Gu’s Dumplings – Atlanta, GA
Quite a while back (two years, apparently, as I looked for the link), we had a great dinner at Gu’s Bistro and I recommended it to several folks. Then I heard they closed. Then, several months later, I read that they were opening a dumpling stall in Krog Street Market. As I said, […]
Jia – Atlanta, GA
From Dahe Yang and chef Jiguo Jiang of Tasty China Jia opened in Ponce City Market last September. Along with Gu’s Dumplings (which has a much smaller menu – Jia’s refers to its own as a one hundred item menu), these may be the first Szechuan restaurants downtown. In one of the articles […]
The One Izakaya – 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.
Armando’s Caribe – Duluth, GA
So one day I’m sitting in the office and my boss walks in and says, “have you tried that new Cuban place in Duluth?” My eyes lit up like a kid at Christmas. He took that as a no. So a week later, we met for lunch at Armando’s Caribe Grill. The name didn’t scream […]
The Rib Ranch – Marietta, GA
I’ve driven by the Rib Ranch for at least twenty years – it’s in a really awkward spot on Canton Highway, just east of I-75 that I am fairly certain that you cannot make a left into when heading east. Or a right out of when you’re leaving. There was a write-up about them in […]
Craft Izakaya – Atlanta, GA
On a beautiful Saturday evening, as we were heading back toward home, I tossed out a couple of options for dinner of places that I wanted to try. The answer was “whichever one is open now”. At a little before five, from the three choices I gave, the intersection was zero. But Craft Izakaya did […]
Souper Jenny – Atlanta, GA
Souper Jenny is another place that has been on my list for a decade. But the location that put them there, in Buckhead, on West Andrews and only being open for lunch Monday – Saturday made them really hard to get to. Souper Jenny’s four Atlanta locations are part of Planet Jenny – […]
Chicago’s Nancy’s Pizza – Atlanta, GA
With a meeting down town that ran through my typical lunch hour, by the time that it was over I was building a ferocious hunger. Some one had recently told me how much they enjoyed the deep dish, Chicago-style pizza at Nancy’s, on Ponce. I was heading north from downtown on Piedmont and made […]
Bartaco – Atlanta, GA
Earlier this week, when talking about taquerias, someone mentioned how much their son was enjoying Bartaco on the Westside. I made a mental note and when looking for lunch, I plugged in their address and off we went. To say that this was not what I was expecting was a gross understatement. It wasn’t […]
Atlas – Atlanta, GA
I remember that the first review I read of Atlas was one of the last that John Kessler wrote before he left town last summer and he raved, particularly, about the artwork. He even upgraded the star rating based on the masterpieces on display. I kept it in mind as a place to go on […]
