timone’s local pizza joint – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Following Ron Eyster (who also owns Rosebud and the Family Dog), on Twitter *, I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of his new pizza restaurant, timone’s local pizaa joint, for months. This evening as I was heading in town and driving through Morningside, I thought it would be a great […]
Uptown Grille – Suwanee, GA
When I walked into the Uptown Grille at 12 o’clock on a Thursday and there was no one else there, it wasn’t the best sign. I actually questioned if they were open, but there were a couple of people sitting at a table outside drinking beers. The bartender asked if she could help me (which […]
Marco’s Pizza – Duluth, GA
A quick review: I’ve seen several Marco’s Pizzas opening around town recently and wondered about them. Today, I found out that they’re a chain that’s from Ohio that is aggressively franchising. With over 340 stores in 29 states (plus two the Bahamas and Panama) they’ve grown immensely, since the first location opened in Toledo in […]
Jerry’s Gourmet Burgers – Villa Rica, GA
I don’t know where I heard about Jerry’s Gourmet Burgers, but, wherever it was, they didn’t lie. It is in a trailer, in the parking lot of a Texaco station, close to (and across the street from) Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica and they serve no drinks. Yep, not a drink on the menu. The […]
Briar Patch Bar-B-Que – Dallas, GA
Briar Patch is, by proximity, our neighborhood barbecue place, although I haven’t eaten there in six or eight years. I went in this afternoon, well after the lunch rush, to pick up some carry out. The menus are TV screens on the wall and differ slightly between carry out and dine in (one had a […]
Burger 21 – Buford, GA
Burger 21 had been mentioned to me by several different folks – one day I even found a newspaper article about it in my inbox when I got to the office – over the last couple of weeks, but no one had been there yet. Today I went to see what they were talking about. […]
Rico’s World Kitchen – Buford, GA
A couple of weeks back we were having dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend and talking about food. What else would we discuss while we were eating? He mentioned this place in downtown Buford, Rico’s World Kitchen, and asked me if I had ever been. I had not. Intrigued at the idea of a […]
G.A.B.B.A. – Norcross, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. (I realized as I was writing this that I was really overusing parentheticals. Then I tried to stop using parantheses (but I couldn’t). Pardon me in advance.) I had seen the sign for the Great American Burger Boutique and Ale (G.A.B.B.A) several times, driving north on Peachtree Industrial. I just wasn’t […]
I stand corrected about Whataburger
In a earlier post about Five Guys, I commented that there were three great chains in this country, all that used fresh ground beef – Five Guys, Steak N Shake and In-N-Out, further commenting: “My friends would contend that Whataburger belongs there, but I disagree as I don’t believe they make their burgers out of […]
Righteous ‘Que – Marietta, GA
About two weeks ago, Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, sent me an email suggesting that we find a barbecue place that neither one of us had written about and meet for lunch or dinner. I told Jo about it and she said, “That’s sweet. You have a “man-date””. Then she cautioned that “it would […]
