Gigi’s – Atlanta, GA
Thru a fairly normal turn of events in my world (this night was the third time in two days) plans for a meal changed when we got to the place I planned to eat. This morning, I had seen on IG that Missfit’s BBQ was doing their last Monday night service at Communidad Atlanta, as […]
Hai – Decatur, GA
There was a recent Eater article about the best Szechuan restaurants in Atlanta. Being a huge fan of this regional Chinese cuisine, I added six new spots to the list, including Hai in Decatur. This is the same list that gave me Sho Spicy, from earlier this year. When my wife and I were dating […]
Sho Spicy
There was a recent article in Eater Atlanta naming seven authentic Szechuan places in metro Atlanta that deserved attention. When I saw my fave, Masterpiece (which we’ve apparently eaten at for more than a decade!) on the list and I agreed with the review, I added the others to my list. So, when a good […]
Smiley’s Burger Club – Decatur, GA
I had been reading about Smiley’s for a while, but we hadn’t been in Decatur, for lunch or dinner on a Tuesday – Saturday. So, on this random Friday, we took an afternoon to “gallivant”, which started with a trip to Smiley’s. Virtually across the street from Kimball House, parking is the typical challenge for […]
Jamal’s Buffalo Wings – Atlanta, GA
This is one of the few restaurants I’ve reviewed where I had to make a second visit, because it looked too “sketchy” to eat there the first time that I visited. On a Saturday night, about dusk, what appeared to be a semi-closed restaurant with a semi-abandoned parking lot was not the best looking choice […]
The Chastain – Atlanta, GA
On this Saturday afternoon we were running some errands that started in Chamblee, then sent us towards the city on Roswell Road. As lunch approached, I looked on the list, saw that the Chastain was close by and hopped over to Resy and grabbed a 1:15 spot. As we pulled up, I told my beloved […]
Mother’s Best – Decatur, GA
The best summary of this place I saw, before heading in was, “it’s the kind of dinner mom used to take us out to, when I was a kid.” And if you’re an adult, of a certain age, who ate out in America j the 70s, you know why it was said. Think back to […]
Dumpling Factory – Atlanta, GA
Nothing like hearing about a place at lunch, and then heading there for dinner! In a recent Atlanta magazine article about the best new restaurants of 2024 (and late 2023), I saw the Dumpling Factory pick up one of 12 Honorable Mentions. So, when my beloved said what would you like for dinner, I said, […]
Sabaraba’s – Chamblee, GA
Out and about on a Saturday, and looking for something to eat that a) was near where we were going and b) fit a mutually agreed upon spot for lunch. The place we were heading was Chamblee. This was easy for food – there are literally dozens, if not scores of options. Mutually agreed upon […]
É Ke Pizza Pizza – Vinings, GA
With their twin brick ovens (Toto and Pepino), E’ Ke Pizza, from the team behind Baraonda, has been open for a little over two years ago and popped onto my list from a list in Eater Atlanta of great pizzas in the city. We had actually stopped in there for carry out pasta some months […]
