Narobia’s Grits and Gravy – Savannah, GA

I’ll start this by saying, if I owned this place, the name would be Narobia’s Gravy & Grits. The grits were good. But the gravy was absolutely banging. This was the third attempt to try Narobia’s – the first time we went, they were closed on that day and the second time, they were closing […]

Taylor’d Bar-B-Q – Avondale Estates, GA

In a recent article from Eater Atlanta, I found a barbecue place of which I had not heard – Taylor’d Bar-B-Q, in Avondale Estates. Housed in the building that was previously MoBetta Wings, this former competition barbecue team (headed by Josh McDowell) opened Taylor’d in July, 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. We asked […]

Birdcage – Atlanta, GA

An article from Eater Atlanta about new restaurants in the city, put Birdcage on the list. On Memorial Drive, just east of Boulevard, the decor screams Miami Beach, at the peak of its glory, in both color and tone. Combine that with an homage to the mid-nineties Nathan Lane / Robin Williams film of the […]

Sinaloense Pollo Asados

Months back, I heard about the family owned and operated El Autentico Sinaloense Pollo Asados, on Buford Highway, as a place we needed to try. We actually attempted to go there, I think on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and they weren’t open, so they stayed on “the list”. This Saturday, we were heading to town […]

Tum Pok Pok – Chamblee, GA

Meeting some colleagues for lunch and looking for someplace new, north of Buckhead, I suggested we meet at Tum Pok Pok, on Buford Highway.  From owner Adidsara Weerasin, the food focuses not on traditional Americanized versions of Thai food, but rather Thai street food and the cooking of the Isan (northeastern) region. The foods there […]

The Po’ Boy Shop – Decatur, GA

In a listing of best sandwiches in Atlanta, the Po’ Boy Shop appeared. It actually had appeared before me on three occasions, when I had tried, unsuccessfully, to get a Cuban sandwich next door at Buena Gente, but I had looked past it. On a Sunday afternoon, looking for something to carry home for dinner, […]

Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle – Duluth, GA

  Today’s lunch adventure is brought to you by the Eater Atlanta article “11 Essential Chinese restaurants in Atlanta”.  As I am always looking for choices and trying to find someplace new, I looked for those, on their list (which I had already incorporated into mine) around the office.  They had a 10 Second Rice […]

Humble Mumble – Atlanta, GA

On the day after Christmas, at a near-deserted CODA Collective food hall, we made our way to Humble Mumble. Chef Justin Dixon‘s restaurant, named after his favorite Outkast song, had been on my radar, since seeing it on an eater Atlanta list of the best sandwiches in Atlanta. But they’re only open from 11 AM […]

Bomb Biscuits

In case it wasn’t happening where you live, brunch was “the thing” in 2023 in the ATL. New places were popping up all over, most with long waits on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Erika Council’s Bomb Biscuits has been at the top of the breakfast heap since opening on North Highland Avenue in 2022. Known […]
