Don Pedro – Norcross, GA
On another lone-wolf Wednesday, my quest for food took me south on Buford Highway. As I was driving and looking for a place, I recalled having seen Don Pedro (Real Mexican Food) about two weeks ago, while going elsewhere, and the parking lot was absolutely packed. And packed with trucks (that’s always a good sign). […]
Horseradish Grill – Atlanta, GA
For Saturday night , we had a change of times for dinner, necessitating a change of locations. Horseradish Grill won the coin toss. I’ve known of Horseradish Grill for years but, for whatever reasons, we’ve never been. Arriving about 6:30, we were surprised at how empty it was. And even moreso that we were seated […]
Chat and Choo – Villa Rica, GA
Today’s adventure takes us to the Chat and Choo (See what they did there? Choo versus Chew? It’s across the street from the railroad tracks), downtown in the City of Riches. In case you didn’t know, Villa Rica was the home of Georgia’s first gold rush, in 1826. As we parked and were crossing US […]
Cafe 49 – Duluth, GA
In another episode in what has apparently become a continuing quest for a good sandwich, today I went to Café 49. I had eaten here several years ago, when it was called Magnolia’s on a fairly regular basis. Inside, it hasn’t changed much since then, except there is a coat of nondescript brown paint on […]
Brown Bag Deli & Cafe – Suwanee, GA
Out roaming on my own again at lunch time, I headed up to Suwanee Town Center, thinking that there must be a couple of places there that I had not yet tried. One of the first “new-to-me” places I saw was Brown Bag Deli & Cafe and my decision was made. I parked in front […]
Manna House – Marietta, GA
After almost a six-mile hike at Kolb Farm, we had worked up quite an appetite. As we were almost in Marietta, I remembered reading, in the eater.com article about Alton Brown’s favorite spots that he was fond of the “super funky soul food” at Manna House. We were less than ten minutes away from downtown […]
Jimmy John’s – Atlanta, GA
A year or so back, one of my friends asked me if I had ever eaten at Jimmy Johns. At the time, I had seen one or two, but never been to one. Then I started noticing them everywhere. Looking for a quick bite, I swung into the location near Ansley Mall. Walking in, I […]
Lucky Dog – Suwanee, GA
I remember several months ago when I read Marie Let’s Eat’s paean to the Vienna hotdog, I thought that I ought to try one of those. As I was lone wolfing for lunch today, and looking for something quick and close to the office, I remembered seeing Lucky Dog when I was heading up Buford […]
Mellow Mushroom – Hiram, GA
It was Tuesday before I knew we were two days into Pizza Week. Granted, I never knew such a thing existed, but, dang it, I was missing an excuse to eat pizza! When we were trying to decide on a place to meet our small group for dinner on Wednesday night, it was determined that […]
Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano – Atlanta, GA
We tried to eat at Gio’s Chicken Amalfatino quite a while back for lunch one weekday. Brilliant plan – we even navigated the challenge of parking near Antico and walked up to the door. Then found that they weren’t open for lunch. [Homer Simpson voice ON] “Doh! [Homer Simpson voice OFF]. So one night, a […]
