The Steak House – Rockmart, GA

July 14, 2012 · by · in Everything Else, Georgia, Northwest GA · 3 Comments

This Saturday evening, we were meeting the Coolest Journey Group Ever at the Steak House in Rockmark.   Jo and I had been there a couple of times over the last three years, after hearing some folks talk about it.  In fact, it is like a standing Abbott & Costello routine.  “What’s the name of the […]

Moonie’s Texas Barbecue – Flowery Branch, GA

July 12, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Buford / Flowery Branch / Suwanee, Georgia · 3 Comments

Summertime at the office is kind of slow, and as my usual lunch crowd was all gone, today was a day for adventure.   “Crowd” is likely a strong word, as there are never more than three of us.  And three’s not a crowd, unless you’re on a date, or in a sports car or __________ […]

Local Three Kitchen & Bar (An Update) – Atlanta, GA

July 8, 2012 · by · in Buckhead, Everything Else, Georgia · Leave a comment

If I had a way to make a blog post sing, this one would sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” with the fervor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  The brunch buffet is back at Local Three Kitchen & Bar!  A couple of months back, I spoke of Local Three, praising the food and lamenting the loss of […]

Golden Rule Bar-B-Q and Grill – Irondale, AL

July 7, 2012 · by · in Alabama, Barbecue, Burgers · 2 Comments

Back in the late 1990s, I ended up traveling to Birmingham often.  And by often, I mean a lot.   Over the course of about three years, I probably drove back and forth between Birmingham and Atlanta at least twenty times.  Every one of those times, I drove by this sign for Golden Rule Bar-B-Q […]

Old Brick Pit Barbecue – Chamblee, GA

July 6, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Chamblee, Georgia · 7 Comments

While Jo and I were preparing for the Peachtree Road Race on the afternoon of the 3rd, she mentioned that she’d seen this thing in Southern Living naming the best barbecue in the South and there were two Atlanta places.   She couldn’t remember one of the names and the other had “Pit” in it.  I, […]

Seasons 52 – Dunwoody, GA

July 4, 2012 · by · in Dunwoody, Everything Else, Georgia · Leave a comment

After walking the Peachtree Road Race, we were ready for some food.  And so was our oldest.  So we put our heads together for a place close to where we both were – Cumberland and Lenox.  Perimeter was the NATURAL choice!  Well, maybe not, but when I mentioned Seasons 52 as an option, Jo affirmed […]

St Mary’s Seafood and More – St. Mary’s, GA

July 2, 2012 · by · in Georgia, Seafood, South GA · Leave a comment

Heading back to the JAX airport, on the same trip that took me to Gold House Restaurant in Nahunta, we needed to grab some dinner and, being that close to the beach, seafood was requested.  My navigator was searching for restaurants on his cell and up popped St. Mary’s Seafood and More in St. Mary’s, […]

Gold House Restaurant – Nahunta, GA

July 2, 2012 · by · in Fried Chicken, Georgia, South GA · 2 Comments

In the midst of a South Georgia swing on business, we were heading from Jacksonville to Jesup and lunch-time was right around the corner.  We missed our first chance for food in Folkston (it was only 11:00) and as we rolled into Nahunta, GA (population slightly less than 1,000), we knew we needed to find […]

Rib Country – Blairsville, GA

July 1, 2012 · by · in Barbecue, Georgia, Northwest GA · 3 Comments

In May, while we were preparing for our June hike at the Grand Canyon, we went to hike Blood Mountain, on the Appalachian Trail, as part of our training.  The purpose for the hike was two-fold: it would give us a chance to hike where there were more altitude changes than we were getting on […]

Home Grown – Atlanta, GA

June 29, 2012 · by · in Breakfast, Cabbagetown / Grant Park / Inman Park, Georgia · 2 Comments

One morning, I awoke up bright and early (at 4:00) and couldn’t go back to sleep.   I tried for 45 minutes or so, gave up, got up, got dressed and went to the gym.  Worked out for an hour, cleaned up for work and it was still only 6:15.   This meant that I would HAVE […]
