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 […]
Tio Lucho’s – Atlanta, GA
Last year, Tio Lucho’s popped onto my radar, in an article about 75 restaurants that you needed to try in Atlanta. A couple of month’s back, when we went to Fishmonger, I saw it across the street and thought about trying to go for a “double lunch”, but the timing did not work on that […]
Slim & Husky’s
Several months ago, there was an article about the best pizzas in the ATL and Nashville-based Slim + Husky’s appeared on it, and to me. Like everything else that catches my stomach’s eye, I put it on “the list” and waited for the right time. So, on a drive home on Friday evening, I ordered […]
Noni’s – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
Wood’s Chapel BBQ – Atlanta, GA
Open for about two weeks when we visited, Wood’s Chapel BBQ, is in a new development on Georgia Avenue, just a couple of blocks from the former Turner Field. From the team behind the General Muir, Fred’s Meat and Bread and Yalla (they also have partners from West Egg), they are another outpost for whole […]
Ton Ton Ramen and Yakatori – Atlanta, GA
It’s rare that I eat at a place twice before I blog about it. But I also rarely eat at a new place twice in a five day span. As one of the newest spots to open in Ponce City Market, I’ve been waiting for Ton Ton Ramen and Yakatori to open ever since I […]
Jia – Atlanta, GA
From Dahe Yang and chef Jiguo Jiang of Tasty China Jia opened in Ponce City Market last September. Along with Gu’s Dumplings (which has a much smaller menu – Jia’s refers to its own as a one hundred item menu), these may be the first Szechuan restaurants downtown. In one of the articles […]
The Mercury – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had seen a note on Eater Atlanta earlier this week noting that the Mercury had opened for lunch service in the last couple of weeks. From the team behind Decatur’s Pinewood Tippling Room, the Mercury (with a decor resembling the early 60s) is on the second floor of Ponce City […]
Minero – Atlanta, GA
I didn’t realize until earlier this week that Minero was Sean Brock’s restaurant. I’m a huge fan of his cooking and thought that a meal at this outpost of his Charleston Mexican restaurant would be a great lunch to start the new year. We met our daughter and son-in-law at Ponce City Market […]
Linton’s Cafe in the Park – Atlanta, GA
I rarely post anything about a “bad” meal – if I don’t say anything after eating at a place, it’s because I enjoyed nothing about the meal. Bad service, on the other hand, needs to be talked about. Tonight we tried to have dinner at Linton’s in the Park, but the front of […]
