February 23, 2012 · by · in Burgers, Decatur, Georgia · 2 Comments

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

February 11, 2012 · by · in Burgers, Georgia, West Midtown · 3 Comments

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

February 4, 2012 · by · in Austell / Mableton / Powder Springs, Barbecue, Chili Dogs, Georgia · 5 Comments

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, […]

Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria – Kennesaw, GA

November 28, 2011 · by · in Georgia, Marietta / Kennesaw, Pizza · Leave a comment

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

November 13, 2011 · by · in Fried Chicken, Georgia, Marietta / Kennesaw · Leave a comment

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

October 14, 2011 · by · in Burgers, Georgia, Midtown · 2 Comments

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

October 13, 2011 · by · in Burgers, Georgia, Midtown · 2 Comments

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 […]

The Georgia Pig, Brunswick, GA – CLOSED

September 29, 2011 · by · in Barbecue, Georgia, South GA · 2 Comments

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. On the way to a meeting, after flying into Jacksonville, I stopped off at the Georgia Pig in Brunswick, GA for some barbecue.  I had eaten there two or three years back, but I didn’t remember anything at all about the meal.  I blamed that on my memory – what I […]

Cakes and Ale – Decatur, GA

September 10, 2011 · by · in Decatur, Fine Dining, Georgia · 2 Comments

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 […]

Thompson Brothers’ Barbecue – Atlanta, GA

August 18, 2011 · by · in Barbecue, Georgia, Smyrna / Vinings · 1 Comment

So I keep these three “lists” of places that I want to eat in my trunk (I also have a digital version in my phone) – all for places in Atlanta.  One Saturday in July, I decided to venture out in the quest for ‘que.  Thompson Brothers BBQ, in the Cumberland / Smyrna area (right […]
