Matthews Cafeteria – Tucker, GA
From 1989 to 1992, my office was in Tucker, about three miles from Matthews Cafeteria and we’d eat there once or twice a month. In 1992, our office moved to Norcross and the journey became longer and the visit less frequent. We’d head down there once every couple of months, generally on a Thursday for […]
Boudreaux’s Cafe Acadiana – Duluth, GA
For the last several years, one of my favorite lunch spots near the office was Boudreaux’s Seafood on Buford Highway. It was a seafood market, that also served a great lunch. The guy that owns it is Cajun-born-and-bred (actually a Loyola-schooled tax lawyer) who years ago went looking for a good po-boy in Atlanta and […]
Yeah! Burger – Atlanta, GA
Looking back, I can’t believe that I haven’t said anything about Yeah! Burger. We eat there about once every three weeks. It’s really quote simple: I ask Jo where she wants to eat, and, regardless of where we are or when it is, she says, “Yeah! Burger”. The concept is near perfect: they use natural […]
Everybody’s Pizza – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. We had always eaten at the Everybody’s Pizza in Virginia-Highlands, but when Madison chose Everybody’s for her birthday dinner, we found that the location on Highlands had closed. So we packed the family up and headed for Emory Village. This was the first birthday this year when everyone lived in the […]
Henry’s Louisiana Grill – Acworth, GA
Acworth is an area to which we don’t frequently venture for dinner. When some friends of ours invited us to meet them at Henry’s Louisiana Grill one Monday night, we took the chance. I’m a cajun food fan, so I’m always up for trying a new place. We’d heard several folks talking about the food […]
Local Three – Atlanta, GA
(This is actually a compendium of several visits) One of our favorite dinner / lunch spots is Muss & Turner’s in Vinings. When we saw that they were opening a new restaurant with chef Chris Hall, Local Three Kitchen & Bar, we got excited. They took over the old Jo-el space off Paces Ferry. Our […]
Fritti – Atlanta, GA
One Friday evening, we were heading into town for dinner and I gave my dining companions a few choices – the consensus choice was Fritti. We got there about 6:00 and were initially shown to a table against the back wall, even though the inside was fairly empty. We asked and were moved to a […]
Village Burger – Dunwoody, GA
Over the last couple of months, I’ve seen several mentions of Village Burger – on a great website (roadfood.com) referred by a friend – actually he was pointing out the peach donuts in California, but I searched for Georgia places, on one of my favorite blogs (Marie, Let’s Eat), in a couple of magazine lists […]
Hot Dog Alley – St. Simon’s Island, GA
We were staying down on St. Simons Island for a couple of days on business. As I headed out to an afternoon meeting late one day, I saw Hot Dog Alley. It was closed for the day, but I made a note to swing back by at some point over the next couple of days. […]
