El Taco Veloz – Sandy Springs, GA
Looking for a quick bite on Thursday as I headed around the top-end perimeter, I jumped off at Roswell Road, certain I’d find something. And I did – local chain El Taco Veloz. They have five locations in the metro area and one in Gainesville. Just south of 285, this location is near the […]
The Mercury – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had seen a note on Eater Atlanta earlier this week noting that the Mercury had opened for lunch service in the last couple of weeks. From the team behind Decatur’s Pinewood Tippling Room, the Mercury (with a decor resembling the early 60s) is on the second floor of Ponce City […]

Atlanta Magazine just named the 50 best restaurants in Atlanta (see their article here). Below are links to our thoughts on 43 of them (with two more in draft mode), in case you want differing opinions. Cakes & Ale Tomo Restaurant Eugene Atlas Aria Gunshow Boccaluppo Little Bacch The General Muir Bones Miller Union Bacchanalia […]
Talay Thai Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Talay Thai Cuisine has become part of our regular lunch time rotation. Located in a strip mall, at the corner of Satellite Boulevard and Old Peachtree Road, they’re in a location that is about to get a BP next door. That will make an already challenging parking situation even more complicated. One of the guys […]
Beetlecat – Atlanta, GA
A couple of Fridays back, I saw a tweet from Belle Vivere of the lobster roll from Beetlecat and determined that we needed to get there soon. Seeing that they opened at 3:00 on Saturday, I figured we could wrap up an afternoon of in-town errands with a kind-of-early dinner, and we arrived around 5:30. […]
Yet Tuh – Doraville, GA
Yet Tuh came to my mind as we headed up Buford Highway on a Saturday afternoon. I had read a review about them in Atlanta Magazine, recently, which (basically) said that a meal at Yet Tuh is like Sunday lunch at your grandma’s house – provided that your grandma is Korean and can cook. […]
Minero – Atlanta, GA
I didn’t realize until earlier this week that Minero was Sean Brock’s restaurant. I’m a huge fan of his cooking and thought that a meal at this outpost of his Charleston Mexican restaurant would be a great lunch to start the new year. We met our daughter and son-in-law at Ponce City Market […]
Porch Light Latin Kitchen – Smyrna, GA
Sometime last month, I saw an online article from Atlanta Magazine about a new Latin restaurant that had opened (or was about to open) in Smyrna, Porch Light Latin Kitchen.* Always excited when something new opens OTP on the west side, I googled their website and saved it in my phone. I’ve thought about going […]
Kevin Rathbun Steak – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)
Steakhouses generally result in dark photos for me, and Kevin Rathbun Steak was no exception. I’ll apologize in advance for the quality of the photos. This post actually ties together two visits, more than one thousand days apart. The first visit was for an anniversary dinner in 2012, and is all of the photos […]
I Luv Pho – Norcross, GA
One of my co-workers has invited me several times to join him at I Luv Pho and, not being the biggest pho fan, I’ve passed. Today, he mentioned it again and I asked the question I should have asked the first time – “Do they have anything other than pho?” The answer was a resounding […]
