Southern Living’s “best restaurants in the South list” from 2014 (of which I keep a copy on my phone – who doesn’t) and a desire to get out of town for the day. Looking at options, I realized we could be in Auburn in less than 90 minutes from […]
The 404 Kitchen – Nashville, TN (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.
The Oceanaire Seafood Room – Atlanta, GA
After a “bust” evening at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival (note: just because the festival is open until 10:00, doesn’t mean the vendors are open past 7:00), we were looking for dinner. Since we’d already paid (quite handily) for parking, we looked for options within walking distance. I had eaten at the Oceanaire Seafood Room […]
Ambar – Washington, DC (Photo Blog Post)
