The Counter – Roswell, GA
Before we headed over to Good Friday Atlanta, this seemed like a good chance to sample the Counter. I had heard the Counter mentioned several times in the last year, but we rarely get to Roswell to eat. Tonight, as our destination was about five minutes away was the perfect opportunity. I didn’t realize until […]
Busy Bee Cafe – Atlanta, GA
For the last several years, I’ve seen the Busy Bee Cafe on every list that was made about places to eat in Atlanta. Since they close at 7:00 pm, they aren’t an option for dinner out for me most nights, but on a random Thursday I was driving through town at 6:00 pm and looking […]
The Shed at Glenwood – Atlanta, GA
We went into the Shed at Glenwood, early on a Sunday evening a while back for an early dinner. This is one of those places that I’ve been meaning to go for a while and the chance never seemed to arise. This night, we were driving back from Decatur on I-20 and realized just how […]
Kyma – Atlanta, GA
To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma. We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table. The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]
The Red Eyed Mule – Marietta, GA
While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine. A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule. I knew we were […]
Pollos Asados Rio Grande – Odessa, TX
As I was waiting outside Watts Burgers, I noticed the constant flow of traffic at Pollos Asados Rio Grande. Roughly twenty cars in twenty minutes. And since a) my burger was nothing to write home about (or to both of y’all about), b) I had two hours plus before my flight back through Dallas and […]
Watts Burgers – Odessa, TX
As I was leaving Odessa one Monday, I passed by the Permian Basin Hamburger Company (on Main Street since 1978) and whipped the car around to try it out. Sadly, they closed at 3:00 and it was close to 4:00. Dejected, I headed back toward I-20 and the Midland International Airport. It was then that […]
Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks – Atlanta, GA
So for about the last four or five years, I’ve driven by this giant sign for Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks on Monroe Drive and told myself, “Self, you’ve got to get one of those cheesesteaks.” But every time that I drove by there (mostly on Thursdays, mostly between 7:00 and 8:00 pm), it was closed. […]
