Caffe Gio – Atlanta, GA
After lunch at Tasty China, followed by a trip to IKEA, I felt the need for sweets on the way home. Driving through Home Park, stopping at Caffe Gio for gelato seemed like a great idea. Arriving close to 5:00, there was no one else there, although the tables on the patio showed signs of […]
Tasty China – Marietta, GA
Back in the beginning of my food quest, I carried around some paper lists in a plastic folder in the trunk. Among those was a printout from Atlanta magazine from 2006 (or 2007) with a list of restaurants, by area of town. One of the places that I remember from that list was Tasty China, […]
The General Muir – Atlanta, GA
For months, everywhere I’ve looked, people have been raving about the General Muir. From all of the press right after it opened, to Atlanta Magazine recently naming it their Restaurant of the Year, to, most recently, being named one of the fifty best new restaurant nominees by Bon Appetit for their 2013 award. I’ve been […]
Hambones Southern Style BBQ – Hapeville, GA
When Grant and I were planning our co- blogging dinner (auto correct changed “dinner” to “fibber” when I originally typed that word, that may have been a Freudian confession about my food experiences) to Righteous ‘Que (chronicled here and here), I mentioned five or six barbecue joints that I had planned to go to and […]
Hottie Hawg’s Smokin’ BBQ – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For the last couple of years, as we headed down Bolton Rd to get to West Midtown, I’d been tempted by the sign for Hottie Hawg’s Smokin’ BBQ, but never could convince my passenger to eat there. Maybe it was the sexist caricature of the pig in daisy duke’s and a […]
1kept – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, every time I went on open table to make a reservation, the first place that showed up had been 1kept. (And people wonder, “what’s in a name”?) I finally gave in to the product placement and when one of our dining-out couples asked about going out on Saturday night, […]
Five Spice Asian Fusion – Duluth, GA
For the past seven plus years, about once a month, we’ve eaten lunch at Chin Chin Seven, on Sugarloaf Parkway. If you aren’t aware, Chin Chin is a Atlanta franchise, currently with nine locations. Then one day, when we went for lunch, the name had changed to Five Spice Asian Fusion. We didn’t know what […]
timone’s local pizza joint – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Following Ron Eyster (who also owns Rosebud and the Family Dog), on Twitter *, I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of his new pizza restaurant, timone’s local pizaa joint, for months. This evening as I was heading in town and driving through Morningside, I thought it would be a great […]
Uptown Grille – Suwanee, GA
When I walked into the Uptown Grille at 12 o’clock on a Thursday and there was no one else there, it wasn’t the best sign. I actually questioned if they were open, but there were a couple of people sitting at a table outside drinking beers. The bartender asked if she could help me (which […]
Marco’s Pizza – Duluth, GA
A quick review: I’ve seen several Marco’s Pizzas opening around town recently and wondered about them. Today, I found out that they’re a chain that’s from Ohio that is aggressively franchising. With over 340 stores in 29 states (plus two the Bahamas and Panama) they’ve grown immensely, since the first location opened in Toledo in […]
