The Bando – Atlanta, GA
For the last several months, one of my co-workers has asked, “Have you been to the Bando, yet?” And, every time she does, I remember reading about them on a list of “best wings in the ATL” and having to reply, “not yet.” But today was THE day. We had been up in Cumming early […]
Northern China Eatery – Doraville, GA
Late last year, Atlanta Magazine published a list of the 75 “Best Restaurants” and gave me 30+ places we hadn’t been, to try. We were heading back across town and I gave my beloved two cuisines to choose from (Asian or Latin). Yes, this was a broad choice, particularly as we were pulling off 285 […]
How Crispy Express – Atlanta
After the grouper sandwich search found at FishMonger, the next sandwich on the list was from How Crispy Express. This former pop up, now in a storefront in Summerhill is just across the patio from Wood’s Chapel. I’ve seen the signage several times but never gone in. I’ve also browsed the menu on-line, several times, […]
Fishmonger – Atlanta, GA
Everywhere I’ve looked for the last several months, there’s been a social media reference to Fishmonger and their blackened grouper sandwich. The mention that put them on “my list” was their inclusion on the 2022 edition of Atlanta Magazine’s best restaurants list. This afternoon we were doing some Christmas shopping in town around lunchtime. I […]
Warung Indonesian Halal Restaurant – Doraville, GA
This week I found a new restaurant, of all places, in my inbox. This week’s Gravy for Breakfast email, from Southern Foodways Alliance, was all about Warung Indonesian Halal Restaurant. I won’t reiterate the whole article, but this restaurant was born of the pandemic and has included Halal in their name and seen it make […]
The Slutty Vegan – Duluth, GA
For the last two plus years, I’ve continuously heard about / read about Pinky Cole’s Slutty Vegan. The original location, on Edgewood, has had lines out the door every time we’ve been by. And since, frankly, I am a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore, I wasn’t too excited about standing in line to eat vegan food. I had […]
Hot Dog Pete’s – Atlanta, GA (Quick Bite)
One of my co-workers asked me if I had been to Hot Dog Pete’s, which had opened in July of 2020. I’d never heard of it, which immediately made it interesting. So on a Sunday afternoon, as we discussed what we might want for lunch, I suggested a quick run down to Summer Hill to […]
Thank U Chicken – Duluth, GA
Thank U Chicken appeared out of nowhere (to me) on the Garden ‘N Gun Fried Chicken Bucket List. And it’s just down the road from the office. A lunch visit was definitely in order. I went in on a rainy Thursday, and appeared to be the first person in the restaurant. I knew I […]
Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno – Austell, GA
Earlier this year, I spent quite a few evenings in the Austell area. Several times I drove by Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno, at the corner of Hicks and Austell Roads. and thought, “I wonder what that place’s food is like?” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]
