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 […]

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 […]

Dinglewood Pharmacy – Columbus, GA

One Flew South – Atlanta, GA

For the last couple of years, I’ve read about how good the food is at One Flew South.  And not just in the local press – the first write-up I remember was in Conde Nast Traveler.  It was even named as a semi-finalist for a James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Service award.  But I never had […]

Gu’s Dumplings – Atlanta, GA

Quite a while back (two years, apparently, as I looked for the link), we had a great dinner at Gu’s Bistro and I recommended it to several folks.   Then I heard they closed.  Then, several months later, I read that they were opening a dumpling stall in Krog Street Market.   As I said, […]

Jia – Atlanta, GA

From Dahe Yang and chef Jiguo Jiang of Tasty China Jia opened in Ponce City Market last September.   Along with Gu’s Dumplings (which has a much smaller menu – Jia’s refers to its own as a one hundred item menu), these may be the first Szechuan restaurants downtown.   In one of the articles […]

The One Izakaya – Duluth, GA (Photo Blog Post)

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 […]
