OK Cafe – Atlanta, GA
I’ve eaten at OK Cafe several times, over the years, most often for breakfast. Back in January of 2015, Atlanta Magazine named their burger as one of the top twenty in the city and I felt compelled to try one. By the time the article came out, they had experienced a fire (in December […]
Xelapan Cafeteria – Doraville, GA
One of my buddies sent me an email the other morning from Atlanta Magazine about Xelapan Cafeteria, telling me that we needed to try the place. The review pegged it as my kind of place – the menu is not in English and there may or may not be somewhere there to interpret it […]
Panaderia Elizabeth – Norcross, GA
On the way to get my (current) favorite nachos in the world last week, I noticed a parking lot full of pickups in front of a building that was formerly a Dairy Queen. That (the number of trucks, not the closed Dairy Queen) is always such a promising sign. Driving back, I saw the sign […]
Man Chun Hong – Doraville, GA
Man Chun Hong is another place that has been on my list since 2006. Not being a giant kimchi fan, Korean places tend to keep getting leap-frogged by other cuisine in the area. This Sunday morning, we were heading up Buford Highway and I read a few Yelp reviews on the way. Everyone was raving […]
The Cockentrice – Atlanta, GA
After our attempted earlier (but still really late, for us) dinner, here we were at 9:45, looking for supper. I drove from Piedmont Park toward Edgewood figuring that we’d run into Old 4th Ward Pizza and let my beloved try it out. But we circled their small parking lot twice and were unable to find […]
Linton’s Cafe in the Park – Atlanta, GA
I rarely post anything about a “bad” meal – if I don’t say anything after eating at a place, it’s because I enjoyed nothing about the meal. Bad service, on the other hand, needs to be talked about. Tonight we tried to have dinner at Linton’s in the Park, but the front of […]
Brezza Cucina – Atlanta, GA
Another day, another trip to Ponce City Market. We were heading in town to meet someone passing through and looking for a place to grab lunch around 11:30. PCM seemed like a good choice, as there are at least five places I still want to try. My suggestion of fish was shot down, as it […]
Atlanta Magazine’s Top Twenty Burgers for 2015 – a Summary
Back in January of this year (2015), Atlanta Magazine published their list of the twenty best burgers in Atlanta. We’ve made an effort to get to any of these that we hadn’t already had and have five left, as of this morning. I’ve listed the twenty below and hyperlinked […]
Kavarna Coffee – Decatur, GA
So…. after the really bland burger, my beloved asked me how close we were to “that place with the house-made pumpkin spice latte”. That phrase equates to Kavarna Coffee. Earlier in the month, when we ate at Steinbeck’s, the server had told us how good the pumpkin spice latte was across the street. We went […]
H Harper Station – Atlanta, GA (an update)
In an attempt to at least close out the top 10 on Atlanta Magazine’s 2015 Best Burger list before the end of the year, we made a return visit to H Harper Station for the “number 7”, their BeltLine burger. On our first visit, we were underwhelmed, but had not been led astray by […]
