Common Quarter – Marietta, GA
Seeing the latest spot from Muss & Turner and Local Three‘s owners, Common Quarter, appear on the Eater Atlanta “heat map”, reminded me that we needed to give it a try. I had read about their opening back in October and promptly forgot about it. Since we were a third of the way to east […]
BurgerFi – Kennesaw, GA
A couple of months back, I noticed BurgerFi when I was driving through downtown Kennesaw. I made a mental note to come back there, but almost immediately forgot about it. Then, last month, some of our friends mentioned that they had been there for lunch. They said that the burger was good so we thought […]
Tasty China – Marietta, GA
Back in the beginning of my food quest, I carried around some paper lists in a plastic folder in the trunk. Among those was a printout from Atlanta magazine from 2006 (or 2007) with a list of restaurants, by area of town. One of the places that I remember from that list was Tasty China, […]
Righteous ‘Que – Marietta, GA
About two weeks ago, Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, sent me an email suggesting that we find a barbecue place that neither one of us had written about and meet for lunch or dinner. I told Jo about it and she said, “That’s sweet. You have a “man-date””. Then she cautioned that “it would […]
Big Shanty BBQ – Kennesaw, GA
Big Shanty BBQ first hit my radar in the 2011 Atlanta magazine barbecue issue, when they used the magic words “banana pudding”. The article listed barbecue restaurants by county, along with their specialties. In the entry for Big Shanty, it highlighted their ribs and pulled pork – and said that their banana pudding was really […]
Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs – Marietta, GA
Many times over the last several years, I’ve driven by Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs, but I’ve never been by when the “Open” sign was in the windiw. They’re open 10:00 – 3:00, Monday – Friday, and my schedule never seemed to mesh with their hours. Nearly in downtown Marietta (they’re just down the street […]
West Cobb Diner – Marietta, GA
When we called some friends and asked if they wanted to meet for dinner on Friday, they said that they were meeting another couple at West Cobb Diner and asked us to join them. We pulled it up on Google maps and realized that it was right at the corner of 120 and Barrett Parkway […]
Seed Kitchen & Bar – Marietta, GA
Sunday after church we stood around talking for a while and, for a change, when we left (at 11:00, instead of 10:15) we could actually discuss “what’s for lunch” without Jo giving me that crazy look. I remembered having read about Seed Kitchen & Bar in the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine in March […]
The Red Eyed Mule – Marietta, GA
While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine. A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule. I knew we were […]
