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 […]
Big Al’s Gourmet Butter-Made Burgers – Atlanta, GA
I’ve seen Big Al’s Gourmet Butter-Made Burgers several times, as I was going by. The time that stuck in my mind the most was during the Peachtree Road Race – they’re on the left, just as you get ready to hit the steepest part of “Cardiac Hill”. I really thought about stopping and getting one that […]
Canton Cooks – Sandy Springs, GA
On a rainy Sunday, we went looking for a Chinese restaurant from my list, China Cooks (this one had been on the list for five or more years). As I was looking for the address on Google, I ran across several Yelp reviews, almost all of whom said that they only ate at China Cooks, […]
Twin Smokers BBQ – Atlanta, GA
Twin Smokers BBQ opened last December on Marietta Street, near the Georgia Aquarium, but we had not had the chance to try them out yet. Today, as we headed to the airport for an afternoon flight, we ended up downtown, looking for food. As we drove down Marietta Street towards West Midtown, I saw their […]
The Rookery – Macon, GA
Our official “third child” had been living in Macon for the last couple of years, at grad school and has been telling me that I really needed to go to the Rookery. Today, as we were heading back to Atlanta from the beach, we rolled into the Heart of Georgia just in time for a […]
Walls Barbecue Restaurant – Savannah, GA
The first time that we attempted to eat at Wall’s BBQ, it was dark and pouring down rain. And we could not find the restaurant. You see, it’s on one of the weird non-streets that they have in Savannah. We kept driving around where our GPS thought it was and never saw it. You access […]
Crafty Hog – Smyrna, GA
I discovered the Crafty Hog in an article earlier this year in the Atlanta Business Chronicle about new barbecue places in the metro and made a note of a new place on the west side. Then we actually drove by it about a month ago, but not near time for food. When is not a […]
Gus’s Fried Chicken – Atlanta, GA
For the last fifteen years, I’ve been wanting to try Gus’s Fried Chicken, in Memphis. We had been to Memphis a couple of times over that span, but the chicken encounter never seemed to happen. This fascination all goes back to reading, somewhere, that they had the best fried chicken in America. A couple of […]
