H & H Restaurant – Macon, GA
Heading to the beach for Labor Day weekend, we left early enough in the day that lunch would be in Macon. That meant finally making it to H&H Restaurant. H& H is somewhat of a legend in Georgia restaurant and music circles, as one of the founders of the restaurant, “Mama Louise” Hudson, first fed […]
Bennie’s Red Barn – Saint Simons Island, GA
Ever since our kids were small, St. Simons Island has always been a special place for our family. As our family has grown (with the addition of two sons in law), we’ve made a Labor Day weekend tradition of renting a house and all going down for the long weekend. There are places that we […]
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 […]
Pho Hoang Long – Smyrna, GA
You could say that this pho was just what the doctor ordered. Well, kind of. The last time I saw my GP, we were talking about my diet and he asked if I liked Asian food. I mentioned where we had eaten recently and he said no, you need to go here, instead, for Vietnamese […]
Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse – Cartersville, GA
About two years back, we had dinner at Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse, at their original incarnation in Euharlee. We were in Cartersville the weekend after the 4th of July and looking for lunch, when I remembered that they had moved. We headed over, late in the lunch hour, and found a fairly empty restaurant. My beloved […]
Tupelo Honey – Sandy Springs, GA
Fourth of July morning was atypical for us. For the last seven years, we’ve walked the South’s largest road race – the Peachtree Road Race. But neither of us was really feeling it this year, so we passed. That allowed us to sleep in and then we headed out for brunch. I searched Open Table […]
Illegal Food – Atlanta, GA
We had a meal (or three or four) at Illegal Food back in 2014 and 2015 when they were a popup kitchen at Joystick, but we had not been to their actual location. Today, when we were in town on a Saturday without plans, I decided it would be “big” burgers for lunch. Off to […]
Thank U Chicken – Duluth, GA
Thank U Chicken appeared out of nowhere (to me) on the Garden ‘N Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List. And it’s just down the road from the office. A lunch visit was definitely in order. I went in on a rainy Thursday, and appeared to be the first person in the restaurant. I knew I […]
Jinya Ramen Bar – Sandy Springs, GA
With locations in eleven states and two Canadian provinces, the goal of founder Tomonori Takahashi was to make the daily ramen he was used to in his native Japan readily available to Americans. To make it as common as going out for a burger. Or ordering pizza. He started in California in 2010 and opened […]
Zyka – Decatur, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
