Eating Americana – Peachtree Corners, GA
The chicken was excellent, juicy and piping hot, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The skin was crisp and the seasoning on the chicken was deceptively simple and represents chef James Chien’s love affair with American comfort food. In a great review in Eater Atlanta, Lia Picard’s tells chef’s story, so I’d refer you […]

Pho Ga Tony Tony – Norcross, GA
Several weeks ago in the AJC dining column, I saw a review of Pho Ga Tony Tony, a restaurant that opened here in 2019. It is styled similarly to Philadelphia’s famed Pho Ga Thanh Thanh. That shouldn’t be a surprise, as Pho Ga Tony Tony’s co-owner and executive chef Tony Le’s parents run the Philly […]
Bleu House Market – Norcross, GA
I love the chance to meet one of my girls for lunch. And when the lunch spot, unbeknownst to us, ends up being a barbecue spot, it’s a double win. Looking for some place new to try, one of her co-workers told her that the Market, in Norcross, was her “kind of place”. Unsure what […]
Xin’s Chinese Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Another day roaming alone for lunch, another new place. Today, I was actually heading to Masterpiece, as I hadn’t been in almost two weeks, when I noticed another Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall. Walking down to Xin’s Chinese Cuisine, they had carry out menus by the outside door, so I grabbed one and […]
Versace Dominican Food – Norcross, GA
When I was looking for a place to turn around to get back to Sabor Inka, I found Versace Dominican Food and filed it away for later. Today ended up being “later”. Walking in, it is cafeteria style and you’re confronted with the large menu – thank goodness for the pictures as the names of the […]
Sabor Inka – Norcross, GA
Heading out for lunch on lone wolf Thursday, I was looking for something new. I headed down Pleasant Hill Road towards 29, a stretch of road on which I usually don’t drive. Then I saw the sign above, with a banner underneath it that said that they were now open seven days a week, and […]
I Luv Pho – Norcross, GA
One of my co-workers has invited me several times to join him at I Luv Pho and, not being the biggest pho fan, I’ve passed. Today, he mentioned it again and I asked the question I should have asked the first time – “Do they have anything other than pho?” The answer was a resounding […]
Panaderia Elizabeth – Norcross, GA
On the way to get my (current) favorite nachos in the world last week, I noticed a parking lot full of pickups in front of a building that was formerly a Dairy Queen. That (the number of trucks, not the closed Dairy Queen) is always such a promising sign. Driving back, I saw the sign […]
