Humble Pie – Atlanta, GA
I’ll start this review off with a statement – this restaurant is cashless. This is a (sadly, not) new trend, that I will begin to track. Some places are great about letting you know their payment policies, others not so much so, so I’ll be adding that upfront to future reviews and updating older ones […]
Firewall – Atlanta, GA
In a recent Facebook tease for the best pizza in Atlanta, a couple of a new (to me) places appeared. So, when my beloved said “why don’t you bring something home for dinner?”, that list popped into my mind. Realizing that Firewall was right off 20, a decision was made. From their website, it was […]
The Companion – Atlanta, GA
Almost 7 years ago, to the day, we visited Steinbeck’s Ale House, in Oakhurst, after hearing about their burger. A couple of weeks ago, I was reading an article about restaurants that had opened in 2020 (and survived Covid) that ought to be visited. And it was there that I read about Steinbeck’s chef, Andy […]
Emmy Squared Pizza – Atlanta, GA
The last time we were in Nashville, one place that popped up on every best burger list was Emmy Squared Pizza. I thought it a bit odd that a burger from a pizza place was on these “best of” lists, but who would lie about such things on the Internet? (Actually, they won Nashville’s Battle […]
Chattahoochee Food Works – Atlanta, GA (Quick Bite)
In these pandemic times, for all of us, the world has changed. We still eat three meals a day, but for the last eighteen months very few of them have been “out”, particularly at a new restaurant. On this fall Saturday, we made an outing to IKEA. Since we were already hazarding the universe at […]
K & K Soul Food – Atlanta, GA
Today’s lunch is at another spot sent to me from the pages of Garden N Gun – K&K Soul Food. (It’s like these pages speak to me – “if we fry it, you will come.”) K & K has been in business for fifty years, and I’ve been seeing it on one version of my […]
Das BBQ
Sometimes, it feels like a place is just trying too hard – that’s my summary for this visit . Today, we headed to Das BBQ, after seeing it featured in Atlanta Eats and then getting a confirming positive vote from a lunch mate, yesterday. In all the pre-opening press, owner Stephen Franklin talks about wanting […]
B’s Cracklin’Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, I heard that someone was smoking whole hog barbecue in northwest Atlanta. I made a mental note and figured that I would hear more about it and get there soon enough. Two months passed by when I saw an online article from Atlanta magazine about pitmaster Bryan Furman, at B’s Cracklin’ Barbecue, […]
Ssam Burger – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, there was an article on Eater.com about interesting burgers in Atlanta. Ssam Burger, on Defoors Ferry popped up. I had not heard about it, but with our love of the Korean / taco fusion at Hankook, why wouldn’t we like a Korean / burger place? Located in a strip center, next […]
Better Half – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Located on 14th Street, just off the Georgia Tech campus, is a relatively new entrant to the Atlanta dining scene – Better Half, which started life as a supper club, Pushstart Kitchen. Husband and wife Zach and Kristina Meloy began this labor of love at the Goat Farm in 2011 and […]
