The Rodney Scott in Exile Tour, at Gunshow – Atlanta, GA
After the smokehouse at Scott’s Bar-b-que in Hemingway, SC, burned down last November, members of the Fatback Collective brought some of its members together to put on the “Rodney Scott in Exile Tour”, bringing Rodney Scott and his whole hog barbecue to towns around the South. The Atlanta stop was on Monday, at Gunshow, where […]
Thumbs Up Diner – Douglasville, GA
We’ve eaten at Thumbs Up Diner several times over the last half-dozen years, at several of their locations. We celebrated a homecoming from three months studying abroad with one of our daughters at the one on Edgewood. I’ve had business breakfasts at the same spot. And one of the most memorable was at the Marietta […]
Star Provisions 2 Go – Atlanta, GA
We’ve been to Star Provisions on many occasions – to pick up cheese or bread or something else – even a perfect anniversary gift one year. But we had never been there to eat – until today. Heading to a 2:00 GT basketball game, I wanted something different than one of our usual stops, so […]
China Gate – Duluth, GA
In my continuing exploration of near-work dining opportunities, today’s adventure took me to China Gate, in the shopping center just north of Mama’s Paradise. Not only did the signs in the window (at least the ones that I could read) offer cell phone service and cracked smart phone screen repair, but I assumed they also […]
Sal’s Pizzeria – Dallas, GA
Heading to Wednesday night journey group and looking for something different for dinner (as we weren’t rushing for a change), we got into Dallas and hadn’t yet picked a place. Choices, rapidly, became limited, so we stopped at Sal’s Pizzeria in downtown D. After deciding against pizza and on pasta, we placed our order. They […]
Saigon Cafe – Duluth, GA
As I was down near Gwinnett Place mall and there’s such a plethora of restaurants nearby, I chose to ask someone who worked in the area where the best local place was. They recommended three – one of which I had been to, Honey Pig. I had heard of one other (What the Pho?, a […]
Mama’s Paradise – Duluth, GA
In the perpetual hunt for something new and good near the office, I drove just south of 120 on Satellite to see what was happening in that strip mall. I found that there is a new Indian street food place that is opening soon (Currylicious – love that name) next door to a place that […]
Teela Taqueria – Sandy Springs, GA
As part of an ongoing attempt to bring the Atlanta food blogging community together, the one who always says “Marie, Let’s Eat” invited several of us to meet them for dinner at Teela Taqueria. Arriving at 6:30 on a Sunday evening, we were joined by one half of Friday Date Night, Atlanta Restaurant Blog, Atlanta, […]
St. Cecilia – Atlanta, GA
As I follow @cheffordfry on “the Twitter”, when I saw the tweet at the end of December that that they were looking for folks to test the kitchen at St. Cecilia, I jumped on the opportunity. He specifically said, “no critic, por favor”, and I mentioned that I was an amateur blogger in my e-mail. […]
Burnt Fork BBQ – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had eaten at Burnt Fork BBQ previously, a couple of years ago with some friends, but never got around to posting a review. Tonight, when heading towards Decatur (originally with another destination in mind, but being delayed by traffic) I realized where I was and ran in to grab some […]
