Moriscos La Riviera Nayarit – Norcross, GA
Moriscos La Riviera Nayarit has been on my list, pretty much since it opened in 2011. Located on Jimmy Carter, just east of I-85, it has been close to my office, but not close “enough” to have made it there, yet. On this day, I was heading south around lunch time and made a plan […]
Ford’s BBQ – Tucker, GA
In a recent article about Atlanta barbecue, I saw a few new places (to me) pop up, Ford’s BBQ among them. With locations in Oakhurst and Tucker, I had been wanting to give it a try. On this Thursday, with a gap between meetings, I headed down that way for lunch. The interior is rather […]
Dagu Rice Noodle – Atlanta, GA
So, if you’ve followed the blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed my affinity for Asian food. But I was heading to Dagu Rice Noodle, not for the noodles, but for their fried chicken. In a November, 2023, Eater Atlanta article, they were highlighting great fried chicken in the metro and this was mentioned as”tender […]
Ela – Atlanta, GA
On this Sunday, we were headed for the (supposedly awesome) cheeseburgers at Evergreen Butcher and Baker, which are only available on Sundays. So we headed downtown, parked down the street and walked toward the restaurant. There wasn’t the expected line – just a sign on the door that they were “pausing” the Sunday cheeseburgers. […]
Zeke’s Kitchen & Bar – Smyrna, GA
Zeke’s Kitchen & Bar popped onto my “list” from an Eater list of the best sandwiches in Atlanta. On this Sunday, we were heading to Marietta and I realized just how close we were to Zeke’s. I’ve never had Haitian cuisine, but we’ve had Dominican food (from the other end of the island), so I […]
Roshambo – Atlanta, GA
Looking for a lunch spot on a random Saturday, I remembered an article I read recently about the burger at Roshambo. Always down for a cheeseburger, we headed that way and arrived right at 3:00, as they were changing shifts. We were initially seated in the bar, at a high top that was aptly named […]
Taylor’d Bar-B-Q – Avondale Estates, GA
In a recent article from Eater Atlanta, I found a barbecue place of which I had not heard – Taylor’d Bar-B-Q, in Avondale Estates. Housed in the building that was previously MoBetta Wings, this former competition barbecue team (headed by Josh McDowell) opened Taylor’d in July, 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. We asked […]
Birdcage – Atlanta, GA
An article from Eater Atlanta about new restaurants in the city, put Birdcage on the list. On Memorial Drive, just east of Boulevard, the decor screams Miami Beach, at the peak of its glory, in both color and tone. Combine that with an homage to the mid-nineties Nathan Lane / Robin Williams film of the […]
Sinaloense Pollo Asados
Months back, I heard about the family owned and operated El Autentico Sinaloense Pollo Asados, on Buford Highway, as a place we needed to try. We actually attempted to go there, I think on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and they weren’t open, so they stayed on “the list”. This Saturday, we were heading to town […]
