Diner – Atlanta, GA
As we really enjoy Rosebud, I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Ron Eyester’s Diner since I first heard word of it last summer. With a limited opening on March 5 (serving a limited version of the menu), we decided to stop in the afternoon for an early dinner and see what we thought. […]
Trace – Atlanta, GA
This Sunday’s morning episode of “what do you want to eat?” is brought to you by “where can we make a reservation that isn’t a barbecue restaurant?” I was looking for someplace that was billed as farm-to-table and the reviews of Trace seemed to fit that bill. As I was pulling up the address, I […]
Atmosphere French Restaurant – Atlanta, GA
Located in Ansley Park, I’ve driven by the cottage that is home to Atmosphere French Restaurant dozens of times, but I’ve never stopped in for dinner. It’s been on “The List” since 2006, but rarely do I get a hankering for French food, so it hasn’t risen near the top. In a recent conversation with […]
Ecco – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
Looking for Friday night dinner plans, at the last minute, our prime criteria was not having to wait. Open Table found us a 7:15 spot at Ecco and (to quote John Lee Hooker ) “out the door I went.” I had eaten at Ecco some years back, meeting a friend before a basketball game, but […]
Lure – Atlanta, GA
On this Saturday we were looking for some place new for lunch and made our choice based on a combination of availability of reservations and OpenTable ratings. Lure was in the first 10, rating-wise, and had a spot available, so it was decided. We arrived around 1:30 to find the valet missing. We waited a […]
Baraonda Ristorante & Bar – Atlanta, GA
As the Holiday weekend approached, Grant e-mailed and asked if we were going to be in town for the weekend and might want to meet he and Marie and have dinner. We compared notes of places that neither had been, and decided on Baraonda Ristorante & Bar. The name was on my list, but I […]
LPC (La Pietra Cucina) – Atlanta, GA
LPC (La Pietra Cucina) is a place that I’ve had on a list for several years, but never visited. Today, as I was heading back toward the office from a meeting downtown, I realized that I had time to stop in for a bite. It was a late lunch, on a Monday, and I had […]
Jimmy John’s – Atlanta, GA
A year or so back, one of my friends asked me if I had ever eaten at Jimmy Johns. At the time, I had seen one or two, but never been to one. Then I started noticing them everywhere. Looking for a quick bite, I swung into the location near Ansley Mall. Walking in, I […]
Villains Wicked Heroes – Atlanta, GA
Leaving downtown and looking for someplace to eat, I consulted “the list” and remembered that I was very close to Villains Wicked Heroes. The less than year-old entry to the Atlanta food scene from the folks behind Grindhouse Killer Burgers (along with others formally at Flip and HD1), Villains is a take on the neighborhood […]
