Greater Good Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
It was during our visit to the Greater Good in Tucker a couple of weeks back, that we determined exactly where we would have our 4th of July ribs. You see, ever since the 4th of July rib incident of 2012 (the entire experience is detailed in the footnote to this post), we’ve made plans […]
Tomo Japanese Restaurant – Atlanta, GA
Tomo Japanese Restaurant has, apparently, been on my radar since August 2006 (when I first saw it mentioned in Atlanta Magazine’s 101 Favorite Restaurants edition, as “new and noteworthy” – the original paper “list” I carried in the trunk). When Atlanta Magazine’s restaurant critic Bill Addison announced he was stopping his regular gig there to […]
Varasano’s Pizzeria – Atlanta, GA
When we were looking for a place to have lunch on Good Friday, Jo told me to find a place that I was interested in trying. Varasano’s Pizzeria has been on my list since April of 2010, when they were listed in the pizza section of the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine, but we […]
Horseradish Grill – Atlanta, GA
For Saturday night , we had a change of times for dinner, necessitating a change of locations. Horseradish Grill won the coin toss. I’ve known of Horseradish Grill for years but, for whatever reasons, we’ve never been. Arriving about 6:30, we were surprised at how empty it was. And even moreso that we were seated […]
St. Cecilia – Atlanta, GA
As I follow @cheffordfry on “the Twitter”, when I saw the tweet at the end of December that that they were looking for folks to test the kitchen at St. Cecilia, I jumped on the opportunity. He specifically said, “no critic, por favor”, and I mentioned that I was an amateur blogger in my e-mail. […]
Corner Cafe – Atlanta, GA
The venue for today’s lunch was determined when I remembered I had a remaining balance on a Buckhead Life gift card and we were heading toward Lenox. That narrowed the choice to either Corner Cafe / Buckhead Bread Company or the Buckhead Diner. As I didn’t recall ever having eaten at the former, the dye […]
1kept – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, every time I went on open table to make a reservation, the first place that showed up had been 1kept. (And people wonder, “what’s in a name”?) I finally gave in to the product placement and when one of our dining-out couples asked about going out on Saturday night, […]
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 […]
Bhojanic – Atlanta, GA
I first heard about Bhojanic from Atlanta magazine in the fall of 2011, when they appeared (out of nowhere, at least to me) on the list of the 50 best restaurants in Atlanta. Since then, I’ve been looking for the right time to go and this afternoon, when we were heading downtown relatively early, I […]
king + duke – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For the last several month, all of the buzz on the restaurant blogs has been about the opening of Ford Fry’s newest venture, king + duke. When our daughter mentioned it (after reading about it on line) as a potential destination for her birthday dinner, I did not hesitate to make […]
