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. […]
Grand Champion BBQ – Roswell, GA
I’d been wanting to try Grand Champion BBQ, since I saw them listed in Atlanta Magazine’s May, 2013 barbecue issue. When we were discussing lunch today, I was reminded, as was my dearest, of last year’s 4th of July rib debacle where we struck out in 4 places (The Old Brick Pit, Heirloom Market, Thompson […]
Bhojanic – Atlanta, GA
I first heard about Bhojanic from Atlanta magazine in the fall of 2011, when they appeared (out of nowhere, at least to me) on the list of the 50 best restaurants in Atlanta. Since then, I’ve been looking for the right time to go and this afternoon, when we were heading downtown relatively early, I […]
Sweet Auburn Curb Market – Atlanta, GA
After first hearing about Bell Street Burritos in Atlanta Magazine (back in the March, 2012 “Cheap Eats” edition), I’ve been meaning to get by there. They had opened a location on Howell Mill, which I believed would surely be easier to get to than the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. But it closed without me ever […]
Fat Matt’s Rib Shack – Atlanta, GA
I first discovered Fat Matt’s Rib Shack seven or eight years ago when someone suggested that I go there and hear this blues band. Now I end up there about once every five or six weeks. Somehow, I’ve failed to blog about it. This entry actually comprises two visits (so that I can cover more […]
Wyatt’s Country Bar-B-Que – Atlanta, GA
Weekend before last, when we were at Ann’s Snack Bar, as we were leaving I saw Wyatt’s Country Bar-B-Que across the street (and up the block). I had never noticed it before and determined to give it a try in the near future. Tonight, when I was stuck in ridiculous, rain-induced and construction-complicated traffic, I […]
Ten Atlanta – Atlanta, GA
Capping off a weekend of dining in re-purposed restaurants (after a disappointing lunch at S’more BBQ), we ended up at Ten Atlanta for brunch on Sunday, in the former Five Napkin Burger space. Here’s the question that I’m sure is on your mind, if you’ve looked at the link to the restaurant: How did we […]
S’more BBQ – Douglasville, GA
On the site of a former Smokey Bones, S’more BBQ opened some time last year over by Arbor Place Mall. We had driven by there several times but never had the occasion to stop. Today, when we had no other place to be and needed to grab a quick bite, we pulled in. If I […]
