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 […]
Northern China Eatery – Doraville, GA
Late last year, Atlanta Magazine published a list of the 75 “Best Restaurants” and gave me 30+ places we hadn’t been, to try. We were heading back across town and I gave my beloved two cuisines to choose from (Asian or Latin). Yes, this was a broad choice, particularly as we were pulling off 285 […]
Warung Indonesian Halal Restaurant – Doraville, GA
This week I found a new restaurant, of all places, in my inbox. This week’s Gravy for Breakfast email, from Southern Foodways Alliance, was all about Warung Indonesian Halal Restaurant. I won’t reiterate the whole article, but this restaurant was born of the pandemic and has included Halal in their name and seen it make […]

Lan Zhou Ramen – Chamblee, GA
Back in October, I was heading down Buford Highway, looking for dinner, when I put “ramen” in Google maps. It led me to Lan Zhou Ramen. Lan Zhou shares a parking lot with both Chef Liu and Supermercado Chicago (home of fantastic tamales at the counter in the back – and the best fresh masa […]
Sushi House Hayakawa – Atlanta, GA
Another place that has been on the list for a decade is Sushi House Hayakawa. When it first appeared on my radar, I was not nearly as adventurous an eater as I’ve evolved into. As a result, whenever I was looking for a place to go, it kept moving toward the bottom of the list. […]
Co’m Vietnamese Grill
I’ve been meaning to eat at Co’m Vietnamese Grill for quite a while. We had even been in one night for dinner while my beloved was doing the whole thirty and couldn’t find any dishes that weren’t rice or noodle based, so we went elsewhere. When a cohort wanted to meet for lunch near the […]
Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House
Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House is another place that had been on my radar for a decade, but one that I never seemed to make it to. Not being the biggest fan of Korean food, these restaurants tend to get pushed aside for something else, when I am in the area. It is in […]
Xin’s Chinese Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Another day roaming alone for lunch, another new place. Today, I was actually heading to Masterpiece, as I hadn’t been in almost two weeks, when I noticed another Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall. Walking down to Xin’s Chinese Cuisine, they had carry out menus by the outside door, so I grabbed one and […]
