Dick’s Hideaway – Phoenix, AZ (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 Stand – Phoenix, AZ

Coming into Arizona from the east coast during the 8 months or so when they’re on Pacific time, always makes eating a challenge.  By the time we landed, got a car and were on the road, it was both time for dinner (6:30 locally) and time for bed (9:30 at home).  I made the executive […]

 Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno – Austell, GA

Earlier this year, I spent quite a few evenings in the Austell area.  Several times I drove by Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno, at the corner of Hicks and Austell Roads.  and thought, “I wonder what that place’s food is like?”   As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]

Casa Grande – Austell, GA

For the last several months, I had noticed Casa Grande Bar and Grill in front of the theatre at the intersection of East-West Connector and Powder Springs Road.  It always seemed to be busy, but I figured it was just another Mexican restaurant.  On this Sunday afternoon, we decided to give it a try.  The […]

Versace Dominican Food – Norcross, GA

When I was looking for a place to turn around to get back to Sabor Inka, I found Versace Dominican Food and filed it away for later.  Today ended up being “later”.  Walking in, it is cafeteria style and you’re confronted with the large menu – thank goodness for the pictures as the names of the […]

Sabor Inka – Norcross, GA

Heading out for lunch on lone wolf Thursday, I was looking for something new. I headed down Pleasant Hill Road towards 29, a stretch of road on which I usually don’t drive.  Then I saw the sign above, with a banner underneath it that said that they were now open seven days a week, and […]

Armando’s Caribe – Duluth, GA

So one day I’m sitting in the office and my boss walks in and says, “have you tried that new Cuban place in Duluth?” My eyes lit up like a kid at Christmas.  He took that as a no.  So a week later, we met for lunch at Armando’s Caribe Grill.  The name didn’t scream […]

Bartaco – Atlanta, GA

Earlier this week, when talking about taquerias, someone mentioned how much their son was enjoying Bartaco on the Westside.  I made a mental note and when looking for lunch, I plugged in their address and off we went.  To say that this  was not what I was expecting was a gross understatement.   It wasn’t […]

El Taco Veloz – Sandy Springs, GA

Looking for a quick bite on Thursday as I headed around the top-end perimeter, I jumped off at Roswell Road, certain I’d find something.   And I did – local chain El Taco Veloz.  They have five locations in the metro area and one in Gainesville.  Just south of 285, this location is near the […]
