Brezza Cucina – Atlanta, GA
Another day, another trip to Ponce City Market. We were heading in town to meet someone passing through and looking for a place to grab lunch around 11:30. PCM seemed like a good choice, as there are at least five places I still want to try. My suggestion of fish was shot down, as it […]
Arepa Mia – Atlanta, GA
Today, we met the newliest-weds of our kids for a meal at Arepa Mia, in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market (thanks, Roger for the info to allow the correction of the name. Note: If you enjoy this blog, you ought to check out Roger’s, Friday Date Night). The kids had been to the Decatur location […]
Staplehouse – Atlanta, GA
To preface this post: I’ve followed this story for years and I recap part of that story below. It has made for a long post, so stick with me. But if you don’t want to read it all, I’ll cut to the chase – it’s really good. You should go. Sometimes you wait a while for […]
Hop’s Chicken – Atlanta, GA
Finally, Ponce City Market is (sort of / mostly) open. At least, some of the food places and stores are. Over last weekend our daughter sent us a text from H&F Burger, along with a survey of what was open. So when Friday night rolled around and we were headed to dinner with another […]
Twin Smokers BBQ – Atlanta, GA
Twin Smokers BBQ opened last December on Marietta Street, near the Georgia Aquarium, but we had not had the chance to try them out yet. Today, as we headed to the airport for an afternoon flight, we ended up downtown, looking for food. As we drove down Marietta Street towards West Midtown, I saw their […]
Gus’s Fried Chicken – Atlanta, GA
For the last fifteen years, I’ve been wanting to try Gus’s Fried Chicken, in Memphis. We had been to Memphis a couple of times over that span, but the chicken encounter never seemed to happen. This fascination all goes back to reading, somewhere, that they had the best fried chicken in America. A couple of […]
H Harper Station – Atlanta, GA
Housed in the old Atlanta and West Point railroad station, I have seen H Harper Station several times as we headed off the Glenwood Avenue exit toward Memorial over the last couple of years. And I remember having read about them in several different magazines over the last year, being particularly intrigued by their Kentucky […]
Ammazza – Atlanta, GA
Several weeks back, when we went to Varasano’s Pizzeria, we were talking with the waitress about the state of pizza in Atlanta. She told the story of one of her friends who is a server at Ammazza: It seem that they were both going to a party and each of them was to bring a […]
Illegal Food @ Joystick – Atlanta, GA
On Monday night , driving home from dropping something off in town, I noticed Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, for the first time. It’s on a stretch of road I don’t often drive, but the name stuck in my mind. Then on Tuesday, Business Insider wrote this article about the best burgers in each state. They […]
Perla Taqueria – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located in a former Mrs. Winner’s on Piedmont Avenue, just north of the intersection with Cheshire Bridge, I’ve seen the brightly colored Perla Taqueria many times. With an original plan to cross another place off “the list”, that plan was thwarted by arriving twenty-plus minutes before they opened. Regrouping, I considered […]
