Kyma – Atlanta, GA

To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma.  We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table.  The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit  I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]

The Red Eyed Mule – Marietta, GA

While running some errands one Saturday and looking for food, I remembered that there had been a couple of places with Marietta addresses in this month’s “Cheap Eats” article in Atlanta Magazine.  A quick Google search from the USPS parking lot and the choice was made – the Red Eyed Mule.  I knew we were […]

Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks – Atlanta, GA

So for about the last four or five years, I’ve driven by this giant sign for Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks on Monroe Drive and told myself, “Self, you’ve got to get one of those cheesesteaks.”  But every time that I drove by there (mostly on Thursdays, mostly between 7:00 and 8:00 pm), it was closed.  […]

Honey Pig – Duluth, GA

In my never-ending quest to visit as many of Atlanta’s 50 Best Restaurants (according to Atlanta Magazine last summer), before a new list comes out, this week’s adventure took me to the Honey Pig, in Duluth. First off, I didn’t have nearly the issues that I had with the language at Myong Ga Won so […]

Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub – Atlanta, GA

One of the greatest opportunities / challenges to living in Atlanta is the sheer number of restaurants.  Finding a new restaurant.  Deciding if tonight is the night to try something new or whether you want to go to some place again that you’ve been before.  But the biggest challenge is hearing about the new restaurants.  […]

Myung Ga Won – Duluth, GA

In one of the summer editions of Atlanta magazine, they named Myung Ga Won as one of the fifty best restaurants in Atlanta.  One day last week, I was heading out to lunch alone and thought I’d give it a try.  Walking in was just like going into Moe’s, except that everyone yelled at me […]

No. 246 – Decatur, GA

Since July of last year, a lot of the local buzz has been about No. 246, the new offering from Ford Fry (from JCT) and Drew Belline (former chef de cuisine of Floataway Cafe).  It quickly became the new “it” restaurant and when I read that they didn’t accept reservations, I figured that we wouldn’t […]

Boardwalk Burgers – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. While heading to a Thursday night jam down at the Red Light Cafe, I noticed a new burger place had opened in Ansley Mall – Boardwalk Burgers. It turns out that it is a new franchise location for which, according to the sign on the wall and their web site, the […]

Flip Burger Boutique – Atlanta, GA

I think the first time we tried Flip Burger Boutique was well before I started my blog, shortly after it opened (early 2009, maybe?)  One Saturday, we were downtown and decided to give it a whirl, iPhone in hand.  Flip is the brainchild of Top Chef season 8 winner Richard Blais and is designed around […]

Fred’s Bar-B-Q House – Austell, GA

Over the course of my life, I’ve eaten at the Bar-B-Q House dozens of time, and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever eaten their barbecue (this visit was in February, 2012).  When I was kid, my dad took me to the Bar-B-Q House for “yellow jacket” hot dogs.  For barbecue, we always went to Wallace’s, […]
