The Vortex Bar & Grill – Atlanta, GA
The Vortex Bar and Grill is a giant on the Atlanta burger landscape. When the Georgia General Assembly passed a law several years back requiring the removal of the smoking section from any restaurant that served children, 99%+ of the restaurants banned smoking all of the time. The Vortex was an anomaly. They said, basically, […]
Spiced Right Ribhouse Barbecue – Suwanee, GA
Eons ago, when my office was in Stone Mountain, I used to eat at the Spiced Right location in Lawrenceville. It was part of a regular rotation with Matthews Cafeteria (along with several other places that no longer exist). As the office moved north, first to Norcross, then to Duluth, Spiced Right grew further from […]
Smash Burger – Sandy Springs, GA
As I had to be on the opposite side of the city for a meeting this afternoon, I had the opportunity to meet an old friend for lunch. Knowing of my penchant for burgers and looking for a place where our paths might intersect, he suggested that we try SmashBurger on Roswell Road. I had […]

We have eaten at the Peachtree Street Little Azio a couple of times and I recalled it being fairly good Italian food served […]
Seed Kitchen & Bar – Marietta, GA
Sunday after church we stood around talking for a while and, for a change, when we left (at 11:00, instead of 10:15) we could actually discuss “what’s for lunch” without Jo giving me that crazy look. I remembered having read about Seed Kitchen & Bar in the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine in March […]
Vingenzo’s – Woodstock, GA
For the last couple of years, I have seen several raves about Vingenzo’s, in Woodstock. The gist of all of them was that it was definitely worth the trip OTP (outside the perimeter). When Friday night rolled around and we had no plans, I made a reso via Open Table and we made the thirty […]
The Optimist – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, a lot of the buzz around Atlanta has been about the opening of the Optimist. One of my friends and I were talking on the phone and he was telling me that had gone for dinner with his family on the previous Saturday night and had to wait for […]
