Seven Lamps – Atlanta, GA
Back in 2013, eater.com put together a list of the “25 Hottest Burgers in America and the “secret burger” at Seven Lamps (a newcomer, at the time, to the Atlanta dining scene) made their list. I had never heard of the restaurant, but I did add it to my list. Located in the corner of […]
Clocked! Diner – Athens, GA
We were heading up to the fabulous North Georgia Folk Festival, above Athens and stopped downtown, for a little pre-festival shopping and lunch at Clocked! Diner. They declare their ideology very clearly: We proudly use organic, local and natural ingredients, free of chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, synthetic herbicides and pesticides, ammonia and other additives. All […]
Uncle Jack’s Meat House – Duluth, GA
In a space that most recently was Cotton and Corn, at the office, we’ve been watching the anticipated opening of Uncle Jack’s Meat House. We eat next door (technically next door to next door), at Vinny’s, frequently and we heard, all summer, that they were opening in a couple of weeks. This is the first […]
Cypress Street Pint & Plate – Atlanta, GA
For a change, lately, I know where this referral came from – a friend said that I really needed to try the Sublime doughnut burger at Cypress Street Pint and Plate, and I wrote it down. I wrote it down a year (or two) ago. Today, as we were heading in town for lunch, it […]
Hickory Hut – Dallas, GA
Having driven by the Hickory Hut BBQ dozens of times, I finally had the chance to visit on this Friday. Just under the bridge, as you head west out of downtown Dallas, they are there on the right, where they’ve been since 1965. For a place that advertises no phone and no sign, I was […]
JD’s Bar-B-Que – Woodstock, GA
As we were roaming around the northwest suburbs, lunch time rolled around and I was (of course) searching the area for a spot. JD’s Bar-B-Que appeared on my phone, and I set our travel plans toward Bells Ferry (they also have an Acworth location). They’ve been open since 1999 and at some time in the past […]
Shorty’s – Tucker, GA
On my (not-so-shorty) list for almost a decade, I’ve thought about going to Shorty’s Pizza on at least half a dozen occasions. The original opened on North Druid Hills and they later opened the Tucker location where we dined tonight. Realizing we were going to be close to our youngest daughter’s house, we invited her […]
Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno – Austell, GA
Earlier this year, I spent quite a few evenings in the Austell area. Several times I drove by Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno, at the corner of Hicks and Austell Roads. and thought, “I wonder what that place’s food is like?” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]
Co’m Vietnamese Grill
I’ve been meaning to eat at Co’m Vietnamese Grill for quite a while. We had even been in one night for dinner while my beloved was doing the whole thirty and couldn’t find any dishes that weren’t rice or noodle based, so we went elsewhere. When a cohort wanted to meet for lunch near the […]
