Tin Drum – Atlanta, GA
I first recall hearing about Tin Drum Asiacafe when we saw the location just off the campus at Tech Square. Similar to, and opened at a similar time as, Mama Fu’s and Doc Chey’s Noodle House, Tin Drum has stood the test of time. They’ve expanded into an aggressively franchising Atlanta-based brand, with 13 locations […]
Chick-a-Biddy – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I read in one of the Yelp blogs about a new chicken “shack” opening in Atlantic Station from the Bantam & Biddy team, Chick-a-Biddy. They opened a little over two weeks ago, and I’d been intending to get there at some point in the near future. As I was heading downtown to […]
Cardamom Hill – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Cardamom Hill is one of the other places that kept appearing, over and over, on the Best of Atlanta lists. After such a great experience at Bhojanic (we’ve been back since our first visit with another couple), we figured we might actually like Indian food and we were on a roll… […]
Fat Matt’s Rib Shack – Atlanta, GA
I first discovered Fat Matt’s Rib Shack seven or eight years ago when someone suggested that I go there and hear this blues band. Now I end up there about once every five or six weeks. Somehow, I’ve failed to blog about it. This entry actually comprises two visits (so that I can cover more […]
Ten Atlanta – Atlanta, GA
Capping off a weekend of dining in re-purposed restaurants (after a disappointing lunch at S’more BBQ), we ended up at Ten Atlanta for brunch on Sunday, in the former Five Napkin Burger space. Here’s the question that I’m sure is on your mind, if you’ve looked at the link to the restaurant: How did we […]
Front Page News – Atlanta, GA
I hadn’t been to Front Page News in years, when I set up a meeting downtown with a fellow from Newnan. We were going to split the distance between our offices and he suggested that we meet there. Years ago, when we first started our in-town eating adventures, Front Page News (the one in Little […]
Bantam + Biddy – Atlanta, GA
I remember hearing about the opening of Shaun Doty (formerly of Shaun’s / currently of Yeah Burger) and Lance Gummere’s (formerly of the Shed at Glenwood) Bantam + Biddy some months back, but had forgotten about it until I read an article about Scoutmob’s anticipated 2013 restaurant openings. They’re opening another organic local-poultry place at […]
The Spence – Atlanta, GA
As we headed downtown for another wedding shopping venture (IKEA, this time), I saw that we’d be near Richard Blais’ latest enterprise, the Spence. I’ve reviewed a couple of his other places (Flip and HD1) and we decided to give this one a try. The Spence is part of the Concentrics Group, most of which […]
BGR: the Burger Joint – Atlanta, GA
About two weeks ago there was an article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle about the “burger wars” in Atlanta and one of the contenders was BGR: the Burger Joint. A place of which I’d never heard. Hmmmm. Challenge accepted. Plotting a trip into the city, we found ourselves in the parking garage of Atlantic Station, […]
Papi’s – Atlanta, GA
As our youngest was preparing to head back to college, we asked if there was a particular place that she would like to eat. Her first thought was Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill, on Ponce de Leon. I’ve said for years that the best Cuban sandwich in Atlanta was at the old Havana Sandwich Shop. […]
