Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria – Kennesaw, GA
When I first saw Man Versus Food, I thought, “Adam Richman is the kind of guy that I’d like to hang out with” (yes, I know that I shouldn’t have ended a sentence with a preposition, but I didn’t honestly think “the kind of guy with whom I’d like to hang out” at the time, […]
Chicken and the Egg, Marietta, GA
One Sunday, after church, we were looking for some place new to eat. As we’re pulling out of the parking lot, I hit Open Table and searched for places nearby and took a look. Up popped Chicken and the Egg, near the square, on Whitlock Avenue, in Marietta. We read the reviews and decided to […]
Five Napkin Burger – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several months ago, I read in the local news about a new burger joint coming to town, Five Napkin Burger, in the old space where Nickiemoto’s was located at the corner of 10th and Piedmont. This New York based restaurant, with outposts in Boston, Miami and here, is an up-scale burger […]
Grindhouse Killer Burgers – Atlanta, GA
Looking back through my lists, I also realized that I’ve never blogged about Grindhouse Killer Burgers. We ate at the original location (in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market) some time in mid-2009 and I’d been back to that location for lunch when I was in town on a couple of occasions. They’ve opened a second […]
Cakes and Ale – Decatur, GA
In the continuing pursuit of Atlanta’s best restaurants, we went to Cakes and Ale in Decatur, #3 from the August, 2011 Atlanta Magazine article. Cakes and Ale has recently relocated just down from the Iberian Pig in Decatur. In fact, when I first called to make the reservation, they were closed for the move. So […]
LeRoy’s Fried Chicken, Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. About two months ago, I noticed a new place on Howell Mill – LEROYS FRIED CHICKEN. I’ll admit it – I got very excited. Immediately, a picture came to mind. Leroy – white t-shirt, apron, that old-time cook’s cap that fits like a Navy hat, standing over a deep fryer, cigarette […]
Sotto Sotto – Atlanta, GA
After the “City’s Fifty Best Restaurants” article came out in Atlanta magazine, I set a goal to try the ones in the top ten to which we hadn’t been. Second reservation, after the yet-to-be-topped Restaurant Eugene, was at Sotto Sotto. Early on a Saturday we went. This seems to be our best time for dinner […]
Restaurant Eugene – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several times over the last couple of years, when I was scrolling through the choices on Open Table, Restaurant Eugene has rolled across the radar. I’d look at the reservation slots, pull up the menu on-line and think, “one day, we’ll go there. Just not tomorrow, or Saturday night.” Finally, last […]
