Jim’s Smokin Que – Blairsville, GA
We’re coming to you today near the end of the Six Gap trail, in Blairsville, with lunch at Jim’s Smokin Que. This spot comes to us courtesy of a Trip Advisor ranking of barbecue joints from a couple of years back, in which they ranked fairly highly, nationally. Being on Six Gap trail, there were […]
Sushi House Hayakawa – Atlanta, GA
Another place that has been on the list for a decade is Sushi House Hayakawa. When it first appeared on my radar, I was not nearly as adventurous an eater as I’ve evolved into. As a result, whenever I was looking for a place to go, it kept moving toward the bottom of the list. […]
Ssam Burger – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, there was an article on Eater.com about interesting burgers in Atlanta. Ssam Burger, on Defoors Ferry popped up. I had not heard about it, but with our love of the Korean / taco fusion at Hankook, why wouldn’t we like a Korean / burger place? Located in a strip center, next […]
1910 Public House – Lilburn, GA
Looking for a place for lunch with a friend for his birthday, he mentioned that there was a new “best burger” (from early February, 2017, voting from Access Atlanta) in town that he had read about – at 1910 Public House in Lilburn. Our decision was made for us. Traveling into old town Lilburn, the […]
Bread & Butterfly – Atlanta, GA
I had been intending on trying Bread & Butterfly for quite a while – ever since they popped onto my radar with Atlanta magazine’s best restaurants of 2016 early last year, in fact. A European-style bistro and cafe, it is from chef Billy Allin (of Cakes & Ale), and located in the fairly new Inman […]
Rising Son – Avondale Estates, GA
Our daughter and son-in-law had told us about how good the breakfast and dinner were at Rising Sons a month or two back. When we were near Avondale Estates around dinner time, I made a bee line for the Tudor inspired downtown. Located just down the street from Pallolaville, there seems to be quite […]
Buckner’s Family Restaurant – Jackson, GA
For years, my dad and mom had a couple of friends that, on a random afternoon, would drive up and say, “Y’all want to go to Buckner’s?” And off they went – to Jackson (about an hour south of the Atlanta airport), for fried chicken that has been served up, along side I-75, for almost […]
Kirin Japanese Restaurant – Duluth, 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.
Sushi Huku
As I was heading to meet some folks in Vinings, I went back to the well of the original list, once again, and looked at the options. I found that Sushi Huku was on the list and on the way. While it has a Sandy Springs address, it is right there at Akers Mill and Powers Ferry […]
Better Half – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located on 14th Street, just off the Georgia Tech campus, is a relatively new entrant to the Atlanta dining scene – Better Half, which started life as a supper club, Pushstart Kitchen. Husband and wife Zach and Kristina Meloy began this labor of love at the Goat Farm in 2011 and […]
