Sun In My Belly – Decatur, GA
Looking for a dinner choice for Friday night, it really boiled down to the confluence of the answers to two questions: 1) What sounds good?; and 2) Where can we get a reservation? When I saw Sun In My Belly appear as a choice on OpenTable, I clicked on the first time slot that we […]
Twin Oaks Drive-In – Brunswick, GA
The last time that I was in Brunswick, I mentioned looking for barbecue for dinner to the person that I was meeting with that afternoon. He said that the best barbecue in town was at Twin Oaks, but when I Googled them, they are only open from 6:00 – 3:00, Monday – Saturday. Needless to […]
Ammazza – Atlanta, GA
Several weeks back, when we went to Varasano’s Pizzeria, we were talking with the waitress about the state of pizza in Atlanta. She told the story of one of her friends who is a server at Ammazza: It seem that they were both going to a party and each of them was to bring a […]
Gordo’s New York Style Pizza – Duluth, GA
In today’s episode of dining alone, I kept driving until I saw some place “new” (to me). There was a sign for a hot wing place that drew me into the shopping center attached to the Texaco, at the corner of Rogers Bridge and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, but found thta they didn’t open until 3:00. […]
Illegal Food @ Joystick – Atlanta, GA
On Monday night , driving home from dropping something off in town, I noticed Joystick Gamebar on Edgewood, for the first time. It’s on a stretch of road I don’t often drive, but the name stuck in my mind. Then on Tuesday, Business Insider wrote this article about the best burgers in each state. They […]
Joe’s BBQ – Blue Ridge, GA
About two weeks back, TripAdvisor set the barbecue world on its collective ear, by declaring Georgia the barbecue “Capitol”, with three Georgia spots in their top 10, in this list. Friends from around the country (particularly Texans) immediately took umbrage and started questioning the quality of the rankings. Sadly, I had personally been to none […]
Tomo Japanese Restaurant – Atlanta, GA
Tomo Japanese Restaurant has, apparently, been on my radar since August 2006 (when I first saw it mentioned in Atlanta Magazine’s 101 Favorite Restaurants edition, as “new and noteworthy” – the original paper “list” I carried in the trunk). When Atlanta Magazine’s restaurant critic Bill Addison announced he was stopping his regular gig there to […]
Malson’s Original World Famous Bar-B-Q – Kingsland, GA
Heading south from Brunswick back to the Jacksonville airport down I-95, we were looking for a spot for dinner. I’d originally Googled and found a place called Willi Jewels Old School Barbecue in Kingsland, and we were heading in that direction. As we headed east on State 40 my co-pilot said, “there’s a barbecue place […]
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q – Atlanta, GA
Heading downtown to a show at the Fox, we were planning on an early dinner and I wasn’t sure where to go. In the process of deciding, I realized that I’d never written about Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. Decision made. I’m sure most that will read this know the story of the Fox brothers, but just […]
La Tagliatella – Atlanta, GA
For Mother’s Day, we headed over to Emory Village with our youngest and her boyfriend, for brunch at La Tagliatella. We had originally considered a visit to La Tagliatella when we were downtown several months ago, at their midtown location. I discovered, when I was writing this blog post, that the midtown location closed at […]
