Burke’s Grill – Douglasville, GA
As we get ready to kick off a food weekend, for Friday night dinner we were looking for someplace that met three key criteria: 1) new / different; 2) local (we would be in the city on Saturday and Sunday); and 3) good. One of the issues with where we are in the ‘burbs is […]
Dairy Ranch – Jesup, GA
Driving toward Jesup I was, as always, searching for just the right place for lunch. Google-ing on the way down for South Georgia barbecue restaurants, I ran across a blog post about the Rusty Pig in Glennville, which looked like it might be a good choice. We could actually re-route and drive through Glennville and […]
Partridge Restaurant – Rome, GA
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we drove up to Rome to attend an honor society induction and to have lunch with our daughter and her boyfriend. When you attempt to avoid chain restaurants in Rome, your choices are somewhat limited. We headed downtown to Broad Street, likely headed to Jefferson’s or Harvest Moon, when the […]
Vinings Inn – Atlanta, GA
As Saturday night was right around the corner, we were looking for a reasonable place for dinner with another couple, semi-close to home. I consulted the oracle (open table) looking for a place in Vinings with a 6:30 reservation open and found a couple with availability at which we hadn’t eaten. I did a quick […]
JCT – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, before I started taking pictures of my food, we had dinner at JCT on a couple of occasions. But I had never had their fried chicken. As Ford Fry seems to be the “it ” chef in Atlanta right now, I’d seen several reviews in the last several months, all talking about […]
Prince’s Hot Chicken – Nashville, TN
When we were heading to Nashville, one of the first food goals was hot chicken. What is hot chicken, you ask? It is a Nashville creation and a local delicacy, created by marinating the chicken in buttermilk, then breading it then rubbing it with a paste that is heavily spiced with cayenne pepper. And the […]
White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails – Atlanta, GA
(A quick review): Looking for a place to meet a couple of folks for lunch in-town, I pulled up their work address on the map, zoomed in and checked out the restaurants in close proximity. White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails showed up. The name had been on my radar for a couple of months, so […]
Bantam + Biddy – Atlanta, GA
I remember hearing about the opening of Shaun Doty (formerly of Shaun’s / currently of Yeah Burger) and Lance Gummere’s (formerly of the Shed at Glenwood) Bantam + Biddy some months back, but had forgotten about it until I read an article about Scoutmob’s anticipated 2013 restaurant openings. They’re opening another organic local-poultry place at […]
Curly’s Fried Chicken – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I saw, several months back that Curly’s Fried Chicken had appeared on the site of the defunct Leroy’s Fried Chicken on Howell Mill. One Saturday while we were roaming around the city, I decided to grab some carry-out for dinner before we headed back to the suburbs. The first thing I […]
Gold House Restaurant – Nahunta, GA
In the midst of a South Georgia swing on business, we were heading from Jacksonville to Jesup and lunch-time was right around the corner. We missed our first chance for food in Folkston (it was only 11:00) and as we rolled into Nahunta, GA (population slightly less than 1,000), we knew we needed to find […]
