Partridge Restaurant – Rome, GA
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we drove up to Rome to attend an honor society induction and to have lunch with our daughter and her boyfriend. When you attempt to avoid chain restaurants in Rome, your choices are somewhat limited. We headed downtown to Broad Street, likely headed to Jefferson’s or Harvest Moon, when the […]
Vinings Inn – Atlanta, GA
As Saturday night was right around the corner, we were looking for a reasonable place for dinner with another couple, semi-close to home. I consulted the oracle (open table) looking for a place in Vinings with a 6:30 reservation open and found a couple with availability at which we hadn’t eaten. I did a quick […]
Nam Phuong – Norcross, GA
For the last couple of years, every article that I read about food in Atlanta mentioned Nam Phoung, in Norcross. When a friend and I were looking for a place to celebrate his birthday lunch, and I realized that Nam Phoung was between our offices, I suggested it and he thought it sounded like fun. […]
Paolo’s Gelato Italiano- Atlanta, GA
There was a summer about four or five years ago when nearly every visit to the city for a weekend dinner ended up with someone saying, “How about some gelato?” There would then be affirmation from the rest of the car and we’d head toward Virginia-Highlands and Paolo’s Gelato Italiano. We fell in love with […]
Goin’ Coastal – Atlanta, GA
On a recent Saturday evening out with another couple, we finally tried a place that I’ve been meaning to get to for at least a year, Goin’ Coastal Seafood, in Virginia-Highlands. We’d seen it on frequent visits to Paolo’s. One of my friends kept telling me I had to go. So, this week, when we […]
JCT – Atlanta, GA
Several years back, before I started taking pictures of my food, we had dinner at JCT on a couple of occasions. But I had never had their fried chicken. As Ford Fry seems to be the “it ” chef in Atlanta right now, I’d seen several reviews in the last several months, all talking about […]
SOHO – Vinings, GA
For Valentine’s Day, we were looking for a spot on the way downtown and SOHO was one of the places that popped up with an open reservation. We actually attempted to eat there a couple of years ago – we even had a reservation. But I confused where we I had made the reservation with […]
Steverino’s – Duluth, GA
It’s Friday, it’s lunch time and it’s raining, as a co-worker and I headed into downtown Duluth without a dining destination in mind. We did, however, have the solution that we’d eat at whichever restaurant had the closest parking spot available (solid reasoning, right?) What’s that – a spot on the curb, right in front […]
The Iberian Pig – Decatur, GA
Note: I’m not usually one for reading diner reviews before I go some place, but the sub-90% from Urbanspoon and the low stars in Open Table through up enough of a red flag that I did some investigation, making sure there wasn’t a “food issue”. You’ll see references to reviews below that I don’t usually […]
Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs – Marietta, GA
Many times over the last several years, I’ve driven by Brandi’s World Famous Hot Dogs, but I’ve never been by when the “Open” sign was in the windiw. They’re open 10:00 – 3:00, Monday – Friday, and my schedule never seemed to mesh with their hours. Nearly in downtown Marietta (they’re just down the street […]
