Banshee – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, we were out and wandering about and I was shopping for snap button shirts. We were in a vintage shop in Decatur and I was discussing the challenge of finding vintage Wranglers and Rustlers with another gentleman (we were both wearing and looking for the shirts). Turned out, the other shopper was […]
Gusto! – Atlanta, GA
One Saturday afternoon, we headed downtown to meet our daughter and her husband for lunch. They suggested Gusto!, on Piedmont (they have several locations around town). They had been to the Decatur location and described it to us as “like Chipotle”, but not all Mexican. (We use the “like Chipotle” to reference things, a lot, […]
South of Heaven – Carrollton, GA
On a random Saturday at home, we decided to head west to Carrollton to do a little shopping. As we pulled into downtown, I recalled that some friends had told us about a new (less than a year old) barbecue place that had opened there. After a brief consult on choices, we decided to give […]
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar – Smyrna, GA
I’ve driven by Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar several times in the last year. They’re at the corner of Atlanta and Spring roads in the Jonquil Center in Smyrna. On this Saturday, as we were roaming about, we ended up in that area around the time for a late lunch. It was a rainy afternoon, so […]
Smitty’s Lockdown BBQ – Marietta, GA
After a little shopping in Marietta, we had time for lunch before we had to be downtown. I had seen Smitty’s Lockdown BBQ, the last few times we had been on this part of Canton Rd. Today, we had time to stop in and arrived in time for lunch. Open since late 2016, I had […]
The Porch – St Simons Island, GA
We’ve been going to Saint Simon’s Island since our kids were small. Now that they’re adults, with families of their own, we’ve started going back – renting a house for Labor Day weekend. One of the big questions is always, “what are we going to do for dinner?” There are a couple of regular haunts, […]
The Grey – Savannah, GA
Everybody, everywhere, seems to be talking about Mashama Bailey lately (she was on CBS Saturday morning last weekend, for example). When we were heading to the beach, and going to be in Savannah for lunch, I had an idea where we’d be stopping: The Grey, where Ms Bailey is executive chef. In what was […]
Mission + Market – Atlanta, GA
Mission + Market was a “double-find”, for me, in the same week: first I saw it appear on the Eater.com Atlanta “hot list” and then, one of my friends, who lives in Buckhead, was telling me about a great new place that had opened in his neighborhood. When we were making in-town dinner plans with […]
Hattie B’s – Atlanta, GA
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I love hot chicken. If you haven’t – I do love hot chicken. We’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for Hattie B’s to open for months – along, apparently, with a lot of other Atlantans. Earlier this month, the wait ended. In fact, […]
Charlie Joseph’s – LaGrange, GA
Heading down to the Middle East (of Alabama), we were rolling down I-85 and realized that we were running out of choices, rapidly, for lunch (if we wanted to eat soon) when I remembered seeing a sign about chili dogs last time we went to Pine Mountain. Nearing 185, I saw the sign for Charlie […]
