Mia’s Bar & Grill and Cafe Wing Max – Hiram, GA
On a Sunday evening, I was looking for dinner near the house and thought that I might try something new. I had seen several folks talking about places for wings in Hiram or Dallas, on “the Facebook”, and (I vaguely remember) several folks talked about Cafe Wing Max, in the Academy Sports shopping center. This […]
Slope’s BBQ – Cumming, GA
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a barbecue snob. I’ve known it for a while, but today really drove the point home. When I leave this much on a plate, it’s just not a good sign.. Slopes’s BBQ has been on a secondary list of Atlanta area barbecue joints since July of 2010. They […]
The Nest – Kennesaw, GA
Unless you can read small print, you’d be hard pressed to know that The Nest is a barbecue place. Unless, as you were driving down Cherokee Street, heading into downtown Kennesaw, you saw the two smokers below on the street. That may be why they are there, as opposed to in the parking lot out […]
Golden Seven Two – Suwanee, GA
In the continuing exploration of places around my office that I haven’t eaten, today’s episode took me up Buford Highway to Suwanee Town Center. I’ve dined at most of the places currently there (and a couple that are no longer) and drove all the way to the Lawrenceville-Suwanee end of the complex before finding Golden […]
Brush Sushi Izakaya – Decatur, GA
Brush Sushi Izakaya has been on my radar for several months, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself. Everyone raves about their omakase service (this translates to “I’ll leave it up to you”, in Japanese and it’s a chef’s choice of sushi and ingredients). But that much raw seafood is a bit of a stretch for […]
Greater Good BBQ – Atlanta, GA
The Greater Good wasn’t our original lunch destination. Working off my original list, we were heading toward Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian spot that’s been on my list for almost 12 years. I googled the address and the hours (not wanting to show up some place that was only open for dinner) and was surprised […]
Stockyard Burgers and Bones – Marietta, GA
As often happens, our dinner at Stockyard Burgers and Bones wasn’t part of the original plan. It was Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve), and we had dinner reservations elsewhere but, as the menu there changes weekly, when we arrived, nothing jumped out at us. Or even appealed to us. We understand that, with […]
Nueva San Salvador Bakery – Hiram, GA
Even with it having been open for over a year (they opened in November 2016), I had no idea that we had a Salvadoran restaurant in Hiram. But, on Saturday, when I ran to Office Max to pick something up, there was Nueva San Salvador Bakery, in the same strip mall. I got so excited, […]
B’s Cracklin’Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I heard that someone was smoking whole hog barbecue in northwest Atlanta. I made a mental note and figured that I would hear more about it and get there soon enough. Two months passed by when I saw an online article from Atlanta magazine about pitmaster Bryan Furman, at B’s Cracklin’ Barbecue, […]
Takorea – Atlanta, GA
Let me preface this post by saying that we love, love, love Hankook Taqueria and that we make our way there, often, when we’re looking for a quick bite on the West Side. Heading to a matinee at the Fox on this Sunday, we decided to give chef Tomas Lee’s other restaurant, Takorea, a try. […]
