Stockyard Burgers and Bones – Marietta, GA
As often happens, our dinner at Stockyard Burgers and Bones wasn’t part of the original plan. It was Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve), and we had dinner reservations elsewhere but, as the menu there changes weekly, when we arrived, nothing jumped out at us. Or even appealed to us. We understand that, with […]
Nueva San Salvador Bakery – Hiram, GA
Even with it having been open for over a year (they opened in November 2016), I had no idea that we had a Salvadoran restaurant in Hiram. But, on Saturday, when I ran to Office Max to pick something up, there was Nueva San Salvador Bakery, in the same strip mall. I got so excited, […]
B’s Cracklin’Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I heard that someone was smoking whole hog barbecue in northwest Atlanta. I made a mental note and figured that I would hear more about it and get there soon enough. Two months passed by when I saw an online article from Atlanta magazine about pitmaster Bryan Furman, at B’s Cracklin’ Barbecue, […]
Takorea – Atlanta, GA
Let me preface this post by saying that we love, love, love Hankook Taqueria and that we make our way there, often, when we’re looking for a quick bite on the West Side. Heading to a matinee at the Fox on this Sunday, we decided to give chef Tomas Lee’s other restaurant, Takorea, a try. […]
Tom + Chee – Kennesaw, GA
Over the last ten months, I’ve eaten at two different Tom+Chee restaurants, on three different occasions. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve LOVED grilled cheese and tomato soup together and thought the idea of a restaurant focused on that pairing was brilliant. These guys got their big start on Shark Tank and have now […]
Dreamland Barbecue – Duluth, GA
The newest location of Tuscaloosa’s Dreamland Bar-B-Que opened in the renovation of downtown Duluth’s Parson’s Alley, last summer. The northeast side of town has been without a Dreamland since the Peachtree Corners location burned down several years ago. At one time, there were three Atlanta locations – with the opening of this one, there are […]
Hattie Marie’s – College Park, GA
After roaming around with my beloved on a Friday morning, we stopped by her sister’s house, as we were getting ready for lunch. She mentioned that a new barbecue place had opened in downtown College Park last week. We happened to be in the area around lunch time today. Coincidence? I think not. Off we […]
Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods – Athens, GA
Standing in the doorway, looking both at the sign on the sidewalk that said open 11-6 on Saturday and the closed sign in the window, I’m sure I looked like a dog that had just heard a high pitched noise. Since “the game was out of town and he had to cook for a funeral”, […]
L’ Thai Organic Cuisine & Wine Bar – Tucker, GA
Another place from the original list, L’Thai was a newcomer to the Atlanta scene, back in 2006. Cut to 2017 and they’re now one of the longest tenured Asian restaurants in Atlanta. And the first organic Thai restaurant, according to one source, in the South. This may be the weirdest interior I’ve seen in a […]
Poke’ Bar – Suwanee, GA
Several weeks ago, I saw an emailed article about the rise of poke’ (or Hawaiian poke’) in Atlanta and have been wanting to give it a try. Last night, heading down Buford Highway I searched for a poke’ place, via Google maps, and found none. Undaunted, I determined to try it today, for lunch. Looking […]
