Mizumi Ramen – Duluth, GA

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out where to eat.  You know how it goes – there are a certain number of places that are in “the rotation” around your office or home, but sometimes you want something different than the usual.  That’s what led me to Mizumi Ramen.  I had seen […]

Chops Lobster Bar – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)

  When we were looking for a night of “fine dining” out, a couple of months back, I started looking to see when we could get a Saturday night reservation at Chops Lobster Bar. Today’s the day.  You see, the Lobster Bar is one of the only places in town to get A-5 grade certified […]

Revival – Decatur, GA – CLOSED

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. We had been excitedly anticipating the open of Kevin Gillespie’s Revival for months, shortly after we first heard of its opening.  About three weeks back, our youngest sent me a text that they were opening that week and we set a date and made reservations.  Located in a home from the […]

Einstein’s – Atlanta, GA

Looking for a brunch spot, on Open Table (so we didn’t have to wait) on the way to midtown, you only have so many choices.  I didn’t know that I’ve been to Einstein’s in at least five years and knew that I hadn’t blogged about it, so I grabbed the 10:45 slot and we parked […]

Fincher’s Barbecue – Macon, GA

I stopped for lunch at Fincher’s Bar-B-Q, after a morning meeting in Macon. I had not eaten at Fincher’s for at least eight years, and they had recently come back to my memory after reading the 29 Barbecue Bucket List article last month.  In it, Myron Mixon (you may know him from the Destination America […]

Nan Fine Thai Dining – Atlanta, GA (Photo Blog Post)

For at least eight years, I’ve driven by Nan Thai Fine Dining at a minimum rate of three times per week – that’s a minimum of 1200 drive-bys without a stop-in. What I didn’t know was that Nan is one of 11 Atlanta restaurants rated as a AAA 4 Diamond award winner for 2015, which […]

Thirteen Pies – Atlanta, GA

Our newlywed daughter and son-in-law have set an admirable food goal for the summer – knock as many places off Creative Loafing’s 100 places to Eat in Atlanta list as they can.  When they called and asked if we’d like to meet for dinner, I told them to pick a spot from the list, in […]

521 Kitchen & Cue – Atlanta, GA

For the last several years, our 4th of July ritual has been: participating in (please not that I did not say running) the Peachtree Road Race; followed by a quick shower; and then, ribs.  And after a particularly challenging incident in finding said ribs a couple of years back, it has sinceinvolved planning where we were […]

Veruni Napoli – Atlanta, 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.

Bludso’s BBQ – Atlanta, GA

Bludso’s BBQ opened last August on Walker Street in West End and I don’t know that I’ve heard a single person talking about.  (Spoiler alert: people should be talking about it – this is seriously good brisket.)  In fact, I drive through that section of town about three days a week, but had never noticed […]
