Big Shanty BBQ – Kennesaw, GA
Big Shanty BBQ first hit my radar in the 2011 Atlanta magazine barbecue issue, when they used the magic words “banana pudding”. The article listed barbecue restaurants by county, along with their specialties. In the entry for Big Shanty, it highlighted their ribs and pulled pork – and said that their banana pudding was really […]
Taqueria del Sol – Atlanta, GA
Taqueria del Sol is a place that always seems to have a line out front. I remember eating there a couple of times over the last few years and it was good, but I don’t think I have been since I started blogging. And I don’t “get” the line. It’s always been good, but the […]
Vinny’s New York Pizza & Grill – Duluth, GA
We’ve been visiting Vinny’s New York Pizza for at least the last eight years as a lunch time spot, yet I’ve somehow failed to mention them. Today when I went to get a quick bowl of pho, I found that Miss Saigon had ended it’s run. (This is not an obscure Broadway reference, but rather […]
Family Restaurant – Duluth, GA
One day, deciding that I wanted to eat something different for lunch, I ended up back at Family Restaurant. (I’d add a link to their website here, but they don’t seem to have one. They do have a Facebook page, here, which has had very little activity.) Located just next door to the grill at […]
Atlanta Fish Market – Atlanta, GA
We hadn’t been to the Atlanta Fish Market in several years. Armed with a gift card for the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, we were looking for a dining option in Buckhead for lunch and AFM was the consensus decision. That giant fish is quite a sight as you turn onto Pharr Road, off Peachtree. We […]
Chick-a-Biddy – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I read in one of the Yelp blogs about a new chicken “shack” opening in Atlantic Station from the Bantam & Biddy team, Chick-a-Biddy. They opened a little over two weeks ago, and I’d been intending to get there at some point in the near future. As I was heading downtown to […]
Cardamom Hill – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Cardamom Hill is one of the other places that kept appearing, over and over, on the Best of Atlanta lists. After such a great experience at Bhojanic (we’ve been back since our first visit with another couple), we figured we might actually like Indian food and we were on a roll… […]
Umaido – Suwanee, GA
In last year’s Spring Dining Guide in the AJC, Umaido was listed. That was the first and only mention I had seen of it in the last couple of years, but they were still on one of my “lists”. Looking for adventure on a Friday we ended up heading in that direction. Just getting to […]
Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q – Flowery Branch, GA
I’d like to start this entry with a tip of the hat to Marie, Let’s Eat for pointing me toward Southern Smoq Bar-B-Q. When I got the email signalling the blog entry about their visit, I was excited to find a new place (relatively) near my office that was getting good reviews. I have a […]
Mot’s Bar-B-Que – Augusta, GA
As a bit of general advice, the worst time in the world to go on a barbecue hunt is the week of the 4th of July. Not thinking that through completely, as we were heading over to Charleston for a long weekend, I had a couple of places in mind to try along the way. […]
