Sprayberry’s Bar-B-Que – Newnan, GA
Growing up in the West Atlanta suburbs, we only had one barbecue place that I knew about – Wallace’s in Austell. It was the only one we ate at, and, as a non-driving child, I could only go where I was taken. But, occasionally we made a journey to Harold’s (which closed three+ years […]
Hankook Taqueria – Atlanta, GA
I first visited Hankook Taqueria back in early July and decided to take my lovely wife back as we headed in town this afternoon. On the first visit, it was a lone wolf Thursday and I was looking for something quick before heading downtown. I had heard about them in an article about Atlanta tacos and that […]
Arepa Mia – Atlanta, GA
Today, we met the newliest-weds of our kids for a meal at Arepa Mia, in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market (thanks, Roger for the info to allow the correction of the name. Note: If you enjoy this blog, you ought to check out Roger’s, Friday Date Night). The kids had been to the Decatur location […]
Steinbeck’s Ale House – Decatur, GA
We’ve been working our way through Atlanta Magazine’s list of the twenty best burgers, on and off, since it was published in January. Tonight, we’re knocking off one of our two remaining places in the top ten, Steinbeck’s Ale House in Oakhurst, tonight. This selection was based on a combination of location and […]
Staplehouse – Atlanta, GA
To preface this post: I’ve followed this story for years and I recap part of that story below. It has made for a long post, so stick with me. But if you don’t want to read it all, I’ll cut to the chase – it’s really good. You should go. Sometimes you wait a while for […]
Lovie’s Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, on a routine trip through Buckhead, I saw the sign for a barbecue restaurant, Lovie’s BBQ, that I had never seen before. As you turn left off Lenox Road onto Piedmont, you pass by Chipotle and Naan Stop and the entrance sign for this place. It’s around back and down the hill, […]
Old 4th Ward Pizza – Atlanta, GA
Back in January, I saw that Old 4th Ward Pizza had opened in, you guessed it, the Old 4th Ward, in the Irwin Street Market. They make grandma-style pizza and appear to be the only folks in town making that kind of pizza. By the name, one would guess that it’s pizza like your grandma […]
Taqueria San Pancho – Tucker, GA
Meeting our youngest for a Friday lunch, she suggested a taqueria near her husband’s school that they had found from a list of the best tacos in town. Of course, I agreed. So off to Taqueria San Pancho, I headed. It’s in a small strip mall, near the corner of Jimmy Carter/Mountain Industrial Boulevard and […]
OddBird – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, I’ve been meaning to get to OddBird, the restaurant within a restaurant serving dinner in the West Egg space. There were a couple of hindrances – it is dinner only and only open Wednesday – Saturday. But I was drawn in by two words: “hot chicken”. Hot chicken is […]
Hop’s Chicken – Atlanta, GA
Finally, Ponce City Market is (sort of / mostly) open. At least, some of the food places and stores are. Over last weekend our daughter sent us a text from H&F Burger, along with a survey of what was open. So when Friday night rolled around and we were headed to dinner with another […]
