Tum Pok Pok – Chamblee, GA
Meeting some colleagues for lunch and looking for someplace new, north of Buckhead, I suggested we meet at Tum Pok Pok, on Buford Highway. From owner Adidsara Weerasin, the food focuses not on traditional Americanized versions of Thai food, but rather Thai street food and the cooking of the Isan (northeastern) region. The foods there […]
The Po’ Boy Shop – Decatur, GA
In a listing of best sandwiches in Atlanta, the Po’ Boy Shop appeared. It actually had appeared before me on three occasions, when I had tried, unsuccessfully, to get a Cuban sandwich next door at Buena Gente, but I had looked past it. On a Sunday afternoon, looking for something to carry home for dinner, […]
Crossing Bridge Rice Noodle – Duluth, GA
Today’s lunch adventure is brought to you by the Eater Atlanta article “11 Essential Chinese restaurants in Atlanta”. As I am always looking for choices and trying to find someplace new, I looked for those, on their list (which I had already incorporated into mine) around the office. They had a 10 Second Rice […]
Humble Mumble – Atlanta, GA
On the day after Christmas, at a near-deserted CODA Collective food hall, we made our way to Humble Mumble. Chef Justin Dixon‘s restaurant, named after his favorite Outkast song, had been on my radar, since seeing it on an eater Atlanta list of the best sandwiches in Atlanta. But they’re only open from 11 AM […]
Eating Americana – Peachtree Corners, GA
The chicken was excellent, juicy and piping hot, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The skin was crisp and the seasoning on the chicken was deceptively simple and represents chef James Chien’s love affair with American comfort food. In a great review in Eater Atlanta, Lia Picard’s tells chef’s story, so I’d refer you […]
Tio Lucho’s – Atlanta, GA
Last year, Tio Lucho’s popped onto my radar, in an article about 75 restaurants that you needed to try in Atlanta. A couple of month’s back, when we went to Fishmonger, I saw it across the street and thought about trying to go for a “double lunch”, but the timing did not work on that […]
Owens and Hull at Grand Champion – Smyrna, GA
This restaurant does not accept cash. Earlier in the week, I saw an article in Eater Atlanta about a new barbecue place that had opened on the west side, Owens and Hull, and thought to myself, I’ll have to try that soon. I had actually thought about driving over one day for lunch, from […]
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 […]
D Boca N Boca – Atlanta, GA
This restaurant “does not accept cash”. It took almost three years for D Boca N Boca to open. And I’ve been watching the space for most of that time. You see, I’m a sucker for authentic Mexican food. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against well done strip-mall “Dos-Burros-Amigos-Fiesta-Loco” Americanized-Mexican food, but that’s […]
Slim & Husky’s
Several months ago, there was an article about the best pizzas in the ATL and Nashville-based Slim + Husky’s appeared on it, and to me. Like everything else that catches my stomach’s eye, I put it on “the list” and waited for the right time. So, on a drive home on Friday evening, I ordered […]
