Greater Good Barbecue – Tucker, GA
The first words when we got back into the car after lunch? “Unlike most barbecue places you take me to, this actually was delicious.” That’s high praise, being sung shortly after high noon. After a morning spent walking up and down Stone Mountain, we were ready for lunch and my eyes had been set […]
Mr Ed’s Oyster Bar – Metairie, LA
Arriving in Metairie for a meeting, I was surprised when they asked me what I wanted to do for lunch. Because, as always, when there was food involved, I did have a plan. Before I left, I looked on my list, for places near where we were going to be, and found Bozo’s in the […]
LPC (La Pietra Cucina) – Atlanta, GA
LPC (La Pietra Cucina) is a place that I’ve had on a list for several years, but never visited. Today, as I was heading back toward the office from a meeting downtown, I realized that I had time to stop in for a bite. It was a late lunch, on a Monday, and I had […]
Cibo e Beve – Sandy Springs, GA
Jo had mentioned Cebo e Beve (which, according to our waiter is Italian slang for “grub and beverage”) as she had seen them on 11Alive as a server of Springer Farms chicken, when we had been eating at Ammazza the weekend before. As we were looking for some place new for lunch that we could […]
Quinones at Bacchalia – Atlanta, GA
Warning – this is a really long blog post, it may became the first chapter of my attempt at the Great American Novel… Two months ago, on a visit to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams with some friends, I took the opportunity to walk down the stairs at Westside Provision District to see about making a […]
Sun In My Belly – Decatur, GA
Looking for a dinner choice for Friday night, it really boiled down to the confluence of the answers to two questions: 1) What sounds good?; and 2) Where can we get a reservation? When I saw Sun In My Belly appear as a choice on OpenTable, I clicked on the first time slot that we […]
Twin Oaks Drive-In – Brunswick, GA
The last time that I was in Brunswick, I mentioned looking for barbecue for dinner to the person that I was meeting with that afternoon. He said that the best barbecue in town was at Twin Oaks, but when I Googled them, they are only open from 6:00 – 3:00, Monday – Saturday. Needless to […]
Ammazza – Atlanta, GA
Several weeks back, when we went to Varasano’s Pizzeria, we were talking with the waitress about the state of pizza in Atlanta. She told the story of one of her friends who is a server at Ammazza: It seem that they were both going to a party and each of them was to bring a […]
Gordo’s New York Style Pizza – Duluth, GA
In today’s episode of dining alone, I kept driving until I saw some place “new” (to me). There was a sign for a hot wing place that drew me into the shopping center attached to the Texaco, at the corner of Rogers Bridge and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, but found thta they didn’t open until 3:00. […]
Illegal Food @ Joystick – Atlanta, GA
On Monday night , driving home from dropping something off in town, I noticed Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, for the first time. It’s on a stretch of road I don’t often drive, but the name stuck in my mind. Then on Tuesday, Business Insider wrote this article about the best burgers in each state. They […]
