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 […]
Don Pedro – Norcross, GA
On another lone-wolf Wednesday, my quest for food took me south on Buford Highway. As I was driving and looking for a place, I recalled having seen Don Pedro (Real Mexican Food) about two weeks ago, while going elsewhere, and the parking lot was absolutely packed. And packed with trucks (that’s always a good sign). […]
Paizano’s – Norcross, GA
Looking for a spot for a work lunch between Duluth and Marietta always seems to be a challenge – there just isn’t much “in the middle”. As I was given the choice of location, I chose some place that I had not been, and we went to Paizano’s in downtown Norcross. The city of Norcross […]
The Mughals – Norcross, GA
In today’s episode our intrepid hero goes in search of chicken 65. Then he begins to ponder: If there is religious significance in the numerological naming?; and What the first 64 versions of the dish lasted like? Actually, this was a lunch meet up with some other Atlanta food bloggers (Grant from Marie, Let’s Eat, […]
G.A.B.B.A. – Norcross, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. (I realized as I was writing this that I was really overusing parentheticals. Then I tried to stop using parantheses (but I couldn’t). Pardon me in advance.) I had seen the sign for the Great American Burger Boutique and Ale (G.A.B.B.A) several times, driving north on Peachtree Industrial. I just wasn’t […]
Nam Phuong – Norcross, GA
For the last couple of years, every article that I read about food in Atlanta mentioned Nam Phoung, in Norcross. When a friend and I were looking for a place to celebrate his birthday lunch, and I realized that Nam Phoung was between our offices, I suggested it and he thought it sounded like fun. […]
Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen – Norcross, GA
I’ve been working in the Norcross / Duluth area for over 20 years. For many of those years, particularly those prior to the opening of the Forum on 141 and the Mall of Georgia, there was a dearth of “nice” restaurants for a business lunch. When they opened Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, (back in the early […]
Cafe Restaurante Dominicano – Norcross, GA
So another day rolls around and I’m the only member of my lunch crowd that’s “in the office”. Not in the mood for the any of the regular spots, I open up my “lists” to see what is near the office. Every restaurant on the list appears to be Asian and I’m just not in […]
Matthews Cafeteria – Tucker, GA
From 1989 to 1992, my office was in Tucker, about three miles from Matthews Cafeteria and we’d eat there once or twice a month. In 1992, our office moved to Norcross and the journey became longer and the visit less frequent. We’d head down there once every couple of months, generally on a Thursday for […]
