Teela Taqueria – Sandy Springs, GA
As part of an ongoing attempt to bring the Atlanta food blogging community together, the one who always says “Marie, Let’s Eat” invited several of us to meet them for dinner at Teela Taqueria. Arriving at 6:30 on a Sunday evening, we were joined by one half of Friday Date Night, Atlanta Restaurant Blog, Atlanta, […]
St. Cecilia – Atlanta, GA
As I follow @cheffordfry on “the Twitter”, when I saw the tweet at the end of December that that they were looking for folks to test the kitchen at St. Cecilia, I jumped on the opportunity. He specifically said, “no critic, por favor”, and I mentioned that I was an amateur blogger in my e-mail. […]
Burnt Fork BBQ – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had eaten at Burnt Fork BBQ previously, a couple of years ago with some friends, but never got around to posting a review. Tonight, when heading towards Decatur (originally with another destination in mind, but being delayed by traffic) I realized where I was and ran in to grab some […]
Sobban Korean Southern Diner – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. In the course of a week, we’ve gone full circle, from New Years Day lunch in an Arby’s to first Saturday lunch in a former Arby’s. When we were driving toward the perimeter from New Years’ Eve dinner, we passed by the iconic hat-shaped building on Clairmont and I was reminded […]
Red Crawfish – Lawrenceville, GA
Recently, when I went to Sugarloaf Mills, I saw that a new place had opened in the space formerly occupied by a defunct Mexican restaurant, Red Crawfish. I tried it back in early December, for the first time, and have returned several times since with some co-workers. Interestingly, it is the second Vietnamese-owned Cajun restaurant […]
Cosmopolitan Restaurant – Marietta, GA
When I was searching OpenTable for restaurant reservations, and a place on Delk Road popped up, I was intrigued. I couldn’t think of a single restaurant that was there, except for where Spaghetti Warehouse used to be. When we followed the GPS into the parking lot shortly after noon, I realized that’s exactly where we […]
Pallookaville Fine Foods – Avondale Estates, GA
I’ll have to confess that when I told my wife we were going to a place for dinner that specialized in corndogs, I had a bit of a hard sell. And when I called another couple and said, “hey, y’all want to join us for dinner? We’re going to get some corndogs”, the question was […]
The Beautiful – Atlanta, Ga
One day last week, I was asking someone where they thought had the best fried chicken in the city, after reading the article in the current Atlanta Magazine. She explained that she wasn’t familiar with many of the places that made the list, but that her husband’s favorite place was the Beautiful Restaurant. Then I […]
Tin Drum – Atlanta, GA
I first recall hearing about Tin Drum Asiacafe when we saw the location just off the campus at Tech Square. Similar to, and opened at a similar time as, Mama Fu’s and Doc Chey’s Noodle House, Tin Drum has stood the test of time. They’ve expanded into an aggressively franchising Atlanta-based brand, with 13 locations […]
Paizano’s – Norcross, GA
Looking for a spot for a work lunch between Duluth and Marietta always seems to be a challenge – there just isn’t much “in the middle”. As I was given the choice of location, I chose some place that I had not been, and we went to Paizano’s in downtown Norcross. The city of Norcross […]
