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 […]
West Cobb Diner – Marietta, GA
When we called some friends and asked if they wanted to meet for dinner on Friday, they said that they were meeting another couple at West Cobb Diner and asked us to join them. We pulled it up on Google maps and realized that it was right at the corner of 120 and Barrett Parkway […]
Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen – Norcross, GA
I’ve been working in the Norcross / Duluth area for over 20 years. For many of those years, particularly those prior to the opening of the Forum on 141 and the Mall of Georgia, there was a dearth of “nice” restaurants for a business lunch. When they opened Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, (back in the early […]
White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails – Atlanta, GA
(A quick review): Looking for a place to meet a couple of folks for lunch in-town, I pulled up their work address on the map, zoomed in and checked out the restaurants in close proximity. White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails showed up. The name had been on my radar for a couple of months, so […]
