Big Chick – Washington, GA
Roaming the wilds of east Georgia, we’d been going from small town to smaller town, working our way through antique, thrift and junk stores. Our lunch destination was the metropolis of Washington. Georgia. We were heading to the Big Chick – a takeaway fried chicken place, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner since 1980, that I […]
Garbo’s Grill – Key West, FL
On our day of food in Key West, we shopped and ate our way down DuVal Street. We had our first lunch, of a wonderful lobster roll at DJs Clam Shack, and about two hours later we had arrived for second lunch. Garbo’s Grill is another Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives find, housed in […]
DJ’s Clam Shack – Key West, FL
In Key West for a day, as we headed out for the Caribbean, we took our day in port to wander. We walked Duval Street, dodging in and out of shops looking for treasures and, on my part, scoping out food choices. My dear wife remembered she had seen a couple of things on Diners, […]

Das BBQ
Sometimes, it feels like a place is just trying too hard – that’s my summary for this visit . Today, we headed to Das BBQ, after seeing it featured in Atlanta Eats and then getting a confirming positive vote from a lunch mate, yesterday. In all the pre-opening press, owner Stephen Franklin talks about wanting […]

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, […]
Mia’s Bar & Grill and Cafe Wing Max – Hiram, GA
On a Sunday evening, I was looking for dinner near the house and thought that I might try something new. I had seen several folks talking about places for wings in Hiram or Dallas, on “the Facebook”, and (I vaguely remember) several folks talked about Cafe Wing Max, in the Academy Sports shopping center. This […]
Slope’s BBQ – Cumming, GA
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a barbecue snob. I’ve known it for a while, but today really drove the point home. When I leave this much on a plate, it’s just not a good sign.. Slopes’s BBQ has been on a secondary list of Atlanta area barbecue joints since July of 2010. They […]
The Nest – Kennesaw, GA
Unless you can read small print, you’d be hard pressed to know that The Nest is a barbecue place. Unless, as you were driving down Cherokee Street, heading into downtown Kennesaw, you saw the two smokers below on the street. That may be why they are there, as opposed to in the parking lot out […]
