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.
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 […]
