Tom + Chee – Kennesaw, GA
Over the last ten months, I’ve eaten at two different Tom+Chee restaurants, on three different occasions. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve LOVED grilled cheese and tomato soup together and thought the idea of a restaurant focused on that pairing was brilliant. These guys got their big start on Shark Tank and have now […]
Dreamland Barbecue – Duluth, GA
The newest location of Tuscaloosa’s Dreamland Bar-B-Que opened in the renovation of downtown Duluth’s Parson’s Alley, last summer. The northeast side of town has been without a Dreamland since the Peachtree Corners location burned down several years ago. At one time, there were three Atlanta locations – with the opening of this one, there are […]
Hattie Marie’s – College Park, GA
After roaming around with my beloved on a Friday morning, we stopped by her sister’s house, as we were getting ready for lunch. She mentioned that a new barbecue place had opened in downtown College Park last week. We happened to be in the area around lunch time today. Coincidence? I think not. Off we […]
Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods – Athens, GA
Standing in the doorway, looking both at the sign on the sidewalk that said open 11-6 on Saturday and the closed sign in the window, I’m sure I looked like a dog that had just heard a high pitched noise. Since “the game was out of town and he had to cook for a funeral”, […]
L’ Thai Organic Cuisine & Wine Bar – Tucker, GA
Another place from the original list, L’Thai was a newcomer to the Atlanta scene, back in 2006. Cut to 2017 and they’re now one of the longest tenured Asian restaurants in Atlanta. And the first organic Thai restaurant, according to one source, in the South. This may be the weirdest interior I’ve seen in a […]
Poke’ Bar – Suwanee, GA
Several weeks ago, I saw an emailed article about the rise of poke’ (or Hawaiian poke’) in Atlanta and have been wanting to give it a try. Last night, heading down Buford Highway I searched for a poke’ place, via Google maps, and found none. Undaunted, I determined to try it today, for lunch. Looking […]
Duck’s Trolly – Manchester, GA
While camping in Pine Mountain with some friends, we were out roaming through all the stores in the surrounding towns. While checking out the Meriwether County visitor center in Warm Springs, I heard someone ask the guide about Duck’s Trolly, in Manchester. “Best burger around,” was the reply. That did it for me. When discussions […]
Floataway Cafe – Atlanta, GA
Another spot from the original 2006 food list, Floataway Cafe, was our dining destination tonight. After eleven years, we were finally near the right place at dinner time, so I used the Resy app to make a reservation. We headed toward Emory, then down Zonolite road, into an industrial park. Near the dead end, we […]
Antica Posta – Atlanta, GA
For the last several years, I’ve been intending to eat at Antica Posta. But as they are only open for dinner and in the heart of Buckhead, visits to that space / time crossroads, without having other plans, are few and far between. As I was right around the corner, on Maple Street, and heading […]
Pho Dai Loi – Forest Park, GA
Back last spring, I finally made it to Pho Dai Loi 2 on Buford Highway, after it having been on my list for more than 10 years. As we were heading home from the airport, I asked my beloved where we should lunch and received a very committed “I want pho.” I punched “pho” into […]
