K & K Soul Food – Atlanta, GA
Today’s lunch is at another spot sent to me from the pages of Garden N Gun – K&K Soul Food. (It’s like these pages speak to me – “if we fry it, you will come.”) K & K has been in business for fifty years, and I’ve been seeing it on one version of my […]
LT’s Wings & Other Things – Atlanta, GA
THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED Another find from Garden & Gun’s Fried Chicken Bucket List, LT’s Wings and Other Things was hailed as staying “busy, with lines out the door.” We arrived around 6:00 on a Saturday and seemed to hit at a good time – there was only one person waiting for food and a […]
John’s Fine Food – Jonesboro, GA
For a (of recently) rare Saturday of roaming the city, we were heading to the Scott’s Antique Market. The State DOT wasn’t cooperating, however, as the exits to both Jonesboro Rd and Moreland Ave, east–bound on 285, were closed with roadwork. We had to sneak up on it, and found several spots to stop, along […]
Blakely Chicken – Blakely, GA
This story is probably best told as the fried-chicken-that-almost-got-away. Camping over in Eufala, we were as close as we were going to be, in the forseeable future, to Blakely Chicken – within an hour’s drive. It had hit my radar in an article in Garden n Gun with this quote from Linton Hopkins: “If […]
Off the Hook – Lawrenceville, GA
One day, while roaming southern Gwinnett county looking for lunch, I wandered by Off the Hook, on Lawrenceville Highway. In a shopping center, near a Jamaican restaurant that originally lured me in to the parking lot, you have to be careful and not end up at the Aldi, behind it. On my first visit, I […]

Big Chick – Washington, GA
Roaming the wilds of east Georgia, we’d been going from small town to smaller town, working our way through antique, thrift and junk stores. Our lunch destination was the metropolis of Washington. Georgia. We were heading to the Big Chick – a takeaway fried chicken place, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner since 1980, that I […]

Das BBQ
Sometimes, it feels like a place is just trying too hard – that’s my summary for this visit . Today, we headed to Das BBQ, after seeing it featured in Atlanta Eats and then getting a confirming positive vote from a lunch mate, yesterday. In all the pre-opening press, owner Stephen Franklin talks about wanting […]
Spring – Marietta, GA
Since eating there, chef Brian So has been named as a semi-finalist for a James Beard award for Rising Star of the Year, 2017. And,in 2024, Spring was among Atlanta’s first group of recipients of a Michelin star. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, […]
