Vinny’s New York Pizza & Grill – Duluth, GA
We’ve been visiting Vinny’s New York Pizza for at least the last eight years as a lunch time spot, yet I’ve somehow failed to mention them. Today when I went to get a quick bowl of pho, I found that Miss Saigon had ended it’s run. (This is not an obscure Broadway reference, but rather […]
Family Restaurant – Duluth, GA
One day, deciding that I wanted to eat something different for lunch, I ended up back at Family Restaurant. (I’d add a link to their website here, but they don’t seem to have one. They do have a Facebook page, here, which has had very little activity.) Located just next door to the grill at […]
Atlanta Fish Market – Atlanta, GA
We hadn’t been to the Atlanta Fish Market in several years. Armed with a gift card for the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, we were looking for a dining option in Buckhead for lunch and AFM was the consensus decision. That giant fish is quite a sight as you turn onto Pharr Road, off Peachtree. We […]
Chick-a-Biddy – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I read in one of the Yelp blogs about a new chicken “shack” opening in Atlantic Station from the Bantam & Biddy team, Chick-a-Biddy. They opened a little over two weeks ago, and I’d been intending to get there at some point in the near future. As I was heading downtown to […]
Cardamom Hill – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Cardamom Hill is one of the other places that kept appearing, over and over, on the Best of Atlanta lists. After such a great experience at Bhojanic (we’ve been back since our first visit with another couple), we figured we might actually like Indian food and we were on a roll… […]
Umaido – Suwanee, GA
In last year’s Spring Dining Guide in the AJC, Umaido was listed. That was the first and only mention I had seen of it in the last couple of years, but they were still on one of my “lists”. Looking for adventure on a Friday we ended up heading in that direction. Just getting to […]
Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q – Flowery Branch, GA
I’d like to start this entry with a tip of the hat to Marie, Let’s Eat for pointing me toward Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q. When I got the email signalling the blog entry about their visit, I was excited to find a new place (relatively) near my office that was getting good reviews. I have a […]
Sugar’s Ribs – Chattanooga, TN
As you drive south on I-24 from Nashville, there are repeated signs touting the glories of Sugar’s Ribs (“Best Barbecue – 2011”, etc). Then as you head through Chattanoga, just as you’re about to go into the giant curve toward Atlanta, you’re suddenly confronted by this giant woman holding a tray of ribs, with a […]
Bar-B-Cutie – Murfreesboro, TN
When you drive by a place and see the cowgirl on this sign, how can you not stop? That was the dilemma I was faced with. I had seen another location on Friday afternoon and had then driven by this one on the way to Fat Mo’s. (Whenever I see a tag line like that […]
Fat Mo’s – Murfreesboro, TN
My original plan for Saturday morning included having breakfast in downtown Nashville. The first restaurant that I tried had a line out the door and down the street, so I went to the second. They told me that there was an estimated forty-five minute wait. For breakfast? For one? I ultimately ended up skipping breakfast […]
