Sweet Auburn Curb Market – Atlanta, GA

After first hearing about Bell Street Burritos in Atlanta Magazine (back in the March, 2012 “Cheap Eats” edition), I’ve been meaning to get by there.  They had opened a location on Howell Mill, which I believed would surely be easier to get to than the Sweet Auburn Curb Market.  But it closed without me ever […]

Wyatt’s Country Bar-B-Que – Atlanta, GA

Weekend before last, when we were at Ann’s Snack Bar, as we were leaving I saw Wyatt’s Country Bar-B-Que across the street (and up the block).  I had never noticed it before and determined to give it a try in the near future.  Tonight, when I was stuck in ridiculous, rain-induced and construction-complicated traffic, I […]

Ann’s Snack Bar (re-visited) – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. It’s been almost three years since our series of visits to Ann’s Snack Bar.  We went.  Then we took our girls.  Then we took my parents (that was a hoot).  As we prepared for a weekend-long birthday celebration, Jo asked what I wanted to do this weekend – a long-delayed revisit […]

White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails – Atlanta, GA

(A quick review): Looking for a place to meet a couple of folks for lunch in-town, I pulled up their work address on the map, zoomed in and checked out the restaurants in close proximity.  White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails showed up.  The name had been on my radar for a couple of months, so […]

Nick’s Food To Go – Atlanta, GA

I’d heard about Nick’s Food to Go for several years, likely starting with a rerun episode of “Georgia Eats” on PBS one night. I’d even driven by it a couple of times this week (at the corner of Hill and MLK) in the morning on the way to work, trying to find my way around […]

Eats – Atlanta, GA

Heading downtown for what, ultimately, turned out to be a non-existent event, I was torn, once again, with the question, “What do I want to eat?”  My first instinct was for a box of hot Krispy Kreme glazed donuts, but reason prevailed and I determined I needed “real” food.  So there I was, on Ponce […]

Six Feet Under – Atlanta, GA

Looking back, I can’t believe that I haven’t written about Six Feet Under.  We used to eat there quite regularly, at the original location across from Oak Lawn Cemetery (hence the name), in Grant Park.   A couple of years back they moved down the street (Tin Lizzy is in their old location) into new digs […]

Holy Taco – Atlanta, GA

Holy Taco has been on the list of places that I wanted to try for several months, but we never seemed to be in that neighborhood (East Atlanta Village) AND to be in the mood for tacos at the same time. We arrived around 2:00 on a Sunday and, aside from the party of eight […]

The Sound Table – Atlanta, GA

For the last several months, I kept hearing about the Sound Table, off Edgewood. One thing that I really hate is waiting forever for a table, so we generally pick a place where we can make a reservation, generally via Open Table. The Sound Table has never shown up for me on Open Table, therefore […]

House of Ribs – Atlanta, GA

If the quality of a restaurant was directly converse to it’s level of “shadiness”, House of Ribs (known both as Ms. Betty’s House of Ribs or Bouldercrest House of Ribs, based on where you find the reference point) would be, hands down, the best restaurant in the city. In a trailer that has seen better […]
